Yeah Audience Will Surely Fall In love with him... He has acted well as a new comer... Overall Actors From kolkata Did Great .. Huge Love For Them.. Yes ..we Can see a great future for Upcoming Bangladeshi Films

        Masterpiece!!

        "Swapnajaal" is remarkable just because Pori Moni isn't gratingly over the top as she is in most movies. "Swapnajaal" is well-scripted and well-acted with gorgeous visuals shot on location in Bangladesh & India. It's a charming film with wit fresh enough for a modern audience. Gias Uddin Selim out all the elements with care and precision The movie remains a great tonic.

        A family movie with a great lesson

        This is a film that successfully brings back the essence of family-oriented storytelling, something that has become increasingly rare in the modern Bangladeshi film industry. Directed by Gias Uddin Selim, this movie offers a compelling narrative filled with emotions, love, and struggle, making it suitable for viewers of all ages.

        While this movie may not be the absolute best film in its genre, it certainly stands out as a well-made and engaging movie. Pori Moni delivers a noteworthy performance, bringing depth to her character with sincerity and grace. Fazlur Rahman Babu, as expected, shines in his role, proving once again why he is regarded as one of the finest actors in Bangladesh. His portrayal is filled with nuance and authenticity, making a lasting impression.

        This is the kind of cinema that deserves to be shown all over Bangladesh. It resonates with traditional values, reminding us of the emotional bonds that hold families together. Unfortunately, the younger generation does not seem as connected to films like this, which is concerning for the cultural landscape of our society. Movies like this movie should be cherished and appreciated for their ability to bring families together and evoke genuine feelings.

        Overall, Swapnajaal is an enjoyable and meaningful film that offers a refreshing departure from contemporary trends. If you're looking for a heartfelt story with strong performances, this movie is worth watching.

        Thought provoking!!!

        A Monpura, a hiatus of 9 years and Swapnajaal!

        Set in 90's, Swapnajaal is a story of whimsical Apu and the girl next door Shuvra. The story engenders and revives accross the southern riverin of Bengal where their unconditional love endeavors between the animosity and religious boundary!

        While Monpura was largely attributed to music and remained as a visual treat, Swapnajaal has a intriguing story with an unorthodox ending which apparently leaves the audience in quandary and might be worth of some critical analysis if not acclamation!

        Shuvra might be the best work of Porimoni till date. I would say it's apparently the best from any of her contemporaries in recent times. Besides, I found Rohan a bit pale as the character Apu urged slightly more emotion!

        Talking about the supporting cast, Babu nails it with his provocative act as a notorious and humorous trader. Apart from this, Iresh acted brilliantly as partner in crime to Babu and at some instance you would start feeling as if he stole the show from the big man. Nonetheless, Shacchu, Misha, Ashis Chakrobarty and others did justice to their roles.

        In reviewing visual and technical aspects, I found the cinematography quite captivating besides music and background score could have been better.

        Being grown up by watching films like Dahan, Alo, Unishe April, Rajkahini, Belasheshe, I always thought and questioned our ability to make films like those. But, then came films like Shrabon Megher Din, Joyjatra, Monpura and now Swapnajaal. It's a rare virtue of being an original scriptwriter and a Director at the same time. Giasuddin Selim perhaps lives up to that virtue as his most ambitious project since Monpura meeting expectations.

        Swapnajaal makes you laugh, makes you cry, leaves you in enigma but eventually don't disapoints you rather quenches your thirst big time!

        Hail Swapnajaal, Hail Bangla cinema!

        Two thumbs up!

        A Poetic Love Story !

        A simple love story where there is no happy ending!

        The movie has fantastic cinematography compared to the recent released films.

        The storyline is quite a bit shaky in some places. Music and scores are placed in right positions. Background scores are sometimes played late - which gives a feeling that the editor forgot to put music when a specific sequence hits up.

        The acting of the male protagonist is average ,on the other hand Pori Moni (female protagonist) has explored herself in new ways in acting in the movie. She didn't even look like a commercial movie actress.

        The movie shows one side of love and lust ,and another side of greed and Karma. It also shows how one's karma is connected to other people's grief and frustration.

        The best scene of the movie must be the dancing in the rain. Porimoni showed her dancing skills a little bit.

        The recent movies are following the same path of sad ending! I don't know it's a good or bad thing , but I know one thing that all the films in recent times are showing one single emotion at the end with a complex gestures of climax. But, there is a subtle portray of emotion in this movie's ending - it depicts the visual expression in line with the ending plot which is not present in other films. From that core, we can easily say that this movie has all the components of being an art film and a commercial film at the same time.

        I gave it an 8 for : good cinematography, better music and simplicity of the ending.
