Lots of facts have been used to establish a single fact. Faridpur, Muktijuddha etc were used with very quick and incomplete instances. Loose script was saved by the great duo Soumita and Sathilekha. Kharaj was not used as he should be , some copied script from Belasheshe was used unnecessarily . I really was disappointed.

Belashuru means "A new way of living" or "accepting a new way of living". This film quite well justifies this title . But it has its own issues

This sequel has no connection with whatever happened in Belasheshe. There is not even any reference to that film. Only the characters are carried forward. A Nandita-Shibo film means litres of tears flowing through character's eyes even in situations that dont require and this film is also no different.

The best part of this film is the constant effort put by Biswanath to bring back the memory of his wife Arati suffering from Alzheimer's and the sweet love and care for his wife despite his wife having forgotten him. The two share a terrific yet heart warming chemistry. Actually, this film is dominated by Swati mam and somewhere Soumitra sir feels a little sidelined as the story this time is not revolving around him unlike the previous film. But definitely this part is the highlight. Second great thing was Kharaj . Terrific comic timing bringing in the much needed comic relief in this emotional journey, some notable ones being Arati constantly calling him a milkman or newspaper man due to her illness was really fun to watch. The last good thing are the songs. All are terrific.

Now comes the weak points. A 2hr 20 mins film stretched with those usual expected subplots of the children and grandchildren and this time it does not work at all. An unnecessary gay angle popping up from nowhere (I wouldnt say where as it would be spoilers but wherever is comes, it just feels too forced ), the Sharmishta - Barin story that suddenly disappears at the end with no conclusion and the Palash-Piu story that is so awkward all contribute to nothing but only increase the length of the film. The subplots have no impact at all. Nandita-Shibo should have not opted for this old strategy rather should have focused on the main plot which was very interesting.

The final climax does justify the title brilliantly but then you know, it felt so abruptly ending that audience in the theatre were like "Oh thats the end?" The makers should have ended it in a better way rather than in an abrupt way although i understand it very well justifies the title of the film Belashuru.

Swatilekha mam is the show stealer and this film completely belongs to her. Her behavior as mentally unstable lady is really heart warming and at times heart wrenching to witness. Next is no doubt, Soumitra sir. His chemistry with Swatilekha is terrific. He doesnt dominate the film but has really good moments throughout. Next is Kharaj. His comedy made my day. Others also have done a great job and help in rescuing a film that could have gone down due to poor subplots.

Overall, this is not as good as Belasheshe but definitely a great one time watch. Wont leave a lasting impact on you but you will definitely feel atleast you watched a decent film.

This is simply awesome.. great acting by the actors as well.. well directed. I'm just loving it.. good script.. I could relate myself in many parts of the story.. overall it's fantastic...

A film which will remain in our hearts forever. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. We get to see how soumitra sir portrayed his character with vivid emotions as his wife fails to recognize him.

Loved it to the core . Please bring us more movies like this. Some verses are remain untold. Felt it from within. To the director and full team god bless you.

Except for Soumitra Chatterjee and Swatilekha, you can't watch anyone. The story is inspired by the real lives of Pabitra Chitta Nandi and his wife Gita Nandi and the emotions were properly brought by the lead actor.

BUT there comes Poor editing, silly jokes and unnecessary Nyaka dialogues. Quick transitions of scenes and stories.

Most Importantly, is it necessary at all to show in every Shiboproshad Nandita movie that working women are incapable of being mother or a good wife ? LOL . Seriously and normalize periods and stop showing it as a special thing to crave sympathy for. Women are winning over the world with it and a husband really doesn't need to keep his job behind to take care of his BABY wife for preparing hot bag who has apparently left her job to enjoy motherhood and dancing on top of her husband with nags and rants. All three daughters are settled as housewives basically and the daughter in law who is doing something on her own has been divorced.. What a regressive, outdated portrayal.

Not only the film I am obsessed with the song tapa tini. Previously, Rongoboti and now Tapa Tini added to the list. Besides, the film was superb. Hats off to the team.

