Manikbabur Megh

Yes...I have watched "Manikbabur Megh". I want to watch it again, and again...and again. This is a movie that proves that the language of cinema can be so powerful and strong, and yet so subtle and so poetic. The journey of an ordinary man in this materialistic world can make him quite lonely. His bonding with nature may appear misfit. Yet he walks alone, maintaining balance between duty and passion. Every aspect of the movie, e.g., direction, production, acting and cinematography is excellent. I shall remember Chandan Sen for his brilliant acting for the rest of my life. Every frame talks about something. The end is so beautiful...it can't be expressed in words.

The narrative of #TheCloudAndTheMan centers on Manik, who leads a mundane existence and is incredibly lonely. He follows the same schedule every single day. He seldom engages in a conversation with anyone except his friend Kali. After his father passes away, he suddenly feels as if he is being followed by a cloud. He is afraid at first, but he eventually bonds with the cloud and begins to communicate with it. Chandan Sen is a fantastic fit for the role of Manik. His disheveled appearance and body language speak volumes about his acting prowess. Anup Singh's excellent black-and-white cinematography captures every little aspect of Manik's house and place of employment. This film needs your love and support. Do watch it in theatres. Rating 3.5/5.
