It is a tale that valiantly inquires into the nuances of marriage, a narrative that intricately scrutinises the complicated unison between these two women who incidentally associate with the same man; one's from his former past, the other one, his present, cleverly juxtaposing the times they respectively shared with the man in question; one that went by and gradually forgotten and the other one that still hangs back and grasps on to the present.

Kaushik Ganguly has brought a compelling dynamic into play, something that is seldom showcased, and for that alone, his efforts must be duly appreciated. That said, I still feel he couldn't nail the ending. The third act was the weakest, as the final few moments felt rushed and inconsiderate. I wish it were done in a different way. The rest of it, however, functioned as expected; heavy on emotions and laced with appurtenance.

This film is a masterpiece, meticulously written and directed by Kaushik Ganguly. The two lead actors, Churni Ganguly and Jaya Ahsan, prove again that they are two of the best actors in India at present, and deserve awards for their performance. Ambarish Bhattacharya adds the required touch of humour. Veteran Lily Chakravarty gives a strong memorable performance.

It is a family entertainer that must be watched to appreciate the strong performance by the actors, excellent direction, dramatic dialogue, and beautiful music. The scene where Jaya Ahsan's character sings the Tagore song "Jibon jokhon chhilo fuler moto", sung by Sahana Bajpaie as the playback singer, was a beautiful moment in the film. This film shows the path to take Bengali cinema forward.

Husband's ex-wife and ex-husband's current wife, what can be the exact equation of these two people! Is it only outrage, the burden and resentment of unknown complaints, or is it possible to find compassion and cooperation in this relationship???

A man, with whom she had spent seventeen years under the same roof, in the same room, in the same bed, all of a sudden today just in front of her eyes that man's unconscious body laid on the ground and she has no right to run to him and touch him because he is her past. Today, that very well-known person is no one. And what if the present of her ex comes to her door for her help? Help that has no identity, no meaning, no recognition, nothing but dishonor and pain in return. Is it really that easy to become "The Great Ex wife"? Or life life will lead you to another way .... The finest piece of work has made by Kaushik Ganguly. You did it. After finishing the movie there was a standing ovation at the movie hall. It was beyond beautiful. Will be waiting for your next one.

Kudos to Kaushik Sen, Churni Ganguly, Jaya Ahsan, Lilly Chakraborty and Ambarish. You have done a great job.

Each and every actor and actress are doing superb, Just awesome. Each plot goes part by part and understanding between each and every phase are very clear. To be honest I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for once. Every song in this movie is awesome. Thank you very much to the director & writer Koushik Ganguly and all the cast for give as such beautiful movie. Churni Ganguly for beautiful acting be a ex wife. Koushik Sen for the husband. Jaya Ahsan for beautiful acting as a second wife. Lily Chakrabarty was a great choice as a responsible mother. Ambarish Bhattacharya as a good and best little brother as a support.

Nandita Shivprasad's "PRAKTON" is a very famous movie among Bengalis. Although the context is not the same, there are quite a lot of similarities. I can say with a guarantee that those who liked the "PRAKTON", will like this movie. In several places, the script is better than the "PRAKTON".

However, the movie lacks entertainment. But the dialogue is great. The movie teaches how to indirectly help the ex-husband even after releasing him.

Churney has acted incredibly well. Although Jaya is aloof in some places, she has known her caste at times. Ambarish as well as very helpful.

But the speed in the movie is very slow. In that direction, the movie could have been better.
