Matt Damon was perfect to be a large, strong & violent father looking for the real culprit for whom his little girl is suffering in a foreign jail. But nothing like that happened; the movie followed a different approach! Stillwater is actually a real gentle movie where Damon is a 'yes ma'am' type calm American father with an eagle tatoo on his arm & an unusual job to do for which he is not 'trustworthy'! And this thing srprised me!</p><p>Stillwater doesn't consist of any chase sequence, any thrilling fight, any masterful court room scenes; its different; it actually consists of a process to survive in a foreign land, to love someone from all the heart, to make ownself a better human from a 'fucked-up' being! And for this, I loved this work more than I should!</p><p>Stillwater never tried to become one of those light speed thrillers or a slow burner; it tried to become unique in its own way and there lies it's beauty.</p><p>Offcourse it is a long movie, offcourse it could have been less than two hours easily but still it is one of the most finely crafted, well acted movie I have come across this year. I adore the relationship between the little french girl Maya & Bill, I adore the simplicity, I adore how Stillwater shifted its focus so gently, and, I adore this movie...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Composed of three varieties of rectangular shapes, the design represents different countries, cultures and ways of thinking.

No word can do justice with this Anwar Rasheed directorial. A dreamy, psychedelic experience. A deep yet tricky comment on religion, belives and society. This movie can control your mind, your thought process! You will be lost in its appeal, in its visual, in its back ground score. Seductive and sensational. Fahadh Faasil gave his career best performance and showed that he is the finest actor of India, right now. Trance is so much more than a film. Only way to feel it is to watch it, if you haven't yet.

<b>REVIEW:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<b>๐ฎA mysterious island with its own rules - things are vanishing fast along with the memories linked with it, snow is falling restlessly and they, the Memory Police, are roaming to ensure & enforce the annihilation! Quite a nebulous, eerie and enchanting premise.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>๐ฆ The Memory Police is a very strange novel. It keeps changing its mood & motive. It is very hard to specify its genre. The novel is partly dystopian, partly sci-fi, partly political and partly philosophical sometimes.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>๐๏ธYoko Ogawa started this novel with the disappearances as focal theme. The plot was expanding and a 'what if' situation was building. In the midway it changes it's pace and turned more political with more focus on the aggression of memory police. The technical first part was more about the dimension of memory, outcome of disappearance with efforts to restore normalcy. But the sensible second part was more ironical. Ogawa played masterfully with the allegories. The novel portrayed serious themes as totalitarianism, police brutality and satirized the government laws. Originally written in 1994, it's uncanny to think its contemporaneity with today.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>๐Ogawa leaves a signature mark by her writting. Inspite of describing a horrible, chaotic situation, her writting is gentle, humble and subtle. Unlike the novel's heartbreaking appeal, there was always a tone of hope; as things continued to disappear, but life continued to go on.</b><b> The translatation by Stephen Snyder was absolutely apt. Never I felt reading a translation.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>๐๏ธThe character building also was uniquely brilliant. There were minimal characters, with no specific name like 'the oldman', 'the hatmaker' or with fractional names like 'R' or 'Don'. It was a masterstroke. This gives the storyline a dream like feeling. But the characters were absolutely deep. I found the old man character very profoundly made and adorable too. The mental state of the characters were masterfully described.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>โ๏ธThere was a 'novel within novel', as our novelist narrator was working on her new novel. That inner novel seems to be completely different and unconnected. But soon, you will realize that there is an invisible link. Lately the two stories somehow diluted in a magical way; that was one of the best moments of the novel!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>๐ฉIf this novel was only about memories and disappearances, I might not like it so much. But it is way beyond that. It handled some really serious issues; from aggressive authoritarianism, climate changing to freedom of speech, freedom of thinking. The issues are relatable to our day to day life. That's why it's a much more important novel. A brave one.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<b>๐All said and done. In a strange enchanting backdrop, the novel came with such issues which are easy to ignore but hard to discuss! A must read..</b><br />

<b style="font-size: small;"><i>Movie Review</i></b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i>Gulabo Sitabo by Shoojit Sircar</i></b></span><br />
<br />
<b>๐Starting with the traditional puppet show of Uttar Pradesh, Shoojit Sircar's latest directorial is a good old fable in the disguise of a modern satire.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>๐กGulabo Sitabo is a story of collision revolving around a century old haveli. The collision is between the stingy owner Mirza, his wife Fatima, the 'parasite' Baankey along with other tenants, the Archeological department & the law. But there is another collision flowing beneath the shadows of 'Fatima Mahal' - the collision of greed & dominance.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>๐Sircar is a character maker more than a film maker. His stories are usually mono dimensional, but the characters are unforgettable. But unlike his filmography, Gulabo Sitabo is little different. It has a solid, multi layered, thought provoking story inside. The characters are weird. Not a single character is actually loveable, they are ugly in their own way; but the film is immensely loveable, and there lies the success.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>๐กAmitbh Bachchan is in with one of his finest performance. You can't even imagine the film's existence without his legendary presence. Ayushmann is probably the only actor who can't be overshadow by Bachchan's dominance, he is as bright in this film as he is. Vijay Raaj is outstanding, what an underrated actor he is! Srishti Shrivastava, Bijendra Kala, Farrukh Jafar mange to give a phenomenal screen presence.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>๐Juhi Chaturvedi's script was brilliant. Shantanu Moitra's score was perfect for a satire like this. The set, costumes, production design - all are satisfying.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>๐กNot a single minute of this film was boring. Piku, October was very good, but I think Gulabo Sitabo is Sircar's finest. A subtle work of art which captures the purpose of human life and the wheel of karma. Must watch for multiple reasons.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>๐A song in this film summerizes the soul of Gulabo Sitabo - </b><br />
<b>"Kya leke aayo jaagme, kya lege jayega?"</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Sircar went leaving an unforgettable memory in this hard time!</b><br />

