Baishe Srabon

Writer-director Srijit Mukherjee's another masterpiece. Though this film is of the genre 'who-done-it' type thrillers, still there was enough drama and twists in the plot to keep you riveted to your seat. The film is a welcome change from the usual Indian musicals. Instead of stopping the pace of the movie, songs are used as background score and only used in parts in the movie. You have to purchase the soundtrack CD to listen to them in full. Excellent acting by veteran actor Prosenjit and special kudos to Goutam Ghosh for portrayal of the 'Hungryalist' poets of Kolkata of 50's. But Abhijit Pakrashi portrayed by Parambrata did not gel fit the requirements of brilliant and best inspector of Kolkata police department. He was a wimp who only can show anger in wrong places and flash his police badge to get undue advantages every now and then. In smaller roles Abir and Raima did excellent. Excellent music courtesy Anupam Roy. Bodhaditya Banerjee served justice with the scissors to match with the pace of the movie. Final Verdict - must watch!!

" Baise Srabon" ( 22nd Srabon) is Spell Bounding, Erratic, Obnoxious, Mind Crunching and Meaningful all in the right ways! From Direction to Editing, From Songs to Acting, from start to finish it keeps on changing its context! There is so much one can write about the movie, that every anecdote/every phrase/every adjective will fall short of praises! This movie has lot of apt literally influences which makes it all the more special! From the clue containing poetry of the eminent Bengali Poets to the right references of " hungry Movement" of 60's to establish the base of a character, everything is a master stroke.

And on top of it, there is Prasenit, one has to put this movie as a cross reference for Method acting in Indian Cinema. He is such a vibrant performer which is so easy on the eye that most of the time we tend to neglect his abilities! After " Autograph" I was really thinking what difference can he do with this role and he justified his abilities perfectly.

The next point of talk has to be Anupam Roy's Music! Spell Bounding! Each track is easy on the ear and is equally soulful and also meaningful! "Ekbar Bol, Gobheerey Jao and Ei Shrabon" are perfect examples of music blended with lyrical poetry! Any Blemishes! Yeah, some sub plots are unwanted! could have made the movie ten minutes shorter. Also Raima is wasted to an extend! LAstly, go watch this one! They don't make movies like that anymore! Nostalgia! aro gobheerey jao...........................

well, after watching a lot of Bengali movies, this film came as a pleasant surprise to me. Judging the film from its intensity, looks and specially MUSIC ,i would definitely say its a much better movie than some of the huge budget superhit bollywood films. The acting in this film has been good, but what steals your attention is the picturisation of the film. The film has a very good story line. Things to watch out for is the twist at the ending of the film apart from the macho unshaven Prosenjit using abusive language. But ,surely, once after watching the film you won't feel that you have been robbed of your time.

This is an amazing Bangla movie. This movie will keep you entertained from start to finish. There have been very few such movies in the history of Bengali movies.

Can't express my feelings about the movie. This one is a piece of gem. The every element of this movie is quite fabulous, fascinating and laudable, starting from direction, story, screenplay, dialogue, acting, music everything. The main plus point is the acting. Every character has played their role so naturally with the glimpse of being lived the character in real. The another plus point in this movie is its dialogue. Yeah, many slangs have been used in the movie but you can't complain because these abusive language made the movie more realistic. The dialogues are straight forward that it can reach upto the mass, which can be remembered for long time. The x-factor of the movie is its music. Every single song will touch your soul.
