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.

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

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