<u>REVIEW:</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
๐งฟLeila Tequila's body has been left in the dumpster after murder; her heart gave up but her mind was in transition from the day of her birth to the day of being murdered for another 10 minutes 38 seconds! Haven't come across such an original & intriguing premise for a long.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
๐Born into 'not a normal family', Leila's childhood was as normal as a Turkish muslim girl. An over fanatic father, an incoherent mother and an eerie aunt full of secret. Everything was quite fine untill her body & mind gained maturity.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Little did she yet understand that the end of childhood comes not when a childโs body changes with puberty, but when her mind is finally able to see her life through the eyes of an outsider."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐ Leila's interest towards western culture was growing and then a tragedy appeared. Not a sudden one, but a gradual one. Which finally lead Leila to left her conservative family & she ended up in Istanbul where generally all the soul with dreams use to end up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐ตEvery seconds after her heart stopped was bringing a plethora of memories, linked with a particular taste or fragrance. Everything was in front of her eye, clear & coherent. The memory exposed the story how she ended up in a brothel, how she found her five friends, how she met D/Ali; how she dreamt & how her dreams drained out inchmeal.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐งฟThe novel is absolutely muti dimensional. Firstly its a beautiful yet brutal poetry of dreams and memories. A heart broken story of the society's answer to a girl who dreamt to cross the border, to be something. It's not just Turkey, or the middle east, it's universal.</div>
<div>
Leila's father was the representative of the fundamentalist world, where women have been ill treated everytime, in their house or out of their house. Sometime a brothel, a hawk eyed society or a house with forced marriage not really meant any difference.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐ Shafak also highlighted the sexual violence of Turkey. Unfortunately she has to face legal enquiry for this. That's shame for the literature & humanity too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐The second part of the novel revolved around Leila's five friend. A Somalian victim of trafficking, a transgender, a Lebanese dwarf, a Mesopotamian singer - all four women and a man from Van, Leila's childhood friend. They had one thing in common - somehow they are more or less unnaturalโ & undesirable in the eyes of society. The novel portrayed a beautiful image of unconditional friendship. They all are strikingly different from each other, still they are most close to each other. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"They were more vulnerable on their own; together, they stronger."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐ทThe story was belong to the city Istanbul, as much as Leila. Elif Shafak showed her passion for the city through her magical writing. She imagined Istanbul as an โ..illusion. A magicianโs trick gone wrong.โ</div>
<div>
Sometime as a liquid city not yet solidified. She gave a feminine soul to Istanbul & ironically described how it have been humiliated by the phreneticness & violence.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐The novel handled the conflict of religion & modernity masterfully. We can experience Zayneb122 & Nostalgia Nalan's peaceful coexistence, one highly bigot & other one quite infidel. Also the 'Cemetry of Companionless' hold a special meaning, indicating the pain of solitariness.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐งฟD/Ali - an attractive artist character with an anti-fascist mind & comrade spirit & off course the love interest of Leila. His appearance indicate that even those with worst of fortune can feel the taste of love sometime.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐I am literally hypnotized by Elif Shafak's writting style. Her magical, mystic lyricism made this novel a magnum opus. The writing has a sedative effect, neonish glow & sensational appeal. Satisfying structure, intellectual storytelling & the depth of emotion made this novel other worldly beautiful.</div>
<div>
Actually apart from the main novel, the dedication part & the Thanksgiving part are equally magical.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"To the women of Istanbul, and the city of Istanbul, which is, and has always been, a she-city"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"After all, boundaries of the mind mean nothing for women who continue to sing songs of freedom under the moonlight..."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can sense it's brilliance just from these two lines.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐We can get some unforgettable characters here, Leila's eerie aunt, Leila's best friend Nostalgia Nalan & more. Character building & their motives were decent enough. Though I find Sinan's character building little weird, starting as a promising boy but finishing like a pretentious man.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐The Blue Betta fish summarize the focal theme of the novel. This indicated the singularity of life. In that magic realistic scene, the fish asked, "What took you so long?" - brings the concept of 'Maya' or 'Cosmic illusion' in front of the reader.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Her mother had once told her that childhood was a big, blue wave that lifted you up, carried you forth and, just when you thought it would last forever, vanished from sight. You could neither run after it nor bring it back. But the wave, before it disappeared, left a gift behind โ a conch shell on the shore. Inside the seashell were stored all the sounds of childhood."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
๐Not only childhood, all the sounds of a whole life stored in the brain of a dead body, in the memories of the near ones, in the bustle of this strange world. Beside everything, I find this novel as a memorandum of memories & transition of soul finding relevance of life. A brutal yet beautiful brilliance!</div>
<div>
<br />
MustRead, Full Five Star & infinity!</div>

