"S" hotyi Bole Shotyi Kichu Nei Bengali Movie Review #BlogchatterA2Z

By

"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.

In his mind, Brajeswar envisions a scenario where the guests at his birthday party become individual jurors to form a jury that will ultimately reach a unanimous verdict in the case. 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 virtues they typically present to the world.

His inner world leads him to create a make-believe situation where the people present at his birthday party turn to individual jurors to form a jury who will ultimately come to a unanimous decision in the case. During the trial, each character comes out with their opinion, which is heavily influenced by their inner demons and personal vices. 

What follows throughout the film is the real face of every character, under the facade of goodness, discipline and other virtues they mask themselves with. 

Review & Significance

Frankly, "Shotyi Bole Shotyi Kichu Nei" is a complex movie that demands viewers follow the story without judgment. The heightened emotions- or lack thereof—exhibited by each character are influenced by their personal experiences. The film highlights the contrasting perspectives of two strong characters: Brajeswar, a judge, and Dhiman, an economist. Both are friends and hold respected positions in their respective fields, but they embody very different outlooks on life. 

Dhiman, despite his polished exterior, respects everyone and is compassionate, while Brajeswar shows little regard for others and seems to operate from a narcissistic standpoint to assert his superiority. The film eventually reveals the reasons behind Brajeswar's behaviour and obsession with a particular case. The sudden twists help the audience understand what drives each character's beliefs and actions.

The settings where the characters appear also change frequently, ranging from a forest to a beach, and at times even an empty flyover. 

Overall, "Shotyi Bole Shotyi Kichu Nei" is both a visual and mental treat for those who appreciate complex psychological dramas. The performances from the entire cast are outstanding, particularly those of Parambrata Chattopadhyay and Kaushik Ganguly. Ganguly, in particular, expertly portrays Brajeswar's explosive anger when faced with disagreement and effectively showcases his narcissistic tendencies.

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

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...

Top 5 Films Based on Communal/Civil Wars and Internal Feuds

A couple of days back I watched a film, only to get a headache and I forgot its name too. But still, I watched it, some people won't change. Will they? Like nations in continuous wars and internal feuds -God knows what they get out of it. War has not done good for anyone ever. While their purpose is best known to them, my purpose as a cinema lover is to create a list of films that cover topics of Communal/Civil war and internal feuds:   1. The Killing Fields: I had no idea about the history of Cambodia, till I watched this 1984 film, during my mid-twenties. A nation that was absolutely devastated as a result of the killing of thousands of its citizens under the bloodthirsty Khmer Rouge reign - Killing Fields covered this history through the pen of a New York Times journalist and his Cambodian associate. The movie is difficult to watch due to the depiction of the horrid nature of the brutality that innocent people had to go through. Pran, the Cambodian journalist had to endeav...

Every year, before the onset of Durga Puja, readers of Bengali literature receive some precious gifts in the form of the Sharadiya Pujabarshiki (Yearly Literary Magazine). For the past 70 years or so, we have seen some outstanding works from the Creme' of Bengali literature like Samaresh Basu, Sunil Ganguly, Shirshendu Mukherjee, Ashapurna Devi and many others being published in these magazines for the first time. This trend continues; this year, too, my husband gifted me a few such magazines before Durga Puja. Kishore Bharati is one of the magazines I got and today I picked a story called "Vaijayantimala"  from that. for November's #TBRChallenge . About the Author: The author Bhaswar Chatterjee is a popular Film and Television actor who works predominantly in the Bengali Film Industry.
