At about Mid 2008, Bangladesh went through this amazing Movie revival, Everyone literally couldn't wait for the release of this highly anticipated movie starring Chanchal and Farhana. I guess it really didn't live up to its expectations, at least to me.
To begin with the stories potential was completely lost, it was a one of a kind story but there wasn't really much of plot of character development going on. The movie was just a whole collection of one beautiful shot after another. Even though it was a love story there wasn't much of development there.
Now lets go to the good bits, the imagery and obscure dream sequence towards the end was amazing. To top it up and what has probably been the saving grace for the movie was the music. Yes Arnob's music can single handedly make yous it through this movie. the classic titles like 'jao pakhi' and shonar moina paki are still alive among the crowds.
Even then Monpura has proved a major movement for Bangldeshi Movie revival and has safely broken all records set by Bangladeshi movies in the last 50 years. This one's still going down in history. Good watch if you don't expect much

This movie didn't bored me even for a bit. Its authentic acting and flawless expression of every actor is really impressive. Best Romantic tragedy movie ever. Monpura can not be out of list of the best film in domestic film industry. Not to mention the four National Film award in Five category. Including the best film. It is also remade in Kolkata under the name ' Achin pakhi '.
This movie is undoubtedly one of the best movies in the history of Bangladeshi film industry. The story, the plot, the acting, and the cinematography were simply outstanding. This film depicts the cultural heritage of rural Bangladesh. It also highlights the social injustice that allows upper class people to exploit the poverty of the less fortunates. Certainly, love does not require any possession and it can unite two people unconditionally forever - this movie shows that truth from the rural Bangladeshi point of view.
Just like typical love story, there must be a tragic. In here, we are also facing same baseline. Sweet love, climax and tragic turn point.
What make this move extraordinary is the dialogues , strong acting , location, sweet songs.
No weak point, For nice weekend relaxing time you can watch.

Before watching Monpura, i didn't expect a lot from it. I liked the music before the movie released. Music was fabulous. Arnob once again proved why he is considered as one of the most meritorious musicians in Banglandesh. I should tell something about the story of the movie. It was not that much memorable to me. But yes its making, sceneries were excellent. I recommend all the Bangladeshis to watch it and promote young generation to come forward for making good movies. Though there were enough room for the movie to improve it's story. Chanchal Chowdhury (as Sonai) seemed like he was acting in a drama. Farhana Mili (Pori) was mind blowing in her character. We are expecting better movies from the same director.