<b><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>STALKER(1979) - ANDREI TARKOVSKY</i></b><br />
<br />
An unusual setting, a mysterious stalker, a forbidden area - 'The Zone', a professor & a writer, a journey to find the truth, a wheel of events, a drenched conclusion - A legendary filmmaker with his most complex work - 'Stalker'.<br />
<br />
Tarkovsky, one of the greatest filmmakers of Russia, loved to stay neutral & give audience an open ending cinema. His works are complex, tangled yet poetic, lyrical, spiritual and metaphysical.<br />
<br />
Stalker - the so called sci-fi drama is a slow paced poetry full of metaphors which is both weird and stunning, art at its best. Both time & patience is needed to understand this deep work of art. But as they said that you have to first feel a film, before understanding. It's really just beyond understanding, it's an otherworldly experience, you have to live it.<br />
<br />
So no individual interpretation matters here. You should experience this monumental work yourself and explain as you like. That's why Tarkovsky made it like that. As he used to say -<br />
"A book read by a thousand different people is a thousand different books."<br />
<br />
Still, I tried to interpret it in my own way. You could have absolutely different thinking, you should! And there lies it's legacy. So experience the film & then proceed further to check if we have any similarities of thoughts. Discussions are always thrilling!<br />
<br />
๐จ<b>COLORS & HUES</b>: Tarkovsky shoot 'The Zone' in vivid greenish colour but rest of the film in sepia. It was like our dreams. The real world seems to be full of despair but our fantasies are always colorful. Also, this serious contrast indicate that in the zone, there was no human to pollute the air, so it stayed colorful & full of green.<br />
<br />
๐<b>A JOURNEY</b>: As they said, journey is more beautiful than the destination.. 'Stalker' is a story of a journey. In the zone there was river, tunnel, desert, greenery. The revelation of human mind, intention & moral through a journey, where outcome doesn't matter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G47ztZGE-00/Xh6yXSbDURI/AAAAAAAAAv8/EzDkDs9FP7c9X8vovPBMgE8wElYSSAq6ACEwYBhgL/s1600/stalker-640x400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="640" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G47ztZGE-00/Xh6yXSbDURI/AAAAAAAAAv8/EzDkDs9FP7c9X8vovPBMgE8wElYSSAq6ACEwYBhgL/s320/stalker-640x400.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
๐ณ<b>HUMANITY</b>: Tarkovsky is famous for humanist theme in his film. We could see three characters; the professor - representing the logical part of human, the writer - representing the artistic & intellect part, and that mysterious stalker - the perplexed mind. They wanted to fulfill their wish, they wanted to reveal the truth. But both the logic & intellect failed to believe in miracle, they failed to enter in 'the room' (a mysterious room which can fulfill one's innermost wish). The doubted if there was any darkest of wish hiding in them. Through lots of philosophical talk, Tarkovsky unfolded the complexity of human mind, the depth of human desire but the lack of believe.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-botVisRRZ4s/Xh6yWbXIqVI/AAAAAAAAAvw/3-Os2xV069ER6pI2k7sg5z7SlnKfyQqLQCEwYBhgL/s1600/images%2B%252829%2529.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="457" data-original-width="671" height="217" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-botVisRRZ4s/Xh6yWbXIqVI/AAAAAAAAAvw/3-Os2xV069ER6pI2k7sg5z7SlnKfyQqLQCEwYBhgL/s320/images%2B%252829%2529.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
๐<b>FAITH & HOPE</b>: It was absolutely the central theme of this movie. To experience a miracle, you have to first believe it. We can see lack of believe lead the writer & professor to a unsuccessful journey. But the stalker has plethora of faith & respect in 'The zone' & 'The room'. At last he laments - "they are born to some purpose! That<br />
they 'have a calling'! For they live 'only once'! How can such ones believe in anything?............ And nobody believes. Not only those two. Nobody! Whom should I lead in there? Oh, God... And the most<br />
terrifying thing is ... that nobody needs it anymore. And nobody needs that Room. And all my efforts are worthless!"<br />
<br />
Also there was acts of hope. The stalker's wife said, "Itโs just such a fate, such a life, such us. And if there was no grief in our life,<br />
it would not be better, it would be worse. Because then there would be ... neither happiness, nor hope. Thatโs it."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xh4cRt6SpCI/Xh6yXN6u4TI/AAAAAAAAAv4/Wh8SdS-cJxoYk9u4oAwKbBIV7iEpU7TWgCEwYBhgL/s1600/images%2B%252832%2529.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="448" data-original-width="592" height="242" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xh4cRt6SpCI/Xh6yXN6u4TI/AAAAAAAAAv4/Wh8SdS-cJxoYk9u4oAwKbBIV7iEpU7TWgCEwYBhgL/s320/images%2B%252832%2529.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
โ<b>SPIRITUALITY & RELIGIOUS RELEVANCE</b>: In the film, the stalker was almost like a priest who was leading people to the Supreme & telling them to keep faith in God. In several scene the spiritual nature of the film is evident. From the picture of Jesus under water to those Christian cross like electric post - all are pointing same, as the believing in God is fading in front of technology & intellect!<br />
<br />
๐ด<b>UNPREDICTABILITY</b>: Surely there is not much turn & twist, it's an intense art house film, so it's unlikely. But it still so much unpredictable. You would always keep expecting something coming. A chilling mood was always intact. When you are expecting something fast, it's really slow then, and when you are ready for some slow moment, it's lighten fast there. Also it's genre is sci-fi, but don't expect any thing like typical sci-fi movies. There is no mind blowing concept, no hybrid technology & no extraterrestrial engagement. But still it's among the most significant sci-fi movies, you will understand after experiencing it.<br />
<br />
๐ฅ<b>THE ENDING</b>: 'Stalker' have an absolute bizarre ending scene where the abnormal child of stalker practicing 'telekinesis' with three glasses on table. It may be just because of the trains, as we saw in very first scene if the movie. But probably it's a deep metaphor indicating that what science & intellect can't do, believe alone can. And this is the most vital theme of this work of art.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5p1_gYFCTVs/Xh6yVT-NdNI/AAAAAAAAAv0/wbhSmgJkmxUIZC-1Re_GttAlMzBRaIJ8QCEwYBhgL/s1600/Stalker03-740x416.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="740" height="179" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5p1_gYFCTVs/Xh6yVT-NdNI/AAAAAAAAAv0/wbhSmgJkmxUIZC-1Re_GttAlMzBRaIJ8QCEwYBhgL/s320/Stalker03-740x416.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
๐<b>TRICKERY</b>: Now, at last, think what if 'The Zone' was nothing but a creation of the stalker himself, everything related to zone was only his fantasies & he did it because he wanted a place where everyone will obey him & he will be only one to know the place, kind of emperor! There were no fifth man to justify anything. Think about that dog. Where did it come from? Was it stalker's pet? In the last part the dog was behaving as stalker & his wife are familiar to him. Not impossible. That's why it's a masterpiece!<br />
<br />
โ<b>LEGACY</b>: There's a horrific side of the coin. The shooting place was a abandoned nuclear factory, so the lethal radiation summoned cancer in Tarkovsky & some other crew members, which ultimately lead to death. The film was shoot under extreme conditions. But the exceptional point was it predicted the sinister Chernobyl disaster 6 years before, astonishing! And now 'Stalker' is regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi art film.<br />
<br />
<br />
โด๏ธLet me know your personal thoughts about the masterpiece. Thank you.<br />

