If you like mystery, thriller and detective films then Prisoners is a great option.

Yet another Malayalam film that's mind blowing not just for direction and acting... it's for the out of box thought process and the passionate execution. If you love cinema don't miss it. This is the new age Post covid 19 film making. Lots to learn from this one of a kind film.

A long awaited watch ended in a void and lump in my throat. Nagarkirtan presents us with the stark reality that we witness every day in the streets,yet we suspend ourselves to disbelief. Kaushik Ganguly spins a tale of homosexuality in the most unnoticed circumstances. This is the first time I think I have watched another actor more than Ritwick Chakraborty on screen. Hats off to Riddhi Sengupta for the outstanding performance. The character of Puti will stay with me for a long long time. Directors like Ganguly still gives hope to bengali audience with such films and we feel proud as cinephiles. Yes, bengali cinema still has hope. Thanks to such films that are made once in a while. I wish Rituparna Ghosh was alive to see the film. This film is a resonance to the insensitivity and indifference of the society towards transgenders and the homosexual community in the country. The kirtan as a backdrop expressing the angst of Mahaprabhu was such a subtle way of communication by the director and writer. Kudos for their research and execution. A brilliant film which can be watched multiple times for it's aesthetics and content. Bravo Mr. Ganguly and team!
