Review of Borunbabur Bondhu

It either is a bad film, or has a storyline which is soaking in melodrama (and colonial hangover for sure) so thick that it is soggy now, again and again since "Ballygunge Court", or better, from "Bhalo Theko". Somebody in a group mentioned it as a hybrid of "Cinemawala" (indica) and "Basu Poribar" (sativa), I can see why. Avik Mukhopadhyay could not save the movie with his beautiful efforts through lens. Even it was painful to see how the smart scene cutting choices taken by Arghyakamal Mitra was not used properly. One of the very few films to show all the seasons of a year in similarly boring way and now, even "Meghnad Badh Rahasya" seems cooler.
