Aguner Poroshmoni

Humayun Ahmed's 'Aguner Poroshmoni' is a well told story set during the war of Independence in Bangladesh. Though it isn't executed in a most sophisticated way (flat cinematography, sometimes irritating background score, and at times poor lighting), it successfully echos the horror of the time when living in Bangladesh was a continuous nightmare. The scenes of execution are impactive. The key strength of 'Aguner Poroshmoni' are the story and the performances. Ahmed brilliantly adds humour to lighten the tense moods and the poetry works beautifully. A few scenes appear a bit too dramatic but this can easily be overlooked since it's a minor quibble. The principle cast perform wonderfully. Abul Hayat, Dolly Johur and Asaduzzaman Noor are exceptional and Bipasha Hayat is terrific as the courageous Ratri. In the first scene we see her having a nervous breakdown after which she gradually pulls herself together while still yearning for freedom. In addition the actress who plays the maid also does a fine job. However, most of the extras act mechanically. 'Aguner Poroshmoni' is among the few gems to come out from a relatively unknown country where global cinema is concerned. It reminds one of the time when a genocide took place in a less known country and there was little the rest of the world did to stop it on time.

Awsome and must watch movie ever, contain Bengali Liberation war and true story of Bangladesh.

And also emotional movie tooo

I can bet that every Bangladeshi teenagers who were born in 80s, 90s and early 2000s are fans of Humayun Ahmed irrespective of novel or movie.Aguner Poroshmoni depicts the emotions of people mind and the reality of 1971...the cinematography and backgroundsongs were so much relevant...and the director showed us how turn a simle story into masterpiece with sheer brilliancy!The sacrifice that was made by the protagonists and the inner support they got from almost unknown people just tell us everything is not about being alive...freedom is everything!

This is undoubtedly the best movie about the war of 1971. Humayun Ahmed did the fabulous job once again. This movie contains the true scenery of the liberation war. Can't stop being emotional while watching the masterpiece.
