फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
The dark, morbid undertone of the movie notwithstanding, this movie was a different kind of experience. At the outset, it starts on a happy note, a musical performance in a bar, a happy girl listening to the song and enjoying the moment. Suddenly, in the span of 2 minutes, the entire atmosphere takes a 180 degree turn. And thus, starts Hemlock Society.
The female lead was a big no for this kind of film. She was overacting for the most part and her entire performance looked like it needed a great deal of effort on her part to even say an entire sentence and emote at the same time. In the presence of such natural actors like Parambrata Chatterjee, Rupa Ganguly, and Dipankar De; Koel Mallick fails to live up to expectations, especially since her role was supposed to carry the film.
Instead, Parambrata Chatterjee does the job for her. A shorter role, yes, but definitely much more impactful. He was brilliant in his role and brought a different kind of vibe to this bordering-on-being-depressing kind of film. His natural dialog delivery and his expressions were perfect for his role as the slightly-mischievous, super-sarcastic Ananda Kar. The supporting cast was great and the film also featured a host of cameos by popular faces of the Bengali film industry.
At the heart of the film and its biggest asset, is the story and the way it was allowed to blossom on its own. Kudos to the director on that part because the message that was delivered was both hard-hitting, and also, easy-to-grasp. This film could have really gone out of hand but Srijit Mukherji steered the ship in the right direction and Parambrata and the supporting cast did the rest. This movie will not be appreciated by everyone but still deserves a watch if only for the message it means to put forward. Great film!

Another masterpiece by srijit sir! Needless to say this multi-star-cast movie shows life is a gift in itself. It makes you see the world in a whole different way, achieving something or not, becoming successful or not it shares the previous things you're gonna miss if you give it up. You may think you are unhappy but there is someone else who is at more pain. Movie is art and this movie is a practical one. Obviously there were some comedy parts but unfortunately they weren't upto to mark(according to the rest of the film). Everyone did a great job especially parambrata sir! His dialogue deliveries were just touching the most realistic and dramatic notes at the same time. A bengali will always love this film because of the cast, where apu was in film city.

This movie is very essential for teens suffering from depression. This movie teaches to live life despite harsh difficulties. I love it. It's really a coming-of-age theme and different from usual romances. Loved it
Hemlock Society is a black comedy directed by Srijit Mukherji and is based on an institution teaching people how to commit suicide successfully. The plot opens up with a melodious song being performed in a typical Kolkata pub and captures the essence of the nightlife of city of joy. Plot development is slow but magnetic till the first half of the movie and after that it becomes somewhat predictable. Parambrata Chaterjee has played his part pretty well as the male lead and for some reasons I think Koyel Mullick was not a great choice for the female lead but given the budget constraints it is an acceptable choice and ultimately worked for the movie. Roopali Ganguly and Dipanker Dey have acted well and the well-balanced chemistry between them as a couple is one of the best points of the movie. Background score was well synchronized with the scenes and the integrated emotional elements. The plot became thinner in the second half and it would have been better if the movie was cut short 20 minutes. I would have loved it if they have shown more of Kolkata, its food and the vibrant culture. Some of the scenes in the background are witty (such as a suicide note: Thank you for the fish) and shows the director's attention to detail. It is good to see that Indian directors are attempting seriously to make dark comedies and this film takes us closer to that dream.
