Prem Tame

Super Movie. If ending were good it can make some difference.

Extremely underrated by regular movie-goers in search of stupid old love stories. This movie is the beginning of new-wave bengali rom-com. This is perhaps the first bengali rom-com where the Manic-Pixie-Dream-Girl trope has been given a character of flesh-and-blood like Summer of 500DoS. The backdrop being a Portuguese/Dutch colony of Chandernagore may also be a tribute to Vicky-Christina-Barcelona which matches with the nuances of the central characters in this movie thematically.

And the showstealer? Khogen, the mongrel.

This movie maturely handles the three types of love in Pablo's life. One that is conditional but settling, one that is unbounded but unsettling and one that is unbounded and unconditional .

Are you excited to see how it goes with Pablo?

Worst script. Music album is very good..but movie is very bad.

I watched this movie assuming that this director wouldn't do a substandard film...but this movie proves me wrong starting from the story, direction to acting everything is awful except cinematography.

This is one of those movies that clearly demonstrates how much the quality of Bengali movies have fallen over the years.

There's barely 30mins of story and that's not even uniformly spread out. The movie started as fast paced, and soon they ran out of story then the whole movie started dragging.

But there's a limit to how much you can drag without a story. So I guess the director gathered a team to brainstorm on what else can they do to lengthen the duration to 2 hours. Soon after the initial 45 minutes the movie changed into a sort of a tour guide of the historic places of Chandannagar. That went on for some time.

Once they ran out of the tourist spots, the movie started to become even more dragging. The director seemed absolutely clueless on how to spend the time.

And even if you somehow manage to drag on hoping for a climactic end, be warned, there is none.

So don't make the same mistake I did. Don't waste your time.

Bengali directors keep complaining that Tollywood is dying because the people don't support regional movies anymore, but that's absolutely not true. Directors like this the ones dragging the industry down.
