    A Poor Mega Serial Adaptation of a Classic

    This film is based on #BuddhadebGuha's famous novel of the same name, which depicts an unusual love story rekindling between handsome Abhiroop and chubby Damayanti aka Babli on their car-ride from Imphal ( Manipur ) to Dimapur ( Nagaland ). But Babli started to feel vulnerable after knowing that her air hostess friend Jhuma is also attracted to Abhiroop.

    The screenplay and direction by #RajChakraborty is brilliant. He is true to his craft and his narrative style is simple and linear.

    The dialogues by #SouvikBhattacharya is engaging.

    #ManasGanguly being the cinematographer steals the show by adding grandeur to the frames of the North-Eastern beauty.

    #SanglapBhowmik's editing is poorest to the core, dragging the film extensively by 20 minutes.

    Music Director #IndradeepDasgupta couldn't deliver a worth-remembering music this time.

    As per the performances are concerned, #AbirChatterjee as Abhiroop was brilliant. He looked handsome and charming. #SubhashreeGanguly as Damayanti alias Babli was superb too. Her character has got lot of undertones and shades of complexities which she has ably pulled off. #SauraseniMaitra as the air-hostess Jhuma Bose lent great support. #SohiniSengupta as Babli's aunt was nice in her special appearance, but she has got nothing to do much. #KoushikSen as Nimesh Kaka was good along with #ReshmiSen as Nimesh Kaka's wife. #SandipBhattacharya as the author was good too in his special appearance.

    Production by #RajChakrabortyEntertainmentProductions and producers Raj Chakraborty & Subhasree Ganguly have made a average film.

    Definitely its a One-Time Watch.

    It was an intriguing experience.

    I watched Babli on August 25, 2024, with two friends, and it was an intriguing experience. The film, directed by Raj Chakrabarty and starring Subhashree Ganguly, explores the challenges of body image and self-esteem through the journey of Babli, a plus-size woman navigating societal pressures and personal insecurities.

    The character development was strong, particularly in Babli's relationship with Abhirup (Abir Chatterjee), showcasing genuine chemistry. The stunning visuals, especially the picturesque landscapes of Manipur and Nagaland, added to the film's charm. While some characters felt underdeveloped, the overall narrative was engaging and heartfelt.

    Babli effectively combines romance and drama, making it a worthwhile watch for those interested in stories about self-acceptance and love.
