Ghawre Bairey Aaj

Loved the movie! Very apt for current time. Acting is amazing and so is the script. I love the amazing messages that run through out the movie. Anirban does a fantastic job!

This is an interpretation of Tagore's story set in the India of 2019 where buoyed by political forces, a large part of the population has experienced a renewed recognition of their religious identity. If you have seen the original Ray classic, this film is bound to get you at least interested. Some of the incidents shown don't come across as strong plot-builders and more as half-hearted attempts to build the central characters. Art direction is wonderful, and is able to transport you into the fabled life of Delhi's intelligentsia. Tuhina's performance never slips, and Anirban is pretty solid. It is the more seasoned Jisshu Sengupta who is unconvincing at times, especially because lots of viewers have Soumitra's performance in the Ray film in mind, and this character is not one-track at all. While your mind does wander to Ray's classic several times during the film, the end does hit you and wraps up the film pretty well. There is inspiration from Painted Veil and the Gauri Lankesh incident (Sen dedicates the film to the social activist). Definitely not Sen's best directorial effort.

Ghawre Baire Aaj is an excellent dramatic creation of Aparna Sen..... it is one of the best scribble of Aparna Sen....each and every character and the persons ( Nikhilesh Chowdhury, Brinda Chowdhury and Sandip Jha and else.. meaningly Anirban Bhattachrya, Tuhina Das and Jisshu U Sengupta and more..) in this movie kept their rummy dispotion evidences. The base of the story fiercely shows the political and intestine familiar story of almost evry relationships and the bondings..After all this movie will give an unprecedented perception to each person.... :)

What happened to Aparna Sen? My hopes were set high by the choice of the relevant political issues and, of course, the fact that this is an adaptation of the fascinating Tagore novel. Why did you need to ruin the novel by doing this? The film throws away its potentials through undeveloped, unnecessary subplots. And the actress is just not up to the mark. A film on such a burning issue ought to have been much more responsible. Et tu, Aparna!

I did not read the original novel,but suspect it had lots of insight. Allowing that the historic background has been altered for me as an outsider the politics was interesting--modern day problem is containing hate. I was impressed with th three main actors--only conscious of having seen one other Aparna Sen film she dealt with the emotions very well. Also thought the cinematography was subtle and as with the background music helped set mood. Very good.
