"Pokkhirajer Dim: A Whimsical Blend of Fantasy and Science"
Pokkhirajer Dim is a rare Bengali fantasy adventure that balances folklore, science, and childhood wonder. Soukarya Ghosal weaves a tale where a curious boy, his eccentric teacher, and a loyal friend stumble upon a mythical stone that can alter reality. What follows is a magical yet thoughtful journey that questions knowledge, greed, and the ethics of discovery.
The film shines in its performances-Anirban Bhattacharya's quirky yet layered scientist is a delight, while young Mahabrata Basu brings warmth and sincerity as Ghoton. The visuals transport viewers into a whimsical Bengal, blending rustic landscapes with imaginative dreamscapes. The music, too, deepens the sense of enchantment.
Though the narrative sometimes lingers and the pacing dips in the middle, the overall experience is charming. It feels like a tribute to Bengali fantasy traditions-from Ray to Leela Majumdar-while carving out its own modern identity.
