Bengali Review: 'Aparajita Tumi' is too familiar

New Delhi: Bengali cinema has come of age but a few more steps towards something new would not hurt. While on one hand they regularly dish out the commercial fare, they also pull out an occasional gem from the everyday and the common place. However, when it comes to relationships – as experimental and bold Bengali movies have tried to be – they are still a tad bit stereotypical and predictable.
‘Aparajita Tumi’ is no different. The basic premise of the movie rests on these multifarious relationships mostly involving love, a dying love story, a love story that is long over and then some lust. Based on Sunil Gangopadhyay’s novel - 'Dui Nari Hate Tarabari' – ‘Aparajita Tumi’ literally translated to ‘The unvanquished’ is about situations all too familiar to make the movie a masterpiece.
Review: 'Heartbreaker' is predictable

New Delhi: The 2010 French rom-com 'Heartbreaker' finally reached India with really bad dubbing. All the witty French puns are probably at the bottom of the sea in Monaco and all we are stuck with is a 'done to death' predictable love story. The dubbed version seems to have lost all the wit.
Rumour has it that 2012 Bollywood film 'Jodi Breakers' is a copy of this film’s plot – lets just hope Bollywood comes up with something a tad bit more innovative - kitschy, brazen, bizarre, don't care – but something innovative.

Review: 'Sadda Adda' is a pleasant surprise

New Delhi: One will walk in expecting a sex-comedy of sorts after they take a look at the poster of ‘Sadda Adda’. But be prepared to be pleasantly surprised!
The movie is a decent amount of fun. Yes, the actors are new and inexperienced, some sequences in the movie are unnecessary – but the situations director and writer Muazzam Beg brings to screen in ‘Sadda Adda’ – are very real.
