Hello Remember Me: Hello, remember me? (2022)
A suspenseful lack of good writing.
Hello, remember me?, is the sequel to the popular hello franchise of Hoichoi. But don't get your hopes high! Its a poorly written and executed venture. This 8 episode series really lacks suspense. Characters are too easy for the situation. Not a single character gets a good character development. Malini is surrounded by a clingy ex and a toxic and extremely misogynistic husband. With patriarchal in laws as well, Malini does not even tries to help the situation! She remains the exact same person throughout the series. Apart from writing, the show lacks in some technical aspects as well. The direction is okayish and sometimes even weak. The colorist does some wonders but forgets it in between. The series seriously needed a good cinematography. Overall, a complete waste of time and I am extremely sorry to say that.
X = Prem (2022)
Any story is basically a thriller Khilat
Rating - 4.5/5 stars
X=Prem, directed by Srijit Mukherjee, revolves around the lives of Joyee (played by Shruti Das) and Khilat (played by Anindya) who have recently met with a fatal accident resulting in Khilat losing 10 years from his life. The film showcases their journey of getting back the memory.
Positives :
SRIJIT MUKHERJEE - After very long time I could finally see the Srijit I've always been the fan of! The magic that he has presented in this film is mesmerizing! Kudos to his flawless direction!
ACTING - Anindya and Shruti both are very promising debutantes! Didn't felt even for a second that its there first film or they're acting! All the very best for your future endeavors! Looking forward to see you guys in more projects! Apart from these two, Arjun who played Arnab dutta & Madhurima who played Aditi did absolute justice with the characters given. Even though they had a smaller screentime but they do impress you.
STORY - The writers and Svf should be applauded for bringing such content! One of the best stories! Congratulations to the writer/writers who wrote such an engaging script.
Cinematography - This film is just beautifully shot! I just love the camera work in this film. So aesthetic and well presented!
MUSIC - The best album of the decade straight away. I'm just out of words to describe how beautiful the songs of the film are! So well written, sung and used! Mind blowing job!
Negative :
THE SCIENCE - Though its explained and everything but somewhere its not much into consideration. What made them aware of such a process? And maybe 1-2 more questions are still unclear in your head.
OVERALL - A must must watch! And definitely not just a one time watch because you will fall in love with the film!
Aay Khuku Aay (2022)
An emotionally beautiful journey of a Father and Daughter
Aay khuku aay, directed by Souvik Kundo under the banner of Grassroot Entertainment is a tale of a father and daughter who comes from not a very economically stable household. Starring Ditipriya Roy as Shatabdi Mondal "Buri" and Prosenjit Chatterjee in a dual role as himself and "Buri's" father Nirmal da.
Positives -
Story and Screenplay : The story is not out of the box but definitely emotional and entertaining. Its simplicity is extremely soothing. Coming to the screenplay, its very smooth and is neither slow nor fast rather its of the perfect type. The first half is a joyride with full of heart warming scenes whereas the second half is a bit emotional and hard hitting.
Acting : Kudos to all the actors associated with the project! From leads to supporting actors everyone has done justice to the job they've been given. Prosenjit is flawless and effortless in playing both the roles. One of his finest performances. Ditipriya on the other hand is highly impressive! She is a shining star and radiates throughout the film. Rahul who plays "Sanjoy" is fine as well! He carries the character with ease.
Direction : Sauvik must get credit for the spectacular job he has done. The film doesn't deviates anywhere and focuses in one direction that is perfection! Sauvik manages to make sure there is no place for any technical issues. Hats off!
Cinematography : The film offers us some beautiful visuals. All these visuals are a proof of the cinematographer's deep knowledge of the nature and how to capture it in the righteous way possible! The village setting is beautifully captured! Very impressive!
Negative-
Under cooked Suspense : There is very little room for suspense in the second half maybe because you can somewhat predict what might happen though that doesn't disappoints because the film is successful in keeping us all entertained!
So overall, its a great watch!
Love Aaj Kal Porshu (2020)
A must watch romantic thriller! Not an ordinary love story!
This film was an absolute delight to watch! From storyline to acting everything was on point!
Positives -
STORY & SCREENPLAY : By far the best romantic thriller I have ever watched. The story delves into various levels of love. This is not a normal Love Story! Kudos to the writer!
ACTING : Madhumita, Arjun and Paoli never disappoint you! Madhumita being the debutant presented the best of her capabilities through her very first film. Arjun and Paoli were as usual amazing on their part.
CINEMATOGRAPHY : The film sets your mood with its wonderful cinematography. A lovely experience indeed.
DIRECTOR : Pratim does a great job as a director! Its a kind of film where you can not predict.
NEGATIVE -
CLIMAX (NOT COMPLETELY NEGATIVE) : So the climax was very fine BUT could've been better. It was quite an obvious climax. However again the climax had the power to leave you thinking about the movie forever. What if.... How... Why.... Whatever.... Yup these are the questions that will give thousands of answers. And that's the uniqueness of the film!
Uttoron (2022)
A fine tale of self love and breaking the societal norms
Plot - Newly wedded Parna suddenly goes through a change of events when her MMS is leaked. The series basically deals with the trauma and struggles after the video is out.
Positives -
MADHUMITA SARKAR. Nothing to describe here. Her name is enough.
STORY. Apparently the story is well researched and has a great understanding of the situation. The series knows where to start and end.
PRODUCTION DESIGN. Not the best but very appropriate. It fits perfectly into the circumstances and supports the storyline.
Negatives -
DIRECTION. There's a difference in a web series and a film. The way the series should've turned out it didn't turn that way. However its not bad but definitely improvements are necessary.
SCREENPLAY. Ideally the series could've ended in five episodes but because the development is slow it makes upto 7 episodes.
OVERALL :- A good social drama and should be seen by everyone. The series is not focusing on abuses or adult scenes. It focuses on its message till the end. And also the brilliant performance of Madhumita!
