Utshob

The title of this movie speaks for itself. It is indeed a wholesome celebration of life, its people, and all the possibilities. It will make you cry, smile, and indulge in nostalgia, all at once. A truly refreshing and unique movie; a breath of fresh air compared to all the typical movies these days. It is also a bridge between the old and the new generation.

Zahid Hasan plays the role of Jahangir, an elderly, grumpy man living alone. Disliked by his entire neighborhood for his bad manners, his life suddenly changes when something unexpected happens.

Honestly, the less you know about the movie, the better. Go and watch this movie in the theatres. And don't forget to take your family and loved ones with you.

It's not easy to make a grown man cry, laugh and emotional at a same movie. The script is witty as well as heart touching. It feels like experiencing the moments of ones own life. The worst part is when you realize that the movie is going to end.

Storytelling is like a roller coaster ride. One moment you are relaxed and laughing at your seat, the next moment will take you to the edge of your seat. Choice of music is nice.

Casting is very thoughtful. The link among characters transits the movie so smoothly that there is never a dull moment.

Ear popping applause for the Director, script writer and the artists. This movie will remain as a classic 👌.

Hats off to the director, cast and producer of Utshab for making such a heart warming, feel good movie. Among all non sense actioned packed movie released during Eid, this was like a fresh air. Perhaps one of the best movie made by any bangladeshi film makers during last 10 years. It's pity though it did not get much attention initially. Hope those who watched and liked this movie will promote about this film so that people are encouraged to watch it in big screen. Though people mostly appreciated Zahid hasan and other senior actor's performance, actors like Sadia Ayman, Soumya also performed very well.

How to describe utshob? Let's say, this is a piece that brings silence. That let us stop our time for a moment. Let us pause for a moment, review our own lives, and rethink our own choices. Utshob is not just a movie; it was an experience. When I was in the hall, I was not just watching the movie. I was shuffling through my memories, the choices I made on my own life, the regret I left behind. What could I have done differently in my life? What could have changed? What could have been made better? Would it shift things differently? It would take you down through your memory lens. It fills you with regret and perhaps leaves a bittersweet taste in your mind.

But the movie answers the question itself. Once, one of my friends said, "The best part of loving someone is letting them go." Like Jahangir in this movie, holding onto his past, his memories, his losses, and perhaps love for his ex-wife, Jasmine. The movie gave a complete experience through Jahangir's decision to let it go and live in the present. He was perhaps a flawed character, a person with limitations, but that made his character meaningful, more humane. He is perhaps just like all of us.

The best part of Utshob is perhaps its ability to stir up our minds. I have seen people leaving the hall while crying. They were of all ages. Whether it was empathy towards the movie or themselves is a question to ask.

I will recommend this movie. Watch it.

This is a quite decently done film adaptation of Charles Dickens' timeless classic "A Christmas Carol". Kudos to the script writing team for adapting the story in such a mannner that incorporated the cultural shifts in a believable & convincing way. With mosly quite popular & familiar faces, the casting was great for a Bangladeshi film where Zahid Hasan on the lead perfectly cast as the cold-hearted miser, Jahangir Scrooge [😁]. Both Soumya Joyti & Sadia Ayman maintained a warm screen presence through their moving performances in their respective roles. Absolutely loved those little emotional punches near the end that the director, Tanim Noor orchestrated pretty nicely. As it exceeded my expectations, I'll surely look forward to check out his future projects.