<br />
As the 2019 comes to its end, let's recall this beautiful year in the light of international releases. Big studios earned huge, awaited releases specially animations & super hero films scored massive. Beside box office, there were some brilliant film making too. Let's check them without further delay.<br />
<br />
<b><i>6. MARRIAGE STORY</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YXc97JSKE5U/Xf92OdHe_SI/AAAAAAAAAt0/gV5Y7a0mFegTUH3Z-OLN1q1lLOHAwzEhACEwYBhgL/s1600/images%2B%252827%2529.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="674" data-original-width="456" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YXc97JSKE5U/Xf92OdHe_SI/AAAAAAAAAt0/gV5Y7a0mFegTUH3Z-OLN1q1lLOHAwzEhACEwYBhgL/s320/images%2B%252827%2529.jpeg" width="216" /></a></i></b></div>
An emotional rollercoaster lead by some serious on screen acting. 'MARRIAGE STORY' is a half funny, half heartbreaking piece of cinema, which easily shows some complex things about relationship.<br />
<br />
<b><i>5. THE VANISHING</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vRPETlThlR4/Xf92ONmeLQI/AAAAAAAAAtw/u0OgpWQa0tQ6_SiCzl-RDIaaOigm2ZJAgCEwYBhgL/s1600/Vanishing_NoBill_4MB-600x889.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vRPETlThlR4/Xf92ONmeLQI/AAAAAAAAAtw/u0OgpWQa0tQ6_SiCzl-RDIaaOigm2ZJAgCEwYBhgL/s320/Vanishing_NoBill_4MB-600x889.jpg" width="215" /></a></i></b></div>
This almost unnoticed film is a fine melancholic piece of art which shows the transition of human mind out of greed. Based on century old true story of 'Flannan Isle Mystery', THE VANISHING is a psychological game. You should watch it. <a href="http://bodhisattwapalreview.blogspot.com/2019/01/movie-review-vanishing2019.html">[REVIEW]</a><br />

A methodical mix of Nordic Pagan folk cult, the horrific rituals, the stunningly beautiful setting, the imagery, allegory, the taboos, mystery, uneven tones - Ari Aster's <span style="color: #65729a;"><b>MIDSOMMER</b></span> is a brutally complex piece of art, Original, Chilling yet thought provoking! But overall it shows the eventuality of a relationship without care or love. And a mammoth work of feminism also! Go for it, obviously with a strong heart!<br />

<br />
Quite a healthy year for Bollywood, both in terms of box office profit and quality. Good remakes and true event based films performed really well. Without any long overture, let's check five finest films from this year.<br />
<br />
<b>5. <i>BATLA HOUSE</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Eb42W-QgyzI/XfkJ1ySp5fI/AAAAAAAAAs0/H-nymiqwGC8oYmBBqeOKF-JubmxGcJZfwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_20191217_223048.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="360" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Eb42W-QgyzI/XfkJ1ySp5fI/AAAAAAAAAs0/H-nymiqwGC8oYmBBqeOKF-JubmxGcJZfwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20191217_223048.JPG" width="240" /></a></i></b></div>
With perfect ratio of emotions & technical details, this John Abraham starrer is equally gripping and valuable as per the contemporary situation of nation!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4. <i>BADLA</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UMskti61QIk/XfkI-3IXDdI/AAAAAAAAAsk/if9LVINhqGgDv8g1-Mh_u7iPU4VZ54gkgCEwYBhgL/s1600/images%2B%252814%2529.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UMskti61QIk/XfkI-3IXDdI/AAAAAAAAAsk/if9LVINhqGgDv8g1-Mh_u7iPU4VZ54gkgCEwYBhgL/s320/images%2B%252814%2529.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div>
This official remake of Spanish film 'The Invisible Guest' is really thrilling, unpredictable and clever. What more you want? Badla is a perfect mystery thriller with several layers.<br />
<br />
<b><i>3. PHOTOGRAPH</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jwh37RTz3iM/XfkI_XTkwpI/AAAAAAAAAsk/dq_ywbKon680_BRCmN9aYFnR5DRXRuXNgCEwYBhgL/s1600/images%2B%252816%2529.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="650" data-original-width="472" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jwh37RTz3iM/XfkI_XTkwpI/AAAAAAAAAsk/dq_ywbKon680_BRCmN9aYFnR5DRXRuXNgCEwYBhgL/s320/images%2B%252816%2529.jpeg" width="232" /></a></div>
The director of 'Lunchbox' - Ritesh Batra came back with a heart wrenching masterpiece - Photograph. A melodious, poetic, tranquil, sentimental romantic drama with brilliant screen presence of Nawaz and Sanya.<br />
<br />
<b><i>2. SECTION 375</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mY9AKxjpASI/XfkJANO2ciI/AAAAAAAAAso/7RiNHQA8Hic8igTC9w_3SSp9kNVcqMDTwCEwYBhgL/s1600/images%2B%252817%2529.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="665" data-original-width="461" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mY9AKxjpASI/XfkJANO2ciI/AAAAAAAAAso/7RiNHQA8Hic8igTC9w_3SSp9kNVcqMDTwCEwYBhgL/s320/images%2B%252817%2529.jpeg" width="221" /></a></i></b></div>
Section 375 is truly an Un-Bollywood-ish court room drama. Unbiased flow, brilliant acting, superb editing, directions, change of perspective and straight forward approach made this less hyped film a memorable masterpiece!<br />
<br />
<b><i>And the film of the year is......</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>1. ARTICLE 15</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oG6xxAW-WeE/XfkJAQ0m_xI/AAAAAAAAAss/ocKu8ml_GYEwGJgNeAXgiIw16QT9EosNgCEwYBhgL/s1600/images%2B%252818%2529.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="666" data-original-width="461" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oG6xxAW-WeE/XfkJAQ0m_xI/AAAAAAAAAss/ocKu8ml_GYEwGJgNeAXgiIw16QT9EosNgCEwYBhgL/s320/images%2B%252818%2529.jpeg" width="221" /></a></i></b></div>
Another year, another bunch of film and another Ayushmann Khurrana film is on top! This Anubhav Sinha directorial is more than just a film. It's a mirror which reflects the bitter truth of society about which we hardly care about. A brave, powerful, top notch film making with dark undertones and huge relevance. A remarkable work of art!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Honourable Mentions: </b>From the inspiring 'Super 30', patriotic 'Uri', 'India's Most Wanted' to the modern comedy 'Lukka Chuppi' was among good films of the year!<br />
<br />
<b><i>That's it. These were my favorites from this wonderful 2019. Share yours too. I am eager to hear from you!</i></b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>REVIEW: Some stories are not really stories, they are testimonial of revolution, memorandum of unsung events. 'There's Gunpowder in the Air' is one of them.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It's really hard to describe this rare book. Don't be fooled by guessing it as a jail break story, it's far from it, as I said earlier, it's fire, blazing fire!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Manoranjan Byapari has an intensely tragic life story, you should know. It's unbelievable to think how he managed to write so much novels, with so much class! Or maybe his life events actually made him such a genius writer. He was the eye witness of the story he wrote. But still he manages to write a story with neutral point of view. He didn't express any hatred or support to anyone of the police, state or naxalite. Despite of witnessing everything, including the dark ones, he stayed polite & calm in his descriptions or at least pretended so. And another time, don't be fooled by its calmness, it's appeal is so aggressive, you can't just bear!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Byapari's literature talent was flourished by Mahasweta Devi, the legend. And her influences are evident everywhere. Byapari described the characters minutely, patiently but without any fabrication. Characters are raw, you can smell their rawness! He highlighted the poor characters (not just economically, but by fortune) more than the major ones. He created some unforgettable characters, from Bhojon, Bhogoban, Doctor to Bandagewala. So it is absolutely a character driven novel.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Byapari's writing made the jail a fully different thing unlike your expectations. It's like a different dimensional place, where there is it's own rules, people, king, politics & everything. The novel revolves around the thoughts of everyone in the jail. He showed that Naxalite is not just some group of boys, it's a suppressed gene, anyone, even without any comrade spirit, can turned naxal.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The writing style is brilliant. Without any fabrications, it's light allegory hits hard. Flow is so smooth. Writer keeps changing the pace of storytelling zero to that of light, without disturbing his readers, its a rare success. The last three chapters are like a melancholic poetry. No matter why you picked this book, you can't put it down for sure.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>All said and done. I know my review can't justify it's brilliance but I can ensure you that you haven't experience anything like it. For various reasons it's a must read. But just for one reason pick it - it's not like an ordinary fiction, it's monumental true story pointing towards a revolution that never really happened!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>And absolutely thanks to Mr Arunava Sinha for his brilliant translation and to bring this masterpiece in limelight & to make it an award favourite!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>OVERALL RATING: 5/5</b><br />

