Ratings and reviews

Having watched a Bangla film after years I was pleasantly surprised. The difference between Bollywood films which usually suffer from an overdose of masala, and a profound one was immediate and crystal. Master Craftsmanship at its best. Not a movie for the fun and frolic viewers but stuff for those who wish to experience bold against the current poetry on celluloid.

Loved this movie. Unique concept by Srijit and brilliant acting by Sushmita, Anjan, Rittwick And Jishu.

What a load of drivel! Srijit tries to be intellectual and falls flat on his face.
