Me Movies More

Last year, I watched the Marathi film Zombivli and began to wonder why Bengali filmmakers had not explored the zombie genre. To my surprise, I discovered a Bengali film called "Zombiesthaan" just a few days later. I was astonished when I learned that this film, directed by Abhirup Ghosh, was made even earlier than Zombivli Synopsis The movie starts with a post-apocalyptic 2030 when a biochemical weapon has turned most people into zombies, leaving quite a few like our protagonist Akira, a young woman trying to survive. Her run from zombies leads her to a man called Anil, who saves her. An apparently relieved Akira slowly discovers she is in grave danger, as Anil reveals his twisted, sadistic side and intentions. She manages to escape and is captured by a violent group of human beings to be led to a mini-kingdom under Raja Haridas. Haridas, a dictator, leads a group of violent and unruly men, captures women and enslaves them. He also captures zombies for the heinous purposes of...

As a Bengali kid, I remember eagerly awaiting the annual children's special edition of the magazine Anandamela . It featured stories of our favourite characters created by renowned authors. One such character was Kakababu , created by Sunil Gangopadhyay . When Srijit Mukherji brought Kakababu to the big screen, everyone was thrilled. "Yeti Obhijaan" is Mukherji's second film featuring this character, adapted from the story "Pahar Churay Atonko." Synopsis The disappearance of a celebrated mountaineer prompts Raja Roy Chowdhury , known as Kakababu, and his nephew and assistant, Shantu , to investigate the situation at the Gorokhshep Plateau . With the help of a Nepalese police officer, Jung Bahadur Rana , they uncover serious illegal activities. However, their investigation reveals more than they expected, as they also plan to encounter the local legend of the Snowman, or Yeti . Review and Significance The Snowman, referred to as Yeti by locals, is a legend ...

The #BlogchatterA2Z challenge is becoming increasingly difficult as I searched for a Bengali movie that starts with the letter X. Just when I was about to lose hope, I discovered a film directed by Srijit Mukherji , titled "X=Prem," which I had never heard of before. I am truly grateful to director Srijit Mukherji for this find, as it provided me with the movie I will be reviewing today. Synopsis Khilat has lost the most valuable ten years of his memory due to an accident that occurred while he was driving with his fiancée, Joyee . As a result, he cannot remember any of his academic skills or achievements, which would help him secure a job. Even his romantic memories with Joyi have been erased from his mind, despite her best efforts to help him recall the beautiful moments they created together.  Khilat consults Dr. Kaufman , who suggests that he undergo a memory transplant. This procedure requires two donors: one individual with the same academic skills and achievements as ...

Here she comes! It's 6 o'clock and she just got up and now the first thing she will do is to try to find me at places that are unimaginable generally, like inside the cupboard, under the bed, but little will she notice that I am there at the usual place, her bedside table.  I won't budge because I enjoy playing this game of hide and seek with her. I feel justified in indulging in this mystery, knowing that no matter how angry she gets with me, she ultimately can't do without me. When she finally finds me, she lets out a sigh of relief, and I take pleasure in that realisation. It confirms for me that I am essential to her and that she can't live without me. I am there with her when she prepares her meals and when she reads her books. I stay by her side as she scrolls through her mobile phone or enjoys her favourite songs from the 90s. I accompany her during her walks and while she picks up her daughter from school.  Sometimes, she even gives me a cold bath, which I d...

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 ...