<div>
<b>REVIEW: There are plenty of thrilling, interesting historical fictions, but more 'fiction' & less 'historical'. On the other hand, there are a lot of well researched books, which are so accurate that failed to entertain. Truly, a well researched but page turner historical fiction is rare, very rare. The Serpent and the Eagle is one of them!</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Honestly, I had hardly any knowledge about the 'Mexico conquest by Spain event' - the topic upon which this work is based. So I was little afraid that it might not impress me. But my fear was washed away by the brilliance of Edward Rickford's writing. The mammoth research is evident. Every scenes are in details & every details are top notch. Still he keeps the plot so much interesting.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>The writing will catch your attention as soon as you progress. It flows like silk. The story telling is masterclass. Even if you know the actual happening and see the coming, you should pick this only for it's literary supremacy. The progression is multidimensional and the perspective keeps changing. Not a single of boring part included.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>The character building is another scope to praise. From the known characters to those hypotheticals, all of them will leave a deep impression for sure. The use of language is fluent. I found the Mayan Aztec references very interesting. The dark undertones were everywhere. You can feel the silence before a colonial storm. This work have all the quality of a decent literature. It will make you anticipated for the second part.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>So, if you love historical fiction or not, if you have interest towards Mexico-Spaniard war or you haven't heard anything about it, pick the book. It's more than these and what it pretends to be.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Overall Rating: 5/5</b></div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>REVIEW: Set in the capital Delhi, the novel zoomed into the lifestyle of crazy rich denizens. Charlie is one of them, who was 'playing' quite well untill the sudden series of hilarious events occurred! The event changes everything, the characters, colors, shadows & fate in the darker side of the city, where neon is only brightness!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Seductive, psychedelic, cool, funky, handsome, sarcastic, funny, humorous - still I can't describe this book. All I can say it's different, really different!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Don't expect a murder mystery thriller or a whodunit type of thing, this 197 pages long cracker is something unique. Firstly it's a really interesting subject. The author choose a completely different setting from his last year's brilliant 'The Brahmin'(<a href="http://bodhisattwapalreview.blogspot.com/2018/04/book-review-brahmin-by-ravi-shankar.html">REVIEW</a>). It's quite horrible to absorb the fact that the ultrarich of our capital is just living upon money, sex, drugs & parties. The author dealt with the matter very masterfully. You can get a superbly funny yet coherent look upon their lifestyle & culture. The novel mocks everywhere. The sentences are loaded with sarcasm & irony. The author started it from the title in fact. What a title! He 'trolled' almost all the politicians, police, film actors & practices quite genuinely. Brave attempt man! So it's really funny to inhale the ironies. The use of words from local slang to aristocrats brands were fine. But in course of trying something new, the experienced author didn't forget to add his typical magical writing here. The writing style is mesmerizing as expected.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The characters were also remarkable. Charlie & Mandy undoubtedly were perfect creation. But the author impresses with the side characters like Shamsher, Coke Rao, Nik, piggie everyone (not chow! I filled personally that the flow of that character was little unnatural & forced). Etteth's signature ability to match huge links is evident here also. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Amidst all the chaos & fun, I found a buried sadness, a melancholic overtone, when ever Charlie looked at the Mughal tomb or thought of Asha. Ravi did a fine job by changing the flavor. He quoted -</b><br />
<br />
<b>"Loneliness is neither the lack of a woman nor suddenly wishing you were elsewhere while standing on the deck of a cruise ship with a bimbette, who was invited purely on the merit of her magnificent as. Loneliness is not reading some poetry and getting an ache in your heart either. Loneliness is not even feeling out of place. Loneliness is not belonging to someone or somewhere. it is a nightclub singer with lung cancer. Or a pretty girl who steps into the car and is gone before you can even seen her face."</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Brilliant!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The author dealt with some social family taboo lately which was little disturbing for me. Apart from that, the novel was pure brilliance, still that part was also relevant.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Thus mixing multiple genres, the genius storyteller is back with a book, which is completely unique. Give your soul a funky twist with this mesmerizing entertainer.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>OVERALL RATING: 4/5</b><br />

