I just wanted to watch Chirodini tumi je amar 2 just because I was surprised to see a commercial Bengali movie getting 7.7 rating on IMDb. As I started watching it, I was actually quite bored because of a slow paced linear narration of mundane life of Bhanu (Arjun Chakrabarty). It felt like a one sided charmless love story ( The feelings of Bhanu for Jyoti (Urmila Mahanta)). Things changed when the narration of Shreya (Ena Saha)began and we went deep into the story. Despite the linear narration, you'll start to empathize for Bhanu for his selfless love to save Jyoti who was accidentally burnt by Raj (Bibhu Mukherjee) who actually wanted to harm Shreya. Bhanu cloud not understand the game the inspector (Kharaj Mukherjee) was playing with him and took the blame. A Gift of the Magi situation set in as Bhanu's sacrifice couldn't help his lady love. But the ending will simply move you to see how Jyoti would understand Bhanu's eternal love for her and how she'd sacrifice for him.
I'd have given this move a mare 4/10 rating for being a hugely charmless, however last 10-15 mins was AMAZING.... yes AMAZING! I'd misjudge it if I don't rate it 7/10. I'll be honest... this is not a must watch. However, If you watch this movie till the end you'll definitely love this South remake (though I didn't watch the original south movie).
And again, the song "Eka ekela e mon (Solitary mind in solitude)" is mind boggling!
