        Thought provoking!!!

        A Monpura, a hiatus of 9 years and Swapnajaal!

        Set in 90's, Swapnajaal is a story of whimsical Apu and the girl next door Shuvra. The story engenders and revives accross the southern riverin of Bengal where their unconditional love endeavors between the animosity and religious boundary!

        While Monpura was largely attributed to music and remained as a visual treat, Swapnajaal has a intriguing story with an unorthodox ending which apparently leaves the audience in quandary and might be worth of some critical analysis if not acclamation!

        Shuvra might be the best work of Porimoni till date. I would say it's apparently the best from any of her contemporaries in recent times. Besides, I found Rohan a bit pale as the character Apu urged slightly more emotion!

        Talking about the supporting cast, Babu nails it with his provocative act as a notorious and humorous trader. Apart from this, Iresh acted brilliantly as partner in crime to Babu and at some instance you would start feeling as if he stole the show from the big man. Nonetheless, Shacchu, Misha, Ashis Chakrobarty and others did justice to their roles.

        In reviewing visual and technical aspects, I found the cinematography quite captivating besides music and background score could have been better.

        Being grown up by watching films like Dahan, Alo, Unishe April, Rajkahini, Belasheshe, I always thought and questioned our ability to make films like those. But, then came films like Shrabon Megher Din, Joyjatra, Monpura and now Swapnajaal. It's a rare virtue of being an original scriptwriter and a Director at the same time. Giasuddin Selim perhaps lives up to that virtue as his most ambitious project since Monpura meeting expectations.

        Swapnajaal makes you laugh, makes you cry, leaves you in enigma but eventually don't disapoints you rather quenches your thirst big time!

        Hail Swapnajaal, Hail Bangla cinema!

        Two thumbs up!

        Wish I had seen it earlier, on Big Screen

        Watching Hollywood movies, it is pretty normal to think film industry in BD is way behind. As an engineering student again as a movie lover, I always prefer choose movies to watch precisely. When you're a movie lover yet busy, you do not have the luxury to explore movies which are not that famous. And taking a little faith in Giasuddin Selim, who is famous for his work 'Monpura', I chose to watch his latest work 'Swapnajaal'.

        And I'm disappointed. Not because I watched it, because I didn't watch on Big Screen. I could've showed my support to him, no matter how small it is, inspiring him to keep up this work. Salute.

        Even the plot rotate around two love birds, this film reflects the sick mentality of the society itself. It has shown the tendency of powerful people to take over other's property, no matter how brutal actions require. How people take advantages when someone needs help instead of supporting him/her. This film works as a mirror that reflects our own dark sides.

        I often think, Bangali films takes long time to tell a simple story (about 2hours+). Most of the directors do not cut out unnecessary shots thinking how much effort they did on those shots. This long journey makes viewers to lose their focus on the subject. 'Swapojaal' also has running time for about 2 hours 20 minutes. But Giasuddin made this long journey worth every second. Each detail was necessary to viewers. So, if you're still thinking if you should watch it or not, read next paragrap.

        If you're looking for a teenage love drama, you are not suitable for this. This story revolves around far more and beyond.

        In the end, I'd like to appreciate Pori Moni's effort in this. She changed the way I thought about her before. She indeed can act and with proper guidance she will rule Bangladesh Film Industry in future. I pray for her success.

        Best Romantic Movie in Bangladesh

        A film from the highly acclaimed director of Monpura, where starring most popular actress Pori Moni. The story of the film about the love of a young couple.

        Kamrul Hasan Khasru's cinematography is all but flawless, and the art direction (by Anworul Haque and Samar Halder) is also commendable, especially in the latter part of the film.

        Set in the riverside Chandpur suburbs of the '90s, "Swapnajaal" at its core is the story of Opu (Yash Rohan) and Shuvra (Pori Moni), two teenagers in 'young love'. Their blooming romance take a dramatic turn south when conniving influential businessman Aynal Gazi (Fazlur Rahman Babu), with the help of his trusted aide Thandu (Iresh Zaker) tactfully oust Shuvra and her family from their home. Opu fights back to bring justice to Shuvra's family and to get back his love, but even after justice is served, there are bigger obstacles on the way to their reunion.

        It is the Best Romantic Movie in Bangladesh.

        Masterpiece!!

        "Swapnajaal" is remarkable just because Pori Moni isn't gratingly over the top as she is in most movies. "Swapnajaal" is well-scripted and well-acted with gorgeous visuals shot on location in Bangladesh & India. It's a charming film with wit fresh enough for a modern audience. Gias Uddin Selim out all the elements with care and precision The movie remains a great tonic.
