Lokkhi Chele (An Angel's Kiss)

As with most Kaushik Ganguly's films, this too is based on a social issue and well crafted. The mindsets portrayed are difficult to uproot, but the film clearly tells us which path to walk.

The script has some flaws and is a tad too sentimental, but is mostly well paced and acted. Special mention for Churni Ganguly, Ambarish Bhattacharya. Music is good.

So Lokkhi Chhele.... Firstly,this brought out the amazing and super talented actor in Ambarish Bhattacharya. What an acting!

And Ujaan Ganguly,whose eyes resemble Churni's,way of talking resembles her,while attitude resembles Kaushik Ganguly!

This indeed,would have been possible in Kolkata, in Bengal!

From the very beginning,the film kept us stuck to our seats,excited and waiting for the immediate next scene to flash to know how the story progresses ahaid.

Half an hour to the movie's end,and the movie could have been given a Bollywood style ending with the audience happy enough to go back home and recommend it to others,but,the director focused and emphasised on the story,the reality and thus made the last 30 minutes of the movie unbearably sad and thought-provoking for us.

I couldn't practically hold my tears in the last few minutes of the movie,and probably that's what masterpieces are like.

A movie worth the highest rating,and overall,a movie worth a trillion watch,in every remote village of India,every maternity care nursing home.

It's a moment of pride to say that we belong to a generation of stars like Kaushik Ganguly, Churni Ganguly,Ujaan Ganguly,Ambarish Bhattacharya and Babul Supriyo.

And,who else could have been a better producer than the most social and benevolent Nandita-Shiboprosad.

An ode to acting,cinema,humanity!

It is thematically imbued with ideas that dared to challenge the unwavering shadows of stigmas and superstitions, but from a cinematic perspective, the writing, or the screenplay to be exact, faltered on so many levels.

The editing had issues (continuities); the dialogues sounded over-emphasised, and it had to do more with the pitch and tonality of words vocalised than what was communicated through those lines. As a consequence, the deliveries started sounding kind of preachy and pharisaical.

I only wish the messages were put across in a more fitting fashion because we all should be bringing up such discourses in our daily discussions.

Kaushik Ganguly never disappoints with his direction. A great film with a great message. Great performances by Ujan Ganguly, Churni Ganguly, Indradish Roy, Ambarish Bhattacharya ( specially his narration) and others. Music on point. The film is great social commentary about casteism, superstitions, domestic violence, social stigma, political and monetary power that is relevant in every corner of India. KG has guts to take up such a topic in current India where jobless people are busy boycotting films every now and then due to bs reasons.

Everyone should watch it, be it for the performances, story or message. It is top notch on all these aspects. And the performance of Ujan Ganguly in the last scene of the film is beyond explaining, he alone steals the show there.

Very few people see this kind of picture...I saw it myself today after 2 years....really don't know what to say :)..maybe we are minority people who see such picture..but please make it for people like us.. .It makes me happy to see this kind of work.....If you make a film like this, people will stand by it for sure...no one has to tell you to stand by Bengali film!!! There is not a bad dialogue...no too much cheap nakamo..Acting is clear..No too much idle pomp..thank you thank you...and let the work be great..."Let humanity be the greatest religion"!!

All the best for upcoming Koushik Ganguly's film.. really admire you work!!