I should have known that the actual storyline ended with Belaseshe. People can watch this movie without watching Belaseshe. A typical movie related to Alzheimer disease. Earlier there had been some movies on Alzheimer. You gain nothing except Soumitra and Swatilekha's acting.

I have not missed any of your films. Starting from Muktodhara to Gotro you have always set a benchmark . A tribute to soumitra sir and swatilekha ma'am . This film is a wonderful presentation of reality.

Superb potrayal of family emotions.. Well directed and executed. Acting of the actors was awesome. Sentimental and Soumitra Chattopaadhyay and swatidi were missed all through out.

Absolutely amazing movie. Each and everyone portrayed their characters perfectly. Personally, I felt the story could have been slightly better but otherwise everything was picture perfect.

This is not a film at all, it's very hard to watch till end. Nonexistent script, missing storyline, weak acting and lame dialogue juxtaposed together to show the current hollowness of Bengali film industry. It's a pain to watch and sad that this will be the last film by Soumitra. Shibu-Nandita were mediocre at best with their previous attempts, this is just a disaster!

This also lacks basic preliminary research about the Alzheimer's disease which is supposed to play a central role in the film by trivializing the disease and the struggle the patients and their families go through. Film maker should have honesty, sincerity and intention to work hard, and not resort to tricking audience.

Love knows no boundary, love is beyond expectations, beyond measurement, it cannot be held tight or let loose the most heart piercing shot was when Swatilekha di said ami amar mayer kache jabo. Still giving goosebumps.

We should know where to stop . May be director duo forget this essential point. They made this sequel only for business . This is the last film of iconic Soumitra-Swatilekha pair. There is nothing that will impress the audience except the songs of the film and the outstanding performance of Soumitra-Swatilekha. The script and story of the film are very weak. The editing of the film is not crisp. Needless to say, the fascination that was created after watching 'Belasheshe' was ruined by 'Belashuru'. You should definitely watch this movie only for Soumita-Swatilekha .

This movie is all about LIFE! Not all movies has to end with a happy note, some has to bring forth the harsh reality too. Life is not a fantasy, neither is to fair to everyone, but still we hold on to it with a HOPE. Soumitra Babu and Sathilekha chemistry is so very authentic. A 2-3 min segement of Soumitra Babu and Rituparna Sengupta will give goosebumps. Kharaj Mukherjee, as hilarious as he is, is all about the colourful aspect of life. In short this movie is a true classic. A must watch.

God bless you Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy for such a masterpiece. I literally wait for your film. You both come with unique content. Belashuru iwill always be remembered specially for soumitra chatterjee and swatilekha sengupta.

I am speechless. A film which will remain in my hearts till i die. Will miss soumitra da and swatilekha dii a lot . May their soul rest in peace.

Hats off to the director. The execution was perfect.

Best movie I have seen in years . An emotional see saw in the garden of paradise . Loved it to the core . Please bring us more movies like this. Me and my wife thoroughly enjoyed every shot taken .

The duo on screen and the duo behind the camera have done a wonderful job. Directors can think of such a portrayal that itself is unimaginable. Congratulations to the whole team and thanks for such a beautiful film.

Awesome song. The song is one of a celebration. It celebrates family, love and relationships. This foot-tapping number will make you hit the dance floor A film came in full package.

When you talk about Soumitra Chatterjee the first thing which strikes the mind is an eternal actor. Throughout his career he has gifted the nation a lot more than we expected. Belashuru is the new beginning where his play was final. Will remain in our hearts forever.

Awesome acting. Mesmerized by the cinematography. Waiting for the next film eagerly. To all those newly married couples go and watch the film in theatre.

Best movie I have seen in years . An emotional see saw in the garden of paradise . Loved it to the core . Please bring us more movies like this. Touched my heart.

Firstly, my deepest condolences to Soumitra Sir and Swatilekha maam. They will remain in our hearts forever. From Belashesh to Belashuru they gave us a lot. Inspired by the concept and superbly executed.

No doubt in acting. Whether it's intense love or humor, each and every emotions is beautifully shown. We will definitely miss the two legends. Their contribution to bengali cinema will always remain eternal.
