    The Affair

    An unfaithful wife becomes jealous when his lover is going to marry a girl. Her husband is tolerant all the way even knowing her infidelity. On the other hand, a self made businessman is eager to know the meaning of an English word his banker considers him.

    Spoiler ahead!!!!!!

    Two parallel story. One is, Mosharraf Karim, a businessman, looking for a word meaning buying a dictionary. The English word his banker told him. His son argue with the banker for correct meaning. However, Mosharraf Karim is the best, even in foreign, he proved it.

    The other one is, Abir Chatterjee, where he is a good-for-nothing husband of Nusrat Jahan. His wife is making love with another man, but knowing everything he has no feeling, no reaction, no backwash, not a single word. He is infirm all in all. His wife making sex with her lover and then when her lover got married, she comeback to her husband and then she makes sex with her husband. Her husband has no reaction, no huff, just doing sex and forget everything, forgetting this, that his wife once (may be several times) slept with another man, and he has nothing to say. One of the least self-respect and stupid man in the world. By the way, the unnatural lips of Nusrat Jahan worsen the movie experience.

    The authority gives a message to the society that, even your wife does anything in your absence, even your wife sleeps with anyone, don't take step to get back her, just wait for her comeback and forget everything. Thus, promoting Adultery, Extramarital affair, Extramarital sex. How ridiculous!

    Worst Movie By Bratya Basu

    The chemistry between Boudi and Suman was not clear at all. It was without any starting or ending. Mosharrf Karim was good as usual. But, movie was not upto the mark.

    Not even a one time watch

    "Dictionary" is a Bengali language drama film which was released in 2021, directed by Bratya Basu. The movie is based on two short stories "Baba howa" and "Swami howa" written by Buddhadeb Guha. Mosharraf Karim, Abir and Nusrat are the protagonists. Mosharraf plays the role of a businessman who can't communicate in English. Abir is an introvert forest officer and Nusrat plays the role of his wife. She has an extra marital affair with Mosharraf's brother in law.

    The trailer was very promising so I decided to give it a watch. First of all, Thanks to Nusrat. She took the half responsibility for spoiling the movie. The onscreen adaption is very bad. Script writing and dialogue delivery both are pathetic. Abir's performance is typical as usual. The only good thing is the performance of Mosharraf Karim. He's the reason, I spent my valuable time for. The climax is also very disappointing. Seems like it has a forceful ending.

    According to me, "Dictionary" is not even a one time watch movie. Watch it at your own risk.
