A Hilarious experience

Warning: Spoilers
First of all, whenever I go to watch any Anjan Dutt film, some common elements keep revealing in my mind, I am habituated and well- adapted....like smart conversations, mind-boggling scenic beauty, some bong-calcuttans, more focusing on the topic sometimes ignoring detais, nice musics, natural acting and an unique cinematography.......all of these are surely present in this venture also....

Four young friends frustrated with their before-going lives initiate on a tour-company business that will give, as far as their concept, a homely atmosphere..So, in their 4-5 days venture with the tourists and a young attractive stranger, the story moves on..... As far as the acting is concerned, Sashwata Chatterjee steals the show having a unique piece of performance..specially in that "Amazing Grace" sequence...Rudranil gives another magnificent job...as well as Parambrata...their ar just marvellous...Ritwick is good, though his character is not seriously highlighted than the other three..also i like to mention performances of some notable actors like Barun Chanda, Churni and Arindam.....they are awesome.... The pivotal element is the fact that the film is a nice blending of small screen and film industry....actors of day-to-day bengali TV-soaps play some important contribution in that film.... But the film still lacks some minor detals specially in the sudden turn-over of the characters in the flash-back mood and the repeatation of some not-so-important sequences.....though i think that is just a minor fault....the film has a beautiful climax....with nice sound-track from composer Neel Dutt through the entire film.....some exhilarating North Bengal beauty and mostly some natural comedy that was once found at the "gold mine" of old bengali jewels.....and a re-touch of the Satyajit Ray spirit..The reason? you will surely realize if you see this film...

In a nutshell, a must watchable film if you are a serious Indian film-fanatic.......

Execellent Script
souravray-kol3 January 2011
When even I watch anjan dutta's movies or telefilms.One thing always knock mind is excellent script and spontaneous dialogues as well as smart music.Chalo lets go is one of his modern smart movies where he explain human nature when he met around in a trip.All characters in this movie are basically trying to discover their life.Its the movie how they finally discover their life from a trip. the film has a beautiful climax....with nice sound-track from composer Neel Dutt through the entire film.....some exhilarating North Bengal beauty and mostly some natural comedy that was once found at the "gold mine" of old bengali jewels.....and a re-touch of the Satyajit Ray spirit..The reason? you will surely realize if you see this film.

Quite Disappointing
pcsarkar7 March 2013
A gaggle of strangers with personal ghosts traveling together in a tourist bus.. reminds one of Reema Kagti's Honeymoon Travels. right? I have great regard for Anjan Dutta. I love his cinematographic treatments and I love his baritone country voice resembling Mel McDaniel. I was looking for the usual treatment here, but was mildly disappointed. I was also looking forward to being treated to the lush visuals of Kalimpong, Darjeeling and the lazily flowing Teesta, as one winds his way up to the Queen of Hill stations. Again, I was sorely disappointed. Heck.. the locale was just too good to be wasted away this way.

The characters in the movie are shallow and full of attitude. The scenery is boring, static and repetitive, and the whole film appears to have been shot on a shoestring budget. There is no plot at all, and if one considers random conversations between strangers as a plot.. well.. what can I say. And yeah, there is nothing "hilarious" in this movie, as one reviewer has described. Excepting the chemistry professor's pedantic rantings, there are hardly any amusing lines or situations here. The only redeeming feature appears to be Neel's soulful title song.

Quite disappointing otherwise.
