Dictionary

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

An unfaithful wife becomes jealous when his lover is going to marry a girl. Her husband is tolerant all the way even knowing her infidelity. On the other hand, a self made businessman is eager to know the meaning of an English word his banker considers him.

Spoiler ahead!!!!!!

Two parallel story. One is, Mosharraf Karim, a businessman, looking for a word meaning buying a dictionary. The English word his banker told him. His son argue with the banker for correct meaning. However, Mosharraf Karim is the best, even in foreign, he proved it.

The other one is, Abir Chatterjee, where he is a good-for-nothing husband of Nusrat Jahan. His wife is making love with another man, but knowing everything he has no feeling, no reaction, no backwash, not a single word. He is infirm all in all. His wife making sex with her lover and then when her lover got married, she comeback to her husband and then she makes sex with her husband. Her husband has no reaction, no huff, just doing sex and forget everything, forgetting this, that his wife once (may be several times) slept with another man, and he has nothing to say. One of the least self-respect and stupid man in the world. By the way, the unnatural lips of Nusrat Jahan worsen the movie experience.

The authority gives a message to the society that, even your wife does anything in your absence, even your wife sleeps with anyone, don't take step to get back her, just wait for her comeback and forget everything. Thus, promoting Adultery, Extramarital affair, Extramarital sex. How ridiculous!

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.
