• Manik Babur Megh Movie Review by Aritra Banerjee | Film Companion Local
    Jul 17 2024

    "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
    Jun 22 2024

    "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

    Jun 10 2024

    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
