Shah Jahan Regency

Shahjahan Regency There are some movies which are just mere watches but there are some which just stay with you always. This movie is of of a novice who joins a hotel and his experience of how a hotel functions and how each room has a story to tell. The emotions, dilemma, etc are are seen and captured wonderfully through all its multi-starer cast . More and more can be said but this movie has to be seen for its exceptional acting, accurate and precise screenplay and not to forget the very engaging , personal and microscopic cinematography. Life goes on is the very crux of this masterpiece. A marvelous ode to the city of joy.

Great storyline with messages.. Awesome acting by everybody. Thanks to the whole unit for presenting us such thrills. Amra achi #bangla_cinema_jugjug_jio 🤘

It is the second movie adaptation of the famous novel Chowringhee (1962) by Mani Shankar Mukherjee. The first movie adaptation was also titled Chowringhee (1968).

Shot beautifully in relatively dim light, befitting the interiors of a posh and iconic city hotel, the movie covers all the nooks and corners of a hotel named 'Shah Jahan Regency' and different aspects of the lives of the people connected with it, starting from it's owners, to it's staff, to it's patrons and visitors.

Subtly paced, the movie gives a well etched view of life in modern day Kolkata, all inclusive of it's beauty, ugliness and irony.

It's a one of a kind movie that will keep you glued to the screen and leave you with a faint streak of dismay, establishing the fact that all that glitters is not gold and nothing in this life can be taken for granted.

Very well directed movie. All the actors specially Abir & Swastika has played very well.

I can't fathom how such a deep and efficiently executed movie can attract only 6.5 out of 10. Grow up people, think how craftily the creators stitched the lives of all those sad souls. I have not watched Chouragee, so can't really compare, but, to me it was a 2.5 hours of soulful storytelling.
