Dictionary

Great movie, awesome direction,great acting,must watch.

"Dictionary" is a Bengali language drama film which was released in 2021, directed by Bratya Basu. The movie is based on two short stories "Baba howa" and "Swami howa" written by Buddhadeb Guha. Mosharraf Karim, Abir and Nusrat are the protagonists. Mosharraf plays the role of a businessman who can't communicate in English. Abir is an introvert forest officer and Nusrat plays the role of his wife. She has an extra marital affair with Mosharraf's brother in law.

The trailer was very promising so I decided to give it a watch. First of all, Thanks to Nusrat. She took the half responsibility for spoiling the movie. The onscreen adaption is very bad. Script writing and dialogue delivery both are pathetic. Abir's performance is typical as usual. The only good thing is the performance of Mosharraf Karim. He's the reason, I spent my valuable time for. The climax is also very disappointing. Seems like it has a forceful ending.

According to me, "Dictionary" is not even a one time watch movie. Watch it at your own risk.

Subject wise the movie was quite good. But with her school of acting Nusrat should be casted opposite Abir, she won't deserve a chance. Abir is class actor, he may not have muscle, he may not that dance skill, he may not have that skill to be a super-human in Bengali movie what we used to see till a few years ago, but in his generation, considerably, he is one of the most talented actor of bong industry, it will not be wrong if I say, he is one of best actor ever bengali industry have produced. So, Nusrat opposite him looks like a furniture. But, yeah the story is good which I liked the most in this movie.

The chemistry between Boudi and Suman was not clear at all. It was without any starting or ending. Mosharrf Karim was good as usual. But, movie was not upto the mark.

I think some people are rating highly than the film is !some people are getting too harsh !! I would rate this film 6/6.5 ...For me ,Abir's performance was the poorest .Nusrat acted good but dialogue throwing is not that good ..maybe she should work more on his voice ..she can do better I believe ...I loved most Mosharrof Karim .. His part of story was too good ....If that part was bigger ,I would rate this film at least 8 !! But I think it had potential ,but not worked on that with the most hardwork !! But you can watch one time with less expectation.
