Bengali Movie Reviews by Aritra Banerjee

Manik Babur Megh Movie Review by Aritra Banerjee | Film Companion Local

"Manik Babur Megh" defies conventional categorization, akin to Srijit Mukherji's Nirbak. It seamlessly transitions from slow cinema to thriller, comedy, and an unusual love story between a man and a cloud. With outstanding performances by Bratya Basu, Chandan Sen, and Devesh Roy Chowdhury, and beautifully staged scenes, it’s an experience for those who appreciate unconventional cinema.

Athhoi Movie Review by Aritra Banerjee | Arna Mukhopadhyay | Film Companion Local

"Athhoi" impresses with its performance, dark comedy, and clever parallels between Othello and Iago, enhanced by notable camerawork and stylization. However, it suffers from poorly established characters, unclear motivations, a vague backdrop, excessive theatricality, and a repetitive treatment, ultimately resulting in a poor adaptation. #Athhoi #ArnaMukhopadhyay #AnirbanBhattacharya Follow Us Onhttp://instagram.com/filmcompanionhttps://www.twitter.com/filmcompanion⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/filmcompanion⁠Find us on YouTube:⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanion⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanionSouth⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanionLocal⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ReviewsandMore.⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanionShorts

Boomerang Movie Review by Aritra Banerjee | Jeet | Rukmini Maitra | Film Companion Local

Boomerang stands out with its smart comedy and stellar performances from Sourav Das, Jeet, Kharaj Ambarish, Rajatava, and Shyamol Chakraborty. The graphics, action scenes, and sharp editing further enhance the film. However, Rukmini's performance disappoints, and the emotional aspects of the story fail to land effectively, detracting from the overall impact. #Boomerang #Jeet #RukminiMaitra Follow Us Onhttp://instagram.com/filmcompanionhttps://www.twitter.com/filmcompanion⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/filmcompanion⁠Find us on YouTube:⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanion⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanionSouth⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanionLocal⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ReviewsandMore.⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanionShorts⁠

Ajogyo Movie Review by ​⁠Aritra Banerjee | Prosenjit Chatterjee, Rituparna Sengupta | Film Companion

Ajogyo shines with outstanding performances, excellent direction, memorable songs, and sharp dialogues. Gopi Bhagat’s cinematography is exceptional. However, the second half experiences a slight lag. Despite this minor flaw, the film remains compelling and engaging, making it a noteworthy addition to contemporary cinema. #ProsenjitChatterjee #RituparnaSengupta Follow Us Onhttp://instagram.com/filmcompanionhttps://www.twitter.com/filmcompanion⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/filmcompanion⁠Find us on YouTube:⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanion⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanionSouth⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanionLocal⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ReviewsandMore.⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FilmCompanionShorts

Alaap Movie Review by Aritra Banerjee | Mimi Chakraborty | Abir Chatterjee | Film Companion Local

"Alaap" captures the essence of both classic romance and contemporary relationship dynamics, weaving together the nostalgia of old-school love stories with the complexities faced by modern couples.