<b>BLURB: In the other parts of the world when people fail, they gather themselves and try again; people around them encourage, motivate and inspire.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>However, in India if a person fails, he is considered incompetent, inadequate and unworthy. People around him disregard him as a loser and he is finished even before he could start.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>However, there are some โIndian Losersโ who refuse to give up.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>โAn Indian Loserโ is the story of one such boy.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Peeyush was the poster boy of the great Indian dream for his average middle class neighbourhood. His life was almost set - crack the IIT JEE, run away to a better city, find a great job and marry the girl of his dreams. However, by a strange stroke of bad luck he encounters an unexpected failure that turns his life upside down. As a result, for the first time in his life, he witnesses the abhorrence that Indians have towards failures.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>He runs away from his family, enrols in an average college course, joins politics and becomes arch political rival with his best friend. After years of unimaginable hardships, he is now desperate to make a success out of his political career. Finally, an opportunity arrives that can make up for the let-downs that he has faced in life. But, there is a price to pay. Will he take the plunge to win his old self back and become a winner again?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Read โAn Indian Loserโ to discover the unimaginable story of human resilience, grit and determination.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>REVIEW: "My aim in life is to be a doctor/ engineer" - that's a very common words of mouth of an Indian teenager taught by his/her parents & society actually. One hardly say he/she would be something else! And that's not unnatural, in our society, to be financially & socially stable, you have to be a doctor/engineer!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The debutante author Uzma Hameed satired in this book that what if an IIT aspirant somehow fail to pass board exam! Yes, he is lost.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A very very realistic plot! The author perfectly crafted the dreams and expectations of the middle class families. The main character Peeyush have no personal dream, he just want to glorify his parents. Everyone is watching him silently, but if he failed, none will say "it's OK" , instead everyone will compelled him to think "I am a loser!"</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Quite a sarcastic take on Indian society and educational system. The author created some very good characters. The flow, languages were decent. The book definitely have it's own charm. It's not boring at all. It also have some inspirational essence which can describe what success really is! A self help book lover can find this book very entertaining.</b><br />
<br />
<b>As a debutante, the author's effort is really appreciative! It could be more appropriate if the ending would little less dramatic & the book would 50 page lesser. I will also suggest the author to work with a book's production designing, like the book cover could be more attractive.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Anyway, as mention earlier, 'An Indian Loser' is an interesting ride which is equally entertaining, I will definitely suggest everyone to try this one time. Looking forward to the author's next! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>

<b><br /></b>
<b>REVIEW:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A single mother, living in a countryside rural town, noticed radical change in her son after some mysterious & disturbing events.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The premise is really promising. If you are bored after seeing a lot of logic less horror comedies, then this piece of art is for you.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I can't call Cronin's debut as most original & completely unique but I have to call it one of best horror films ever made.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Still it's unusual, not like the typical horror films available. It's dark, slow burning and artistic.</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2uuJz1_Bdmo/XGEBurhdP8I/AAAAAAAAAhQ/KcCUq57xMOkMuERVx2HjeBHWk5ivOYi8ACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20190211_094137.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2uuJz1_Bdmo/XGEBurhdP8I/AAAAAAAAAhQ/KcCUq57xMOkMuERVx2HjeBHWk5ivOYi8ACEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_20190211_094137.jpg" width="216" /></a></b></div>
<br />
<b>The film has two layers.</b><br />
<b>If you just want to enjoy a horror thriller, this is perfect. It's really scary, I mean very natural & consists some very original breathtaking moments. The cinematography always maintains a mysterious tone, one of the best cinematic treatment a horror film got. The setting is mysterious and a fear will always kept knocking on the door. A terrific screen presence from the cast, Seana is brilliant! The mix of ancient myth & modern horror was brilliant. The film always kept itself separate from others, avoiding all the nonsense horror film theories. The tension will embrace you, it will give you goosebumps but not leave you unsatisfying. It also has some loose end where audience got the scope to imagine it as per own.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>But if you want more than just horror, it's more prominent. The ironical overtone were everywhere. At last it's a film where the mother is disturbed by observing the changes of her son! I find the mysterious hole in the forest and the scar on her head similar, both's origin is unknown & the both are the source of some evil energy. The film showed how imposter can attack a guardian less family in the disguise of innocence. It's also a feminine milestone, where a single mother fought against all the odds and finally succeeded to see the light. The old psycho lady, the clone of Sarah in the underground, the mirrors, the narrow path amidst the dense forest - all are symbolic.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Thus THE HOLE IN THE GROUND is more than a horror brilliance, it's memorable. The soundtrack score by Stephen McKeon deserves separate mention for it's brilliance. So absolutely recommended, it's one of the finest outcome of its genre & Lee Cronin is a talent to look forward !!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>OVERALL RATING: 8/10</b><br />

