Its a movie about infidelity. A movie about the colors of life in black and white. Infidelity for no apparent reason. This movie is a emotional journey through the aftermath of infidelity.
The acting in this movie is awesome especially by Konkona. The treatment in black and white makes it artistic. However I felt few scenes in color or sepia would have made even more impact. The ending is chauvinistic and too sudden. Rituporno excels as a director, clever interweaving comedy in a movie with a serious theme making it an enjoyable watch. The use of poems amplify the effect of this movie. One of my favorites(from this movie, as it contains the essence of this movie) is:
"tomar thoth amar thoth chulo
jodio ei prothombar noi
chumbon to ageo bohubar...
eibar thothe mileche ashroi
vromon shob bhoyer golpe
doitto danob rakkosh r khoi
tile tile shukhoi rajkumari
ontomile rajputrer joy"
My English translation
(Your lips touched mine
Though not the first time
Kisses had flown then
Now lips are my haven
Traveling though the scary tales,
Beasts ghosts fiends and swines
The Princess withers gradually
Until the Prince's victory)
Overall 6/10
