Fatafati

"Fashion isn't about how chubby or slim you are, fashion is about celebrating yourself " this is the main concept of this film. This is a very unique concept in bengali cinema. I don't think so, there has been a movie about this kind of thing before.

Director Aritra Mukherjee's Direction is awesome. There will be no talk about the story of the movie, in one word it is great. Applicable dialogues have been put in this movie. The biggest thing is, the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not shown unnecessarily.

There are some songs in the movie. These are very good. Nice to hear and see. Background music are also good.

Let's talk about acting, Ritabhari Chakraborty (Fullora Bhaduri), Abir Chatterjee (Bachoshpoti Bhaduri), Swastika Dutta (The Biki Sen), Soma Banerjee (Bachoshpoti's Mother), Raktim Samanta (Bachoshpoti's Brother) are the main characters in this movie. They portray their own characters very well. Separately applauded to Ritabhari Chakraborty and Abir Chatterjee. Also other casts are there in the movie. They are very good.

Love Bikki Sen. I don't know why but I found her to be very relatable. I have a neighbour, who is always gossiping about what others wear, what they eat, what their body weight is, what their public conduct is like and how all these should ideally be and passes on all the information to her circle. So, all these women are always body shaming the rest of the neighbourhood. I have been under their scanner several times and no matter how much I detest them or want to raise my voice, something in me has barred me from doing that. Fatafati is an answer to the Bikki Sens of the world. I hope all these aunties watch the film and realise what a mess they have been to us. Performance wise too, Swastika Dutta as Bikki Sen has been quite a revelation. She has broken image to do this and hats off!

Watched this movie today, really portrays the real picture in today's world were fat girls are looked down upon, with the world running behind 0 figure and everyone is a rat race to look as skinny as possible this movie takes the brave move to go against these stereotypes, Awesome performance by Ritabori and Abir both shared a very good on screen chemistry, beautiful songs, Hats off to Shiboprasad and Nandita for making such a movie, they always keep surprising is with a different and Unique concept with their movies, their every is best and I really enjoy watching their movies. Kudos to the entire team.

'Fatafati' Is Way Above 'Motamuti' And Way Ahead Of 'Tadatadi'

If you have ever lived in Bengal or are blessed to have Bengali friends around you, who somehow cannot resist and often indulge in speaking their mother tongue while you watch them, enjoying their sorties, these three words used in the subject line are definitely not new to you.

• Fatafati - A word that 'Motamuti' expresses excellence of higher order.

• Motamuti - A word that 'Tadatadi' expresses anything that is on an average.

• Tadatadi - A word that unlike above two words, expresses the dire need to hurry up whichever way it can.

"Fatafati" - an Aritra Mukherjee directed Bengali movie, dubbed in many languages including Hindi and released on OTT platform on Sony Liv on 4th August 2023 is "Motamuti" a pure, fresh and unpolished diamond on an irresistible offer that should be "Tadatadi" availed, watched for some clean, inspiring and rejuvenating entertainment.

Though the movie quickly establishes a heart to heart connection with all type of or different age group of viewers, if you have ever lived in Kolkata or in Bengal in general, it would go an extra mile to make you feel at home.

No doubt, the movie could have been a real masterpiece had some finer points been attended, decorated and celebrated in a logically placed sequence or order, but even then the sheer purity of intent, inherent simplicity of expression and abundant clarity in content with which the story unfolds beautifully, makes it a cut above the rest.

In times when violence, action and vulgarity are considered as a certain winning formula, especially on OTT, 'Fatafati' stands out as a clean entertainment trendsetter movie which is likely to inspire many budding Phulloras of our world to blossom into a beautiful flower, spreading the fragrance of love, trust and excellence, wherever they are.

Though I can go on writing about this small budget wonder that is full of human feelings, priceless sentiments and natural emotions, saying anything further, may actually reveal the plot, I want you to explore, discover and enjoy on your own.

It is a must watch movie that should be enjoyed with entire family watching it together - do share your reflections after viewing it.

We simply loved being a part of this beautiful story,

In gratitude,

This is a beautiful movie with a great message to convey. Body shaming is a crime as it affects a person psychologically. Phullora's story is an example of how one should ignore all the comments regarding one's shape and size and concentrate on his/her work. Success is the best answer to all sorts of criticism. It is high time that we, as a society, stop all these. The film entails some heart touching performance by the lead artists and is a family entertainment. It's absolutely essential to encourage Bengali movies of this kind because it does not promote any negative idea. Go and watch Fatafati and recommend it to all your friends and family. This film gives a positive message which is absolutely essential for today's youth.
