Featured reviews
This film is about love between a couple. Sayani detached her connection from Asimabha about fifteen years back due to his bad activities (forgery, lie etc). Sayani is a Law officer under a Corporate Firm.The concept of Movie, "A Robibar(Sunday) changes the two lives when they meet" . Asimabha (Prasenjit Chatterjee) has performed dark character prominently and efficiently which shows his Acting ability. Jaya Ahsan (Sayani) supported to boost up Asimabha's Character and each frame of the film become effective and lively. Music by Debjyoti Mishra is very nice which gives positive balance to the movie to form a poetic love.
This film may move towards success (if so) only due to balanced Acting by the two Jaya Ahsan, Prosenjit Chatterjee and Debjyoti Mishra(Music) .
Movie has become slight lengthy require edit. There is drawback in storyline in regards to message.
The beauty of this film is the unconventional narrative and the changing perspective of its setting. Usually, a traditional reunion would take place over social occasion, business meets, or even an accident. This reunion becomes engaging all the more because it moves from one scenario to another, each locale interesting for its characteristics. The trickster has run out of tricks and luck, with no hope for tomorrow.
Given its wafer thin story line, the faith of this film purely hinged on the nature of the conversations, and the performance of its cast. It's here that the director is blessed to have Prosenjit Chatterjee and Jaya Ahsan who are almost flawless in the portrayal of their layered characters. While both Asimabha and Sayani evoke a sense of frustration, but you don't want to be judgmental about them. Morality would abhor them, particularly Asimabha, but their imperfections also brings them acceptability.
Chatterjee is exemplary in his portrayal of the sullen, despondent man. The litany of cases has clearly dragged the once self-styled magical trickster down. He's sinned a lot, but there still is an honest streak in him. That is seen from his kind gesture in adopting a street urchin. It's quite an evocative film, with abundance of subtext allowing the viewer to build his or her interpretations and it is this aspect which makes it rather niche. It's certainly not for those who want films to be ready to digest material. Infact, they might find this film to be quite a nuisance. But of you spend on concentration and sensitivity, it is quite a remarkable watch.
A romantic relationship film.The film has wonderful story line and the camera languidly follows the characters throughout the film. It's a wonderful movie in recent time.Their narrative is not unusual either.Though the film is character-driven, it is not filled with dialogues.
The storyline of this movie with two old partners expressed lot of emotions along with memories which lead to heal the moments of these two whose relations teared up many years ago.
They met after fifteen years and for a moment, the audience is swept by a strong whiff of the passion that has survived over the years. The Man dressed in black kurta is suave and presumptuous. The Lady is a trifle unsure but feels drawn to the familiar air of unsolved mystery that is quintessentially him. Her glance is a mixture of loathing, disgust and withered love.
She feels bound to stay back when he is desperate and earnest. Added to this is the intoxicating thought of wringing from him a kind of confession, not a desperate attempt to make him suffer but more of a selfish idea of using his story to be used as an ingredient in a research book penned by her.
The narrative is not a linear progression of events but more of a magnification of feelings,of what happens on a Sunday. An intense study of a relationship gone dry and dead, yet quickened to life by the random stirring caused by a chance meeting and interaction.
Sunday is a day to relax and unwind but it is also a day when official work is usually kept on hold. What happens when more and more days of life resemble a Sunday? What happens when it is hard to remember the extraordinary significance of a Sunday?
In the end, it is like a long, winding conversation between two people.The course of future rests on their hands. The past has left its irrevocable stamp. You can smell yesterday. But it cannot be stitched back seamlessly. The crack remains to taunt. Tears of regret or a deal to be made, it is essentially their choice.
