Is there anyone around who has felt depressed, and not succumbed to Old Monk for immediate relief at least once in life?
'Buro Sadhu' (literal translation of the famous rum - Old Monk) is a very relatable tale of the life of Abir, (played to perfection by the inimitable Ritwik Chakraborty) a young man who's struggling with dejection from a failed relationship in one hand and concurrently with his career as a scriptwriter/Assistant director in the movie industry which is not really taking off.
The movie touches on the sensitive subjects like Dejection, Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder and Alcoholism all very carefully, never going overboard / off-track once. The music and the background score of the movie is amazing, easily the best in recent times. The songs - 'Jawle jhapas na' , 'Askara' and 'Nayan tomare parena dekhite' are already very popular.
Direction is top notch, and there's a very intriguing twist in the tail. Highly recommended.
Go, watch 'Buro Sadhu' before it disappears from the screens.
Thank me later.