<b>SHORTLISTED for 'The JCB PRIZE for Literature 2018'</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>LONGLISTED for 'DSC PRIZE 2019'</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
An astounding exploration of intense longings, Shubhangi Swarup's novel begins in the depths of the Andaman Sea, and follows geological and emotional faultlines through the Irrawaddy delta and the tourist-trap of Thamel, to end amidst the highest glaciers and passes of the Karakorams. The story sweeps through worlds and times that are inhabited by: a scientist who studies trees and a clairvoyant who talks to them; Lord Goodenough who travels around the furthest reaches of the Raj, giving names to nameless places; a geologist working towards ending futile wars over a glacier; octogenarian lovers; a superstitious dictator and a mother struggling to get her revolutionary son released; a yeti who seeks human companionship; a turtle who turns first into a boat and then a woman; and the ghost of an evaporated ocean as restless as the continents. Binding them all together is a vision of life as vast as the universe itself. Richly imaginative and irresistible in its storytelling, Latitudes of Longing announces the arrival of an incredible new literary talent.<br />
<br />
<b>REVIEW:</b><br />
"<b>Dreams, memories, desires... Come closer, let me tell you the marvelous tales this tree tells me."</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The debutante Subhangi Swarup is calling you to live her magnum opus creation. The author wrote in one place - "Some dreams are so beautiful and fragile.. they are left unrealized."</b><br />
<b>Just like that some stories are so beautiful that it's hard to describe & impossible to review. I am just speechless, my words have lost somewhere in the trap of her magical writing. The book is just.... Mesmerizing. Still let's discuss something in very brief. I don't want to talk about the plot, just read the blurb, buy the book(if you still didn't) & drown in it.</b><br />
<br />
<b>It's magic realism, purely. The nomenclature, exceptional writing, the lyrical flow, the metaphors, the tone, setting, character development, the rich research, detailing - everything is magical & brilliantly original. There is island, mountain, sea, rivers, water, snow, human, goddess, ghost, fossils, joy, melancholy, dreams, stars, cosmos and everything but only magic! You will be mesmerized by the writing modus. The author's perspective to see the world is so enchanting that you will forget everything about the outer world & will stick to this beautiful world. The author compared the geological & natural events with human interactions. The intense research is evident on every pages. Every single characters are created with so much passion. I read it slowly as I am a slow reader but it's dream like narration & flow will bound you to finish as soon as possible.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>You have never read anything like this. Its is a dreamy debut & a novel to remember. Eagerly waiting to see what the genius author do next. Pick it, read it & live it, it's going to be one of the finest experience of life, without any doubt. A full five star & infinity!</b><br />

<b>REVIEW: </b><br />
<b> </b><b>"Three men alive on Flannan Isle, </b><br />
<b> Who thought, on three men dead."</b><br />
<b> </b><b> -Wilfrid Wilson Gibson</b><br />
<b> Flannan Isle</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Based on century old true story of 'Flannan Isle Mystery', THE VANISHING is a psychological mystery thriller. A take on much discussed incident - three keepers gone missing from Flannan Lighthouse in 1900. This is the first film inspired by that event. As the event was fully mysterious, you may think the filmmakers made a solution! But it's not like that, instead of showing a fictional mystery solution, they just showed the flow of event, without any prominent conclusion, and its the best part of the film making. The direction, visuals, camera works were classic, the hauntingly beautiful score & the brilliant tone make a brilliant eerie atmosphere. The acting of the starcast was top notch. The experienced Peter Mullan & Gerard Butler were treat to watch. Connor's debut was perfect. The debut screenplay of the actor turned writer duo was satisfying.</b><br />

<b>A serious melodrama. The film opened many pathways but leave almost all the paths unchecked. I think that is intentional. The makers deserve praising for not showing any nonsense cinematic twist but a thought provoking transition of human mind out of greed. The film making was full of confidence & they knew what they are making. The violence on the screen was bearable & not very disturbing. From the start to end, the film stays composed. A fine melancholic piece of work which avoided all the chance of drowning & good enough not to be vanished from the mind. Watch it with a stable mind. You'll love it.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>OVERALL RATING: 7/10</b><br />

<div>
<b>The superhero films are the commercial winner worldwide, some experimental genre proved to be promising, some created major disappointment, without any long overture let's find 5 jewels of 2018.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>1. ANNIHILATION</b></div>
<div>
<b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</b></div>
<div>
<b>Directed by Alex Gerland, Annihilation is the best of 2018 and probably one of the best of its genre. This adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer's terrific novel is a piece of art. Stunning visual, weird setting, mysterious overtone, brilliant performances made it one of its kind. A magnum opus which shows the tendency of human self destruction. Classic! </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>2. A SIMPLE FAVOR</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<b>A SIMPLE FAVOR is a twisted new noir thriller with black comedy overtones. A stylist, funny, sexy, entertaining piece with exciting franco-pop music everywhere. Crazy!</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>3. SORRY TO BOTHER YOU</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<b>Based on the true story of the disastrous attempt by the amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst to complete the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race in 1968 and his subsequent attempts to cover up his failure, this James Marsh directorial is a melancholic sea journey with heart wrenching score of late Jรณhann Jรณhannsson.</b></div>

