Recently, I watched this new bengali film named Anuranon (meaning Resonance). Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury (an ad film-maker) directed Rahul Bose, Rituparna Sengupta, Raima Sen and Rajat Kapoor in the pivotal roles in the movie.
Onething I liked about this film was the screenplay. After a long time (maybe the first time), I watched some beautiful outskirts of London in a bengali film. The shots at Sikkim reminded of Kanchenjangha (by Ray) and Titli (by Ghosh). The ecstatic view of Kanchenjangha was the best reward for me.
The music was not of particular interest but was not out of sort as well. Although I must comment on the length of the film, it could have been slightly shorter by 10-15 min. I could not find any on-screen chemistry between Rituparna and Rahul Bose at all, some how she looked like his elder sister. The mere attraction and compatibility between Raima and Rahul was evident. I am still finding a justification of casting Rajat Kapoor in this film and doing a complicated voice make-over. I thought Bangla film industry has couple of people who could have done complete justice to his part of the role.
Overall, as a cinegoer, I am really happy to see present commercial bangla movies are getting re-defined and not just by Rituparno Ghosh but others are also coming up with their own taste. Somehow, I feel that bangla movies have always been noted for its distinct features and its commercialization does not necessarily need the inclusion of the Bollywood potpouris in it.
