Another bengali cult movie by Aparna sen .... I was surprised at the climax..I really didn't expected such amazing ending.. the whole storytelling was like a fine wine...it's so smooth so subtle yet powerful...it provides a strong message to the society in a sarcastic way..the movie talks about the independence of Bangladesh , the crisis they face that time and all..it's a a classic movie...I'll say this movie is one of the best bengali movies I've ever seen...
Note : The 1st half of the movie is a bit slow but but I'll suggest you to patiently watch the movie..because the climax is worth remembering!
This movie is not for everyone, and its not as bad as the reviews suggests.. its not flawless and bit slow at some parts, but definitely worth a watch..
Positives first: 1) Beautiful cinematography. Film has beautifully captured the sense and sights of a period long gone past. 2) Performance of Paran Banerjee and Saswata - as authentic as it gets
That's about it. Overall, a waste of a evening - the much hyped feminist director Aparna Sen still fails to deliver on a setting so intimately known to her. The dialogues are run of the mill, Konkana's acting is like a jatra, missing genuineness, a most ordinary storyline with a highly nyaka 3rd half.
I had sworn I would watch this movie till the end no matter how bad - I kept my promise till 2 hours and 20 mins, and then gave up.

OK, I have read all 5 reviews (up to my writing) and found some disappointments from reviewers. But I've found more amusing things than errors which are more strong than these errors.
Although we have got a good numbers of spectacular movies from Aparna Sen and it's another. Yes, "Goynar Baksho" is a long story but she tried her best to represent all in 2.5hours. Because you must have to consider the tricks to grab "Audiences" of all classed and regions. May be she have some future plan about '71 liberation War (Just my assumption).
In a single word it's a complete movie with complete sense of making. Superb set, screenplay, cinematography. Most importantly dialogues. Just amazing. But I must say Konkona Sen Sharma acted 20% of her acting skill. I think a poor performance came from her in this movie. May be director could choose a different actress replacing Konkona who would be fit for this character.
Now telling something boring stuffs about Bangladeshi directors. More or less Aparna Sen had putted '71 plot here inside this movie and I should say it's a brave stuff, where Bangladeshi directors or film makers are not so interested to work with this beautiful plot (except some movies like Guerrilla, MeherNigar, Amar Bondhu Rashed and some other more). They just think complete war film with this plot. But I must say they can put this plot into commercial film like this "Goynar Baksho". Salute and thanks Aparna Sen to use this '71 plot.
At very end of my review, I'm thanking to the Director/Writer of this movie "not to let her(Somlata) go with that Rose hold poet lover". :)
