Once, Rituparno Ghosh said 'I don't make Bengali films. I make international films in Bengali language'. And that's actually I sensed today while watching 'Macher Jhol'. A movie made for international market in Bengali language featuring veteran actress Mamata Shankar, Paoli Dam and Ritwick Chakraborty. Other popular actors who were roped in for Macher Jhol are Sauraseni Maitra and Sanjoy Nag.
This movie simply narrates our Bengali culture and masochism of it that forges wALL for blossoming flowers who aspire to achieve their dream.
Dream, five letter word same as your five fingers, if you are covetous to protect it, it will surely take you to zenith by holding your finger and evolving it into a punch for ALL. And that punch has been narrated in this film by Pratim. A real punch indeed! Not only this film will motivate you to aspire whatever thing you have in your heart and mind mutually, however will also inspire you to be independent while choosing your ambition/decision with a courage to share that talent later so that you can be also someone's motivation.
And about Ritwick Chakraborty, I was, am, and will always be his fan. I can't explain him. His works explain him. You really sway me Sir. Every piece is just a master piece. You are leaving a shelf of magnum opuses behind for the upcoming future.
And not the least, being a foodie I could haven't missed this movie. Enjoyed it. Learned too.
Thanks for reading.
