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.

A few lines about movie "Lokkhi chele"

#Public Craze: Despite heavy rains, the film was houseful on Saturday (27-08-2022) . This shows how much love people have for director Sri Kaushik Ganguly and his film.

#What's good: This is a film with a message, the Children who are not twins but some part of their twin comes in to them from the time of birth, rather they do not have a body like normal children, but become four arms Which may also a threat to their lives if they are not normal. By the way, the awareness, among the public and parents towards such children, inspires to cure them by operation either or medical treatment and not calling her / him a God or Goddess by making them a means of earning on threat of a some cunning and cleaver people of the society.

#What's Bad : To save the life of the girl and for medical treatment, the mother of the girl is handing over the girl to the three junior doctors and turns back to her house . There an FIR is lodged in the local police station of that locality as It is a serious crime/offence while the mother of the child herself declares that the child has gone missing. Though the investigation as well as search of the missing Lokhhi is not shown visually by the Police Administration which is necessary , but of course in verse it is stated.

#Story of the film :

Amir (Ujjan Ganguly) with his two Junior Doctors and one reporter friend visit the village where a Girl Child with four arms has made famous as Goddess and Worshiped due to her Abnormal physique with some extra parts of the body. When Amir advised to touch her feet for blessings, he feels and notices, she has fever around 101 or 102. Exactly on that point, a touch of an angle, forces him to think about the girl involuntarily . He tells the fact to the rest of his friends that if such being the condition, then it is dangerous and may tends to death if she is not treated Properly. They stay their and come to know that one powerful person named Rajat Roy (Indrashish Riy) of that locality taking advantage of the abnormal body of that child and uses her for his personal earnings by making belief in the villagers that that female child is incarnation of Goddess.

After that all the three junior doctors including reporters together, especially Aamir , through his acquaintance Doctor Mitali (Churni Ganguly) and other associates , what circumstances he faces in making that child girl look and live like a normal child, it is necessary to watch the film. You will get at the end, the humanity is the only religion ofcourse undefeated and powerful which stands over any religion.

#What Actors Score :

The three junior doctor Including Amir (Ujjan Ganguly) and Reporter have been presented in natural way . In fact they can be noticed that they are acting their Characters lively. The Grandfather (Prabir Bhattacharya, a fine actor) of the Child Girl , her mother, father are completely Honest with their characters . Rest of actors also acted very well and seen to be supportive to the film with their Natural Appearance.

#Direction : Since the film is a directorial media, therefore what the director wants to show and the way he wants to show it, the audience is equally visible. Although there can be many ways to show the essence of the said film, but how important it is for your audience to understand is entirely up to the director. KAUSHIK GANGULI Sir is expert in this and he exactly did with this film .

#Lastly, after the end of the Show Producers (Shibo Prasad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy), Director & Writer (Kaushik Ganfuly) and Casts are seen in happy mood. Producers addressed the audiences and say directly their words to the Audiences. Director Kaushik Ganguly ofcourse was pleased to see the houseful audiences. Kaushik Ganguly, in the mean time when addressing the Audiences, become centimental towards launching his son Ujjan Ganguly thru this film .

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.

Movie is average with story,editing and story even could be better...Few areas are highly unrealistic and over streched.... Many sections could be edited in a better way.. The overall composition is good compared to other Bengali movies..The social life and superstition of rural Bengal is well established.. Characters have done average acting..Even to be very honest there was minimum scope of good acting, Few events that are shown in the film is highly unrealistic and could be handled in much better way...music composition and placement as well as camera rolling were good...Location of shooting is good.

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.
