REVIEW OF MAYURAKSHI ------------------------------------------- In this present world with work pressure and financial crisis, stress, hopelessness and insolation is becoming common in every family. Thus people started believing that the love and affection bondage between a son and his father is becoming a thing of past engulped by a mist of fog and creating a disparity. Mayurakshi is thus not only a story of relationship between a father (Soumitra Chatterjee as Sushovan) and his son (Prasenjit Chatterjee as Aryanil) but also about finding a missing person, #MAYURAKSHI. CASTING ---------------- Soumitra Chatterjee - Sushovan Prosenjit Chatterjee - Aryanil Indrani Halder - Sahana, Aryanil's friend Sudipta Chakraborty - Mallika, Housekeeper Gargee Roy Choudhury - Paromita STORY ----------- ● Firstly, the story deals with an intensely emotional relationship between a father and his son where Aryanil can't give time to his father since he is a busy and unsettled man in Chicago. On the other hand Sushovan, a brilliant former professor of History was suffering from a neural old-age disease including Dementia and Cognitive Dyafunction due to loneliness. ● Secondly, the story deals with the mystery of two questions - " Who is Mayurakshi and where does he/she lives? SONGS ------------ The music director, Debojyoti Misra had done a splendid job in designing music which perfectly matched with the plot of the film. ACTING ------------- The acting done by both the Chatterjees were nice. Sudipta had also done a good job. Indrani had the potential to do a better job. Gargee also had given a nice effort. CONCLUSION ---------------------- The film contains love, affection, loss, hopelessness, mystery and redemption. The film not only portrayed a story but also an art of truth which is relevant and can be relatable in this present generation. 》Whatever we want and whatever we get is just for a short span but whatever we give and whatever we get will be for a long span 》Bible says - " We are born from dust and we'll return to dust." The jealousness, the selfisness and the aggression what we have have today will ultimately end up getting mixed with the times of sand. ■ MORAL : You should always give respect to your parents as they are the only ones who understands you and always helps you without thinking about their own benifit. They will always be there for you whenever you need them. Thus in conclusion I, Sayan Chakrabarty is giving Atanu Ghosh's #MAYURAKSHI a verdict of 7.2 out of 10✌✌✌

REVIEW OF AMAZON OBHIJAAN ------------------------------------------------------ The story revolves around the year 1913 in Amazonia, the well known wild and dense forest in South America. The story is based on Adventure , Thrill, Suspense, Discovery, Humour, Love, Hatret, Loss and Sorrow. The story deals with the adventure and expedition of three explorers, the protagonist of "Chader Pahar", Shankar (Dev) , Marco Florian (David James) and Anya Florian (Svetlana Golokava) who wanted to discover the Golden city of Amazon , El-Dorado. It is the 100th production of SVF production house with a budget of 25 crores. HISTORY --------------- The story revolves around the year 1913 in Amazon Rainforest . It was the time just before the year of The First World War (1914-1918). The film showed a very good historical landscape of the Rubber plantation in Brazil that started in the year 1910 and is commonly known as "The First Rubber Boom" ( also known as "Minier-de-Oro-del-matho-Graso"). The movie also executed landscape of how the rich Merchants used to torture the local merchants. Beside El-Dorado ( the golden city) the film also showed some very good scenarios of cities such as Manaush, Santosh etc and lifestyles of tribes such as Mura, Tupi, Eyanomami etc. GRAPHICS DESIGN ------------------------------- According to me , the graphics (VFX) was not so good with respect to the budget of the film. Certain graphics making procedure were lacked especially while designing Anaconda, Butterflies and Crocodiles. Many stock footages were used in this movie. The Virgins of the Sun, the mythological women warriors of Amazonia are displayed well but I found during execution the director, Kamaleshwar Mukherjee had missed out something for which the VFX had lacked. SOUND EFFECTS AND MUSIC ------------------------------------------------ The sound effects of the jungle were very nice . I could feel the essence of the deadly Rainforest . But during the themed music of Amazon Obhijaan designed by Indraadip Dasgupta, I found a mordernised flavour of the themed music of the film "Chayamoy" directed by Haranath Chakraborty which was released on 2013. The ending song