While the execution may exhibit some rough edges, particularly in the non-romantic segments, the underlying idea and core message regarding the importance of our memories and past experiences are commendable.
Special recognition should be given to Srijit Mukherji, our esteemed 'First Boy' of the Bengali film industry, for envisioning and incorporating such an intriguing blend of romance and science fiction, seldom tried in our industry for your kind information.
I appreciate the portrayal of two distinct types of love through the experiences of two uniquely shaped couples...
One who has cherished every moment of their precious romance and is now yearning to reclaim fragments of their past to rejuvenate their priceless bond, while the other couple finds themselves in a more tragic situation. Despite sharing a bedroom and the same closet, their connection remains superficial, with their priorities, thoughts and feelings misaligned, leading to a perpetual struggle to 'get closer' in the truest sense of the word.
The writing effectively highlights this contrast among four individuals who, despite their stark differences in demeanour, are united by a common thread of connection, enriched by soothing songs, captivating score, and an enchanting monochromatic set-up that either threatens or promises a 'fresh start' for each one of them.
That said, I feel somewhat reserved about the climax. In the concluding moments, I believe a greater infusion of creativity could have enhanced the emotional impact, as the end resolution felt rather lacklustre in comparison to the broader context of the storyline.