<b>5 BEST BENGALI FILMS OF 2018:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gqkuBJhvl94/XCSlh6_R6gI/AAAAAAAAAd0/FlOz-iy0J5gNmpHw4T2OWleb3HL_f2sywCEwYBhgL/s1600/20181227_140701_0001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="1024" height="160" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gqkuBJhvl94/XCSlh6_R6gI/AAAAAAAAAd0/FlOz-iy0J5gNmpHw4T2OWleb3HL_f2sywCEwYBhgL/s320/20181227_140701_0001.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<b>Like the past few years, also in 2018, the audience ignored the typical commercial films & celebrated the content based Alternative Films. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So without any long overture, let's find the 5 jewels of Bengali Film Industry in 2018.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. UMA</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r--Lq8jz4Oc/XCSk7yEpnMI/AAAAAAAAAdg/AObJvheeNo8sL2gdrn6_nz69FF8u8na9wCEwYBhgL/s1600/images%252852%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="679" data-original-width="452" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r--Lq8jz4Oc/XCSk7yEpnMI/AAAAAAAAAdg/AObJvheeNo8sL2gdrn6_nz69FF8u8na9wCEwYBhgL/s320/images%252852%2529.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<b>The magician Srijit Mukherjee knows how to 'bengalify' a story. Based on the true account of Evan Leversage, UMA is an emotional saga of love, promise & unbeatable soul. This cinematic brilliance is undoubtedly best outcome of 2018.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. SHONAR PAHAR</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xEkbccJZBNM/XCSk6Mgnn9I/AAAAAAAAAdQ/4sTZ9O2VdwYz_dOSnnGBIjFt-3T1gcRdgCEwYBhgL/s1600/61982403.cms.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="317" data-original-width="219" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xEkbccJZBNM/XCSk6Mgnn9I/AAAAAAAAAdQ/4sTZ9O2VdwYz_dOSnnGBIjFt-3T1gcRdgCEwYBhgL/s1600/61982403.cms.jpg" /></a></div>
<b>The genius actor Parambrata Chatterjee proved that as a director he too can create magic, thanks to the SHONAR PAHAR. A simple yet heart wrenching melody of transition, eternity & nostalgia. SHONAR PAHAR is among the finest Bengali films.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. AAMI JOY CHATTERJEE</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dtn_C9fKk7Q/XCSlfF7QXWI/AAAAAAAAAdw/PNk90ld-WvYHBxur1mSPJ8BJ8rbPiVrDQCEwYBhgL/s1600/MV5BMmE1YjI2ZjAtYzE4Mi00MDllLTljZTYtN2U3MjVjMjk0NmZmXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTk1NjA2Njg%2540._V1_UX182_CR0%252C0%252C182%252C268_AL_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="268" data-original-width="182" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dtn_C9fKk7Q/XCSlfF7QXWI/AAAAAAAAAdw/PNk90ld-WvYHBxur1mSPJ8BJ8rbPiVrDQCEwYBhgL/s1600/MV5BMmE1YjI2ZjAtYzE4Mi00MDllLTljZTYtN2U3MjVjMjk0NmZmXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTk1NjA2Njg%2540._V1_UX182_CR0%252C0%252C182%252C268_AL_.jpg" /></a></div>
<b>This Manoj Michigan directorial is a rollercoaster psychological ride to find the soul of 'me' which has the perfect hearty essence. Kudos!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4. GUPTODHONER SANDHANE</b><br />

<b>As the descendant of Feluda & Byomkesh the Bengali Film Industry came with another original detective - Sona Da. GUPTODHONER SANDHANE have all the need of the genre & it's a tribute to the glorious detective film making of Bengali industry.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>5. GHARE & BAIRE</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wPwH2yXGPIk/XCSk6RYtjZI/AAAAAAAAAdk/Fjaa8opW0SMUMR7n-VzGHli6XfAhaoaSgCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20180328_113347.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1140" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wPwH2yXGPIk/XCSk6RYtjZI/AAAAAAAAAdk/Fjaa8opW0SMUMR7n-VzGHli6XfAhaoaSgCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_20180328_113347.jpg" width="228" /></a></div>
<b>Directed by Mainak Bhaumik, GHARE & BAIRE is an easy to connect, close to heart, Rom Com which will entertain you for sure.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>With the love of audience & commercial success, the experimental films are the clear winner. But the disappointing matter is some potent actors have been still doing typical 'mainstream' films with horrible titles! Audiences have no problem with mainstream, but there should be some story & logic! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Hope 2019 will gift us some masterpieces! </b></div>

<b>An exceptional Year - Big films failed, 'Small' turned to be giant. 2018 proved Content is important, not its budget, starcast or glittering pseudo cover.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Without any long prelude let's find the 5 jewels of 2018</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. ANDHADHUN</b><br />

<b>From every corner, undoubtedly Andhadhun is the best thing of 2018. A brilliant film with exception storyline, narrative, flow, direction, acting, editing & Music. Sriram Raghavan had gifted us a 'perfect' cinematic experience. Hats off!</b><br />

<b>Not a niche art film, not a typical family drama, Badhaai Ho is a perfect mixture. A terrific film making which is deep, humorous yet funny with social values. Perfect! </b><br />

<b>A rare film with exceptional black humour with engaging story line, Irfan Khan's terrific screen presence. Abhinay Deo had made one of the better films of 2018. A crazy ride! </b><br />

<b>Horror could be gorgeous also. A thriller with otherworldly set, brilliant visual, spine chilling tone & a much needed moral (which horror flick should have). A never forgettable experience! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>HONOURABLE MENTIONS: There are some more brilliant film which are equally classic. The Social giant PADMAN, weird yet beautiful romance PARI, the slow poison OCTOBER, Visually Magnum opus ROBOT 2 (2.0) etc. </b><br />
<b>The audience chose the films which deserve to be chosen. So the audience are the winners. The time has come for Bollywood, especially for the big film makers to change their stream. Hope 2019 will give us more masterpieces. </b></div>

Their conversation soon turns into an argument over God's existence, and its nature. What seemed to be a harmless debate becomes Manjiri's worst nightmare when she is trapped by Manu in a cell. Are Manu's intentions malign or is this some weird test of faith? Take a seat, buckle your belt, as you set yourself on the world's most claustrophobic, yet enlightening, journey of Manjiri. Be prepared to see life in a radically different way with this bold, edge of the seat thriller.</span><br />
