Utshob

I promised myself I would not waste any more of my time watching Bangla cinema, no matter how strong the reviews are. I have been made a fool too many times. But the first trailer of this movie got me hooked.

All the legendary actors who were our childhood crushes are gathered in this movie, and they are making fun of themselves, quoting each other's viral dialogues, and having fun... The trailer made me intrigued. But I was not sure if I would go to the cinema hall to enjoy this.

But this evening, after a hectic week at the office, one of our colleagues proposed watching this movie, and I instantly agreed. From the very first scene, I was hooked. Within 5 minutes, there was a big laughter. It was wholesome, emotionally impactful, and charming. The story was inspired by Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, set in a Bangladeshi context. I came out of the hall with teary eyes.

Overall, if you are a Bangla cinema fan, please go to your nearest cineplex and enjoy the movie with your loved ones.

It's not easy to make a grown man cry, laugh and emotional at a same movie. The script is witty as well as heart touching. It feels like experiencing the moments of ones own life. The worst part is when you realize that the movie is going to end.

Storytelling is like a roller coaster ride. One moment you are relaxed and laughing at your seat, the next moment will take you to the edge of your seat. Choice of music is nice.

Casting is very thoughtful. The link among characters transits the movie so smoothly that there is never a dull moment.

Ear popping applause for the Director, script writer and the artists. This movie will remain as a classic 👌.

"Don't watch It without family" was the warning tagline in the trailer and it's posters which attracted most. After watching the film, someone can understand why. Though it is an adaptation of "A Christmas Carol", it yet represents the soulful touch of family bondings and makes us nostalgic about 90's golden days.

Screenplay was overall good with some wonderful cameo appearances, dialogues was written with great sense of humor and there was soulful touch which made deep impressions.

Casting was top notch with lead role of Jahangir played by Jahid Hasan. His acting was so natural & facial expressions was spontaneous. Major supporting roles played by Soumya & Sadia was refreshing, Afsana Mimi, Tareq Anam, Sunehra, Dinar and Cameo appearances played by Chanchal, Joya & Aupee all carried their roles perfectly.

It was overall a great cinematic experience which will make us emotional & feel good at the end.

Hats off to the director, cast and producer of Utshab for making such a heart warming, feel good movie. Among all non sense actioned packed movie released during Eid, this was like a fresh air. Perhaps one of the best movie made by any bangladeshi film makers during last 10 years. It's pity though it did not get much attention initially. Hope those who watched and liked this movie will promote about this film so that people are encouraged to watch it in big screen. Though people mostly appreciated Zahid hasan and other senior actor's performance, actors like Sadia Ayman, Soumya also performed very well.

The title of this movie speaks for itself. It is indeed a wholesome celebration of life, its people, and all the possibilities. It will make you cry, smile, and indulge in nostalgia, all at once. A truly refreshing and unique movie; a breath of fresh air compared to all the typical movies these days. It is also a bridge between the old and the new generation.

Zahid Hasan plays the role of Jahangir, an elderly, grumpy man living alone. Disliked by his entire neighborhood for his bad manners, his life suddenly changes when something unexpected happens.

Honestly, the less you know about the movie, the better. Go and watch this movie in the theatres. And don't forget to take your family and loved ones with you.
