Beline

Beline started with interesting visuals and incidents, but I was confused where the story is going. By the end of the first half the story and making has created enough impact to make me curious. The second half disturbed me with the story and brilliant acting by main three actors. The film was so engaging that we couldn't understand if it was the screenplay or the edit that made this happen. The last 10 minutes were mind blowing. It blew everyone in the theatres. The twist in the story was unimaginably good. It answered all the questions or doubts we had during the film. The music played a big role to make this film so engaging. Looking forward to more good films by this team and producer.

Started watching Beline thinking it was one thing, ended up completely surprised! The story takes some really unexpected and wild turns and it kept e guessing the whole time. Also the visuals are just amazing- seriously stunning shots that set the mood perfectly. This movie is not your usual psychological thriller types. It is a bit slow at times because the story needs that plausible effect to prepare audience for what's coming next. The ending is a revelation that makes everything come together. The background score is complementing the mood of the script. Some of the scenes are so gripping that I was moved beyond words. I recommend watching this movie 🎬

A compact storyline with an intelligent making, visually pleasing film.

Treatment, cinematography, edit and background music especially make the film strongest in cinematic aspects.

This Independent relatively "small film" transcends the realm of a typical psychological thriller, immersing YOU , the viewer into a hall of mirrors .

At a time when Bengali Cinema has been going downhill for years , this is the kind of film that might just bring in a different conversation, a different perception and a HOPE.

Hope for maybe better time at the movies, perhaps.

If there's one Bengali film you watch in 2024, let it be Beline .

A psychological thriller. And oh does it deliver absolute craziness on a platter. The set up went on for a little longer but it hooks you enough to keep your eyes glued to the screen. The brilliant cinematography and direction made every frame picturesque. I loved the writing. It felt like watching a carefully crafted screenplay that doesn't leave any loose ends. And the climax just seals the deal!

I wonder what absolute chaos must be lurking inside the storyteller's head.

Aapko kabhi wrong number se phone aaya hai? Yeh vo wrong number wala phone call hai jo aap chaah ke bhi nahi kaat sakte!

Beline is one of the finest bengali movie that i have seen in recent times. Loved the camera work,editing and the sound design.

The Lead cast delivered Brilliant performances specially Paran Bandyopadhyay and Shreya Bhattacharjee.

Great screenplay loved the way the director shown loneliness and psychological aspects of the characters. Didn't see the twist coming .Over all a it's very unique film which keeps you engaged from start to the end.

"Independent" in probably the most undiluted sense of the term, Samik Roy Choudhury 's 'Beline' orchestrates it's unnarrated narrative in an unprecedented style, not giving a single damn to cater to the growing impatience of the "market" (which cannot wait for a "content" to unfold itself rapidly thereby reaching it's optimal apotheosis within the span of 30 seconds).

Films made here , (a brief list of some of which includes - Beline , Badami Haynar Kobole, ChalChitra ekhon, Jhilli, etc. Are being consistently instrumental since the last few years, in proving beyond doubt, that if Cinema really has a scope of plurality, it is of the Voice, not of the Language. Cinema is essentially the medium which requires multiplicity of Voice , on whichever layer that is; no matter if it involves only the denotative aspect of the screen or the connotative as well. However, it never, NEVER calls for multiplicity of Language. That is the only exception, where all the vibrant open ends join and club together into a gigantic VIBGYOR! Which is composed of "many" but put to effect in it's 'Oneness'. And hence "language" in case of Cinema, can never be used as a shield of lame excuses.

Cinema makes all it's implications in only One language.

And that language - is called "Cinema" .

This is what qualifies the viewing procedure, not into a semi-didactic session, but into an Experience.
