It took me some time to find a Bengali film that starts with the letter "W." After numerous unsuccessful searches, I remembered watching a Bengali web series called "Water Bottle," which is fortunately available in movie format on YouTube. Directed by Tathagata Mukherji, "Water Bottle" is a psychological thriller. Synopsis The story begins with a chilling prologue by the notorious serial killer Ted Bundy : "We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere. And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow." This sets the stage for the viewer’s journey into the world of Jyotileswar , a serial killer who has cold-bloodedly murdered six children and takes pride in his actions. In fact, he even invites a writer to document the details of his killings. The investigation is led by Mriganko , an eccentric yet brilliant cop, along with Subho , a newcomer in the police force, from a well-known political family. Together, they ...

The letter V is tough to find in use in the Bengali language, as we don't pronounce V at all. So any word that starts with V is either pronounced as B or Bh in some cases. However, there is one prominent film by Srijit Mukherjee called "Vinci Da" and I am going to review it today for the 22nd day of the #Blogchattera2z challenge. Synopsis A brilliant and eccentric makeup artist, mockingly called Vinci Da due to his love for Da Vinci's art, finds solace in creating makeup for local club dramas. One day, he is visited by a strange man named Adi Bose , who offers him the opportunity of a lifetime: to create realistic masks of random people. Unaware of the true purpose behind this unusual assignment, Vinci Da dedicates himself fully to crafting the masks. However, he soon discovers that he is in grave danger. Adi Bose is actually a dangerous serial killer who uses the lookalike masks to impersonate corrupt individuals, committing heinous crimes while framing them ...

Directed by Rituparno Ghosh , Utsab is the story of a joint family get-together during Durga Puja. I have chosen to review it for my 21st day of #BlogchatterA2Z journey. Synopsis Bhagabati's family has come together to celebrate their ancestral Durga Puja, a tradition that has been upheld for generations. Her two sons, Asit and Nishith , along with their two wives, her two daughters, one son-in-law, and three grandchildren, all gather for the festivities. However, due to difficulties in maintaining the ancestral house, they decided to sell it to a well-known builder named Shishir , a decision that all the brothers agreed upon. The elder daughter, Parul , opposes selling the house to this particular builder, while the younger daughter remains distant from the discussions. The film is set against a simple backdrop and focuses on each character's internal struggles and challenges. The revelations are subtle, flowing naturally with the story rather than being overly dramatic. Th...

Last year, three major Bengali films were released, and Srijit Mukherji's Tekka was one of them. It is a "never-seen-before" thriller that captivates audiences. Today, I have selected this film to review for my #BlogchatterA2Z challenge. Synopsis Iqlakh Alam is a janitor struggling to make ends meet. He has a son but cannot afford to provide him with a basic education due to a lack of funds. After being laid off from his job due to inappropriate behaviour, Iqlakh devises an unthinkable plan for revenge. He kidnaps a random schoolgirl and takes her to the office where he used to work. What unfolds next leaves everyone spellbound as two TV reporters secretly start filming the entire incident. What drives Iqlakh to commit such a shocking act against an innocent child? Is his motive solely the loss of his job, or is there something deeper behind his actions? Review and Significance In Bengali, "Tekka" means "challenge." The story follows a poor, jobless...

  Hi "P.S. I Love You" Let me be honest, I had watched the movie based on you, before reading you. Yes I was smitten by both the characters of Holly and Gerry, played by Gerard Butler and Hillary Swank ( I adore both as actors). But you, my love had taken my heart for being you. So even if there were no movies made, or  the movie was made with different actors, who I might have not taken a liking for, I still would have chosen you as my favourite. You are a class apart, an entire feeling that has no match. But you know what, I am still angry with you, why did you have to kill Gerry? Couldn't Gerry be saved or returned like soap operas! I still believe in miracles, and no matter how much angry I am with you, P.S. I Still Love You the Most. Warmly Jhilmil ( I would like you to address me with my pet name ) "I'm participating in the #TBRChallenge by Blogchatter"

"Ek Ruka Hua Faisla" is a landmark film directed by Basu Chatterji . With "Shottyi Bole Shotyi Kichu Nei" ," Srijit Mukherji has paid tribute to this classic movie. For today's #BlogchatterA2Z challenge, I have chosen to review this film. Synopsis Brajeswar Dutta is a renowned judge who is celebrating his birthday at home. However, amid the festivities, his mind is preoccupied with a murder case involving a 19-year-old boy who has killed his older brother and awaits trial, which is under Brajeswar's jurisdiction.

As the trial unfolds, each character reveals their opinions, heavily influenced by their inner demons and personal vices. Throughout the film, the true nature of each character emerges, exposing the reality behind the facade of goodness, discipline, and other v...