of the film, "Chol Naa Jai" sung by Arijit Singh was also nice. CINEMATOGRAPHY AND EDITING -------------------------------------------------------- The cinematographer, Soumik Halder had done a great work. I could feel the atmosphere of the dense and deadly forest . The underwater shots and the fighting scenes of Gold looters of Amazonia were awesome. But I found some scenes were cut by the director especially some of the fighting scenes between Shankar and Anaconda. The film editor Rabi Ranjan Maitra also showed his full potential for making of this film. The filters used in the film were appropriate with respect to the scenes of the dense Rainforest. CONCLUSION ----------------------- • We know how it feels to shoot continuously for 38 days in the water of Amazon with lots of mosquito roaming around and bitting you . • We know how tough it is to shoot at the deadly forests of Amazon where every step is dangerous and life risked if you don't have a proper guidance. Thus in conclusion , I liked the movie. The movie is nor too good nor too bad. (Dev has improved his vocal skills.) One may say making a sequel of Chader Pahar is indirectly an insult to Bengal's one of the greatest writer Bibhutibhusan Bandopadhy but I believe we should try to taste different flavours rather than to be closed in a limited boundary. Thus if you want to experience the atmosphere dense forest of Amazon and witness something unbelievable in Bengali cinema, you should see this movie... Nice work Team Amazon Obhijaan!! 《 First film in Bengal to be released in 6 different languages like : Bengali, Hindi, Odia, Assamese, Tamil and Telugu.》 {An appreciateble work !! First bengali movie dared to shoot in Amazon Rainforest with full unit!!} (A must watch film with family this Winter) VERDICT : 6.2 👍

REVIEW ON GHARE & BAIRE ---------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION -------------------------- Amit, a Musician in Bangali Band, stops at his Bohemian dreams of making music in Kolkata and wants to open his own Resturant where there will be a Bangali atmosphere with Rabindra Sangeet sung by different Singers thus to exile himself to corporate slavery in Mumbai hoping to one day declare his feelings for his childhood best friend, Labonya. But unfortunately his grand plans are thrown out when, the unconventional Labonya under family pressure agrees to a traditional arranged marriage in Kolkata to an NRI Probashi Bangali from the US named Sam. Thus, this movie is about Love, Passion, Friendship, Separation, Twist, Comedy and Determination. ACTOR / ACTRESS ------------------------------- 1) Jisshu Sengupta - Amit 2) Koel Mallick - Labonya 3) Joy Sengupta - Sam 4) Aparajita Adhya - Labonya's friend 5) Bishwanath Basu - Amit's companion ACTING ------------- The acting done by all the charecters was good but during dubbing there was too many mistakes at the starting of the film. According to me Jisshu had the potential to do much better acting in this film. MUSIC ----------- The songs sung by Anupam Ray and Lagnajita Chakraborty were very nice. Music director Savvy also crooned one of the numbers from the film composed by him. 1) Tara khoshe pore: It’s a really intimate song composed on an acoustic guitar. It’s a classic film song for the hero and the heroine. In the film they are playing the song for the audience, but actually they are saying the words to each other. This is a soft romantic duet that Monali (Thakur) and Anupam Ray have sung. 2) Tui ki kore dili : The song is about a guy falling madly, and hopelessly, in love with a girl. It has an upbeat, peppy vibe that goes perfectly with the pop soundtrack. Tui ki kore dili is a fun love song, and it talks about the way a girl has made an impact on this guy’s life. 3) Hridoyer rong: This is a sad song which sees Lagnajita and Anupam coming together again after Bawshonto eshe gechhe. The song features an electric guitar and a dhol-tabla, which is an uncommon combination. The electric guitar has been played in a new age manner, while the dhol-tabla has gone the traditional way. DIRECTION ------------------- After seeing Bibaho Diaries according to me, Mainak Bhaumik could do much better in this film. CONCLUSION AND VERDICT ----------------------------------------------- Mainak is no doubt one of the best Bengali filmmakers when it comes to romcoms. His previous film Bibaho Diaries was a hit among the young moviegoers and his excellent style of storytelling is what the audience will expect from Ghare And Baire as well. Thus after seeing this movie I am giving a verdict of 6.3 out of 10 to Mainak Bhaumik's Ghare & Baire ... A worth to watch movie especially for the teen agers...✌
