"O" pen Tee Bioscope Bengali Movie Review #BlogchatterA2Z

By

There are very few coming-of-age dramas in Bengali films, and Anindya Chattopadhyay's "O"pen Tee Bioscope is a prominent example among them.

Synopsis

Phoara, a young boy, is expelled from his boarding school for fighting with the warden. His single mother, Boisakhi, brings him home to a cramped lane in North Kolkata. In this neighbourhood, Phoara befriends some local boys and joins a football training club run by Gopeswar Bhowmik. As he settles into this new life, he encounters various characters: true friends who are genuinely happy for him, his first love, and a teacher who encourages him to look beyond appearances. With their support, Phoara spends his youth pursuing his passion for football, ultimately growing up to become a renowned footballer.

Review and Significance

One might wonder why I have kept the synopsis of the film so brief. The reason is simple: it’s a film that must be experienced to be fully understood, as each character has their own story to tell. And there are plenty of these stories. Ridhi Sen delivers a convincing performance as Phoara, while Sudipta Chakraborty, in the role of his mother Boisakhi, continues to demonstrate her talent. In a brief yet impactful role, Aparajita Adhya captivates the audience as a mother who longs for her only son, who works abroad and has little time for his parents.

The scenes depicting the chaos caused by political goons and the local football matches feel very authentic. Several scenes and dialogues are particularly significant, as they encourage the liberation of young minds often constrained by the pressures of mediocrity surrounding them.

Overall, "Open Tee Bioscope" is an enjoyable film, enriched with great music that resonates with young viewers.

Mushy Mushrooms, Mini Macaroons & 5 Whodunnit Murder Mysteries to Watch on My Breakfast Plate

By

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...

Brenda Meets Ba & Bakul at the Beachy Bookstore #Blogchatterbloghop

"Myself Bakul from Baroda." A 30 something man approached Brenda. She was startled by the man's attire. She had never seen so many colours on a man before. She was left amused, "I am Brenda from New York." She could sense the man's nervousness. " You reporter?"  "Oh, yes, I work for the New York Flash." Brenda declared. The warm, cozy and colourful bookstore that they were in was very different from the usual ones. Situated by the sandy beach, it had a cafe, equally colourful. Even the books that adored the racks had been arranged in a rainbow themed pattern. Brenda quite liked the overall decor and theme. In fact she was planning to write about it in her next feature, when Bakul came. His outfit perfectly matched the cafe's overall theme. "Nice outfit." Brenda was not a pro at hiding her feelings. "Thanks, Ba's choice."  "Ba, is that your girlfriend?" "No no, grandmother." Suddenly the enti...

That Same Forest, That Same Fire #BlogchatterBloghop

Marc was looking at the remnants of what used to be his vast villa once. He could see clouds of smoke forming in certain places. It was still hot out there, with fire fragments flowing all over. In front of the gate was a huge pile of broken items- some turned to ashes and some half-broken. He could see something shining through the pile. He approached near to find a partially broken framed photograph. He picked it up to find one half of a picture of a beautiful 25-year-old woman with wavy blond hair and dreamy hazel eyes- his Lucy.  Fire - devastating, damaging & destructive! It has taken away all he has lived with for the last 5 years. Every object, every article, and every piece had been restoring Lucy's touch, her memories, and the feeling of her presence that brought life to all things inanimate. The garden where she grew her roses, the pool where she used to swim like a swan, all gulped by the deadly hunger of the forest fire!!  Tears rolled down the 55-year-old's ag...
