"Y"eti Obhijaan Bengali Movie Review #BlogchatterA2Z

By

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 well-known in Nepal's mountainous region. Many people claim to have seen gigantic creatures roaming the snowy mountains of Nepal. The film "Yeti Obhijaan" is primarily inspired by this fable.

However, this film is the weakest of all the Kakababu films directed by Srijit Mukherji. While the premise of the story is interesting, the presentation lacks the depth needed to convey the serious encounters and the perilous environment that the team faces during their journey. As a result, the film feels somewhat lacklustre, culminating in a messy ending. Although the original story also had an abrupt climax, it was a masterpiece due to its vivid depiction of the thrilling adventure experienced by the characters. Unfortunately, the film fails to capture that same level of interest.

The performances of all the characters are convincing. Prasenjit Chatterji successfully embodies the charm, gravity, and subtle humour of Kakababu throughout his portrayal. Aryaan Bhowmick shines as Shantu, bringing a cute appeal to the role. Jishhu Sengupta also delivers a commendable performance as Jung Bahadur Rana.

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...

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...

"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...
