Beline

Beline isn't a movie you watch, it's a movie you experience. It's a symphony of sight and sound, weaving together a tapestry of reality and illusion that challenges your perception. The narrative unfolds like a dream, blurring the lines between past, present, and future. This isn't a film for those seeking clear-cut answers; it's an invitation to introspection, urging you to question your own understanding of the world.

Beline is not without flaws. The pacing can be deliberate at times, demanding patience from the viewer. However, the payoff is a truly unique cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll. It's a film that rewards repeