Beline

While watching the film, I experienced an intellectual engagement similar to solving a challenging math problem. Instead of solely focusing on the director's intentions, we can gain a deeper understanding by examining the symbols, motifs, and metaphors presented and analysing them through our life experiences and imagination. This approach allows our subconscious to connect with the movie, creating a more meaningful cinematic experience.

The film explores themes such as loneliness amid others, the physical limitations of ageing, curiosity about others' private lives, and how an obsession with the virtual world can alienate individuals from reality. It creatively illustrates how fictional worlds can act as an escape from real life. The director's innovative use of visual language to address these themes is commendable.

Paran Bandopadhyay, a prominent figure in Bengali acting, beautifully portrays the lonely older man in this film. The supporting cast also provides strong performances.

Since the director also wrote the screenplay, his overall control over the film is evident. I highly recommend this movie.

Beline isn't a movie you watch, it's a movie you experience. It's a symphony of sight and sound, weaving together a tapestry of reality and illusion that challenges your perception. The narrative unfolds like a dream, blurring the lines between past, present, and future. This isn't a film for those seeking clear-cut answers; it's an invitation to introspection, urging you to question your own understanding of the world.

Beline is not without flaws. The pacing can be deliberate at times, demanding patience from the viewer. However, the payoff is a truly unique cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll. It's a film that rewards repeat viewings, as new layers of meaning reveal themselves with each encounter.

If you're seeking a thought-provoking film that will stay with you long after the credits roll, Beline is a must-watch. Just be prepared to have your perceptions challenged.

Beline isn't your typical movie. It's like a mind-bender wrapped in a character study, all with some seriously gorgeous cinematography. Think Inception meets Donnie Darko, but with a way more relatable story. The characters grapple with some real stuff, and the acting is on point.

Just a heads up, this movie isn't a fast-paced action flick. It takes its time, which lets you sink into the story and really connect with the characters. It's definitely not boring though, the suspense keeps you guessing, and there's this whole other layer of meaning you can unpack if you want to. Honestly, Beline left me thinking for days. It's not a movie with all the answers, but that's kind of the point. It makes you question things and see the world a little differently. If you're up for a trippy ride with some powerful emotions, Beline is a must-watch!

Beline is one of the finest bengali movie that i have seen in recent times. Loved the camera work,editing and the sound design.

The Lead cast delivered Brilliant performances specially Paran Bandyopadhyay and Shreya Bhattacharjee.

Great screenplay loved the way the director shown loneliness and psychological aspects of the characters. Didn't see the twist coming .Over all a it's very unique film which keeps you engaged from start to the end.

"Independent" in probably the most undiluted sense of the term, Samik Roy Choudhury 's 'Beline' orchestrates it's unnarrated narrative in an unprecedented style, not giving a single damn to cater to the growing impatience of the "market" (which cannot wait for a "content" to unfold itself rapidly thereby reaching it's optimal apotheosis within the span of 30 seconds).

Films made here , (a brief list of some of which includes - Beline , Badami Haynar Kobole, ChalChitra ekhon, Jhilli, etc. Are being consistently instrumental since the last few years, in proving beyond doubt, that if Cinema really has a scope of plurality, it is of the Voice, not of the Language. Cinema is essentially the medium which requires multiplicity of Voice , on whichever layer that is; no matter if it involves only the denotative aspect of the screen or the connotative as well. However, it never, NEVER calls for multiplicity of Language. That is the only exception, where all the vibrant open ends join and club together into a gigantic VIBGYOR! Which is composed of "many" but put to effect in it's 'Oneness'. And hence "language" in case of Cinema, can never be used as a shield of lame excuses.

Cinema makes all it's implications in only One language.

And that language - is called "Cinema" .

This is what qualifies the viewing procedure, not into a semi-didactic session, but into an Experience.

Beline started with interesting visuals and incidents, but I was confused where the story is going. By the end of the first half the story and making has created enough impact to make me curious. The second half disturbed me with the story and brilliant acting by main three actors. The film was so engaging that we couldn't understand if it was the screenplay or the edit that made this happen. The last 10 minutes were mind blowing. It blew everyone in the theatres. The twist in the story was unimaginably good. It answered all the questions or doubts we had during the film. The music played a big role to make this film so engaging. Looking forward to more good films by this team and producer.
