This film made by Anurag Kashyap, does not need any fuel to run amok, nor it needs any external force, this film, with it's gallons of blood and violence in the true bihari style,which simply rips your senses, numbs any feeling that is left inside and explodes somewhere in the deep recesses of the mind leaving a burning smell and a smears of blood dripped in agony.

Best-sellers by Stephen King or Dean R. Koontz, no matter how macabre or chilling it may be, still carries a thin line of logic working within, but Gangs of Wasseypur, is pure Violence, slash, dice, cut, pulverize and chop business. That too without mercy! A Film Review By Nilanjan Nandy.

 

I was not quite satisfied with Srijit Mukherjee's first two films, though they clanged the cash registers in the last couple of year and placed Mukherjee in the front row of Bengali Film Director's league. To me "Autograph" and "Baishey Srabon" were nothing much to talk about, after all choices differ...But his third and recent project - "Hemlock Society" changed my opinion about him...... A film Review By NILANJAN NANDY

"LAPTOP"; I should say that the feeling of watching such a movie, which is serious, deep, at times dark, slow yet interesting and moving, unearthing layer after layer of the most amazing thing called LIFE...in forms; grey, sketchy, rain-drenched and expressions of humiliation, rejection, pride, hate, affection, loneliness, suspicion, conviction, love, bondage, loss, wonder, possessiveness and extinction, is simply AMAZING!

LAPTOP though reminds us the true essence of European films, and also brings back memories of Tapan Sinha's "Harmonium" (1976), truly embellishes our heart with a feeling of utmost satisfaction.

I think Kaushik Ganguly is the ONLY DIRECTOR here in this Bengali Film Industry who CONSISTENTLY makes films of true International class and meaning., it's a pity that he is under-rated and his films doesn't seem to bag the attention and adoration it so deserves. 

"BHOOTER BHOBISHYOT":  I can very easily announce that I've definitely watched (one of) the finest Bengali movie this afternoon in recent times, and hopefully the BEST in the last two or three years.
What is a film made up of? What makes a movie tick?

Great directors from the commercial and not-so-commercial genre, both have agreed on one single point.

The script; the storytelling. It is the singular object in a 'flick' that makes the cash registers at the box-office jingle and also fills up the heart of the movie buff  with a feel-good jelly, that definitely tastes yummy!

What Aneek Dutta, the director of this film actually did; he has played the role of a storyteller to the tee! Storytelling, that has made masters from Charles Dickens to Stephen King into legendary authors, makes "BHOOTER BHOBISHYOT", the Bengali super-fun flick into an entertainment package that packs a solid punch and scores a perfect 10!

  In the Thriller set in New Orleans -  "Seeking Justice" the pace maintains a tad rhythm but the film itself looks tired and boring. It lacks the edge these kind of thrillers should possess.

Nicholas Cage plays Will Gerard, a school-teacher whose intellect is more told -- via stale nods to Shakespeare and chess ; than demonstrated by anything he does in the film. When his wife Laura (January Jones) is raped, in the waiting area of the hospital Laura i admitted a mystery man appears, he is Simon (Guy Pearce), who offers Will a mysterious shot at extra-judicial justice: Representing a shadowy "group that" - dramatic pause - "deals with people," he says he'll have the rapist killed if Will promises to do some undetermined, probably minor favor in the future. After a bit of hesitation Will Agrees...

That rapist  gets killed after a few hours...
