Anuranan: Review

Hmm, after much "yes" & "no", much hype, much speculation, I finally got to watch this movie, on the sole request & pressure of my good friend Rituparna (not the actress in this movie, mind it).

First time, being a critic, so, please don't be too harsh on my judgments, though I'll hardly stress on the inner aspects of the movie.

The 1st part, based on London, UK, portrays Rahul Bose & Rituparna Sengupta to be a happily married couple, childless, as Rituparna has had a miss-carriage, and, can't enjoy motherhood biologically, but, the reason is vague, nevertheless, doesn't draw too much attention to it. Rahul gets a promotion & transferred Kolkata, where, he'll supervise a construction project on the behalf of the company.

Part 2: Kolkata.....

Now, comes, the real part, as we are shown that Rahul & Rituparna get to know another couple, played by Rajat Kapur & his wife, Raima Sen, Rajat already being familiar to the former couple, as they'd previously met in London.

Circumstances lead to us getting the picture as the 2 families becoming close. Then, one day, Mr.Rahul Chatterjee has to go to Bagdogra. While Rajat is away, Raima, in a mood to overcome the melancholy, reaches Bagdogra herself without the knowledge of her husband.

She & Rahul stay in the same hotel (or whatever it is), not, in the same room, of course (Bengali movies are too predictable on that area), anyways, next day, Raima finds Rahul dead & the whole blame falls on her, she falls victim to misjudgments (which is quite natural) & people treating her as if she's a well, not, a prostritute, but, something close to that. Her husband shuns her too, she tries to commit suicide by slashing her wrists, fails miserably, lands up in a hospital, but, Rituparna forgives her, as she is the only person who could truly understand her inner soul, unlike the others.


Part 3: Mwahaha, this is the best part (that's entirely to me):

Screenplay, at times, is horribly bad, songs aren't too touching, completely at a loss to magnify the intensity.

I may be deaf...but, there's a scene in which the word spoken is "ashoon ashoon", I heard, well, forget it. Lol.....

I thought Rituparna's voice sounded a little too squeaky at times, just like a bird chirping, thank God, I don't have to face her in real life, otherwise, there would have serious problems with my tympanic membrane (its a hearing apparatus in our ears for all you non-biology readers).

Every character in this movie uses a Motorola mobile (may be, Motorola's sells have plunged down, so, this is their new strategy, don't know for sure, have to investigate into the matter), also, same is for Reebok, I think Rahul & Rajat have been made the brand ambassadors (kindly check in http://www.google.com/).

Oh....did I forget this? How the hell could I?? Damn me!!

The very last scene, imagine this, Rahul Bose meditating on the top of some goddmaned mountain.
My interpretation (surely, you can't deny this): He fooled everyone by framing his own death, I think, lost interest in his wife, so, decided to shift base into the Himalayas & become a sage.
An enitirely new concept for people who wanna avoid the hassles of divorce. (Lmao).

So, my advice, to all those facing marital problems (without the slightest ray of light of that being mended), try it out, but, you can choose some other place, because, otherwise, there would be too many "false" sages in the Himalayas..hahahaha.


Anyways, I'd an absoultely blasting & rocking time with Rituparna & Rupsha (at one point of time, Ritu was so frustrated & angry with my continuous jokes & "live commentaries", as I like to call them, she was threatening to throw me out of the hall by "reporting abuse", obviously which means she's been doing a lot of Orkut recently).

It was the 1st Bengali movie I watched after more than a decade, I liked it, would give it a umm....6 out of 10.
