Featured reviews
Story is nice and to some extent, it also has a hint of innovation. But that's all. There is a part of sci-fi which was pathetically handled. There is fake romanticism everywhere which is far from reality. After certain time, the story looks boring and aimless. In addition to these, there are hell lot of creepy and cheesy dialogues which make things worse. After a certain time I was hoping it to end. Not expected from a director of this caliber. This took 2 hours of my life which is never going to come back.
Arjun Chakraborty and Shruti Das was good in acting. But Anindya Sen's (as Khilat) acting was going over the line again and again.

Rating - 4.5/5 stars
X=Prem, directed by Srijit Mukherjee, revolves around the lives of Joyee (played by Shruti Das) and Khilat (played by Anindya) who have recently met with a fatal accident resulting in Khilat losing 10 years from his life. The film showcases their journey of getting back the memory.
Positives :
SRIJIT MUKHERJEE - After very long time I could finally see the Srijit I've always been the fan of! The magic that he has presented in this film is mesmerizing! Kudos to his flawless direction!
ACTING - Anindya and Shruti both are very promising debutantes! Didn't felt even for a second that its there first film or they're acting! All the very best for your future endeavors! Looking forward to see you guys in more projects! Apart from these two, Arjun who played Arnab dutta & Madhurima who played Aditi did absolute justice with the characters given. Even though they had a smaller screentime but they do impress you.
STORY - The writers and Svf should be applauded for bringing such content! One of the best stories! Congratulations to the writer/writers who wrote such an engaging script.
Cinematography - This film is just beautifully shot! I just love the camera work in this film. So aesthetic and well presented!
MUSIC - The best album of the decade straight away. I'm just out of words to describe how beautiful the songs of the film are! So well written, sung and used! Mind blowing job!
Negative :
THE SCIENCE - Though its explained and everything but somewhere its not much into consideration. What made them aware of such a process? And maybe 1-2 more questions are still unclear in your head.
OVERALL - A must must watch! And definitely not just a one time watch because you will fall in love with the film!

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.

Watched X=Prem. Concept was really good. Loved the songs & all acted very well. What I didn't like is the conversations between the characters. It's too intellectual & quite repetitive for me. But, overall I liked the film.

This is a love letter to vintage Srijit Mukherjee and his passion to makes amazing film which he lacks in recent years .
The film is synonymous to passion ,have not seen such bold interpretation of love in Indian movies atleast. If Srijit Mukherji had a formidable budget he could match it to cult internation love stories .
Kudos for the braveness .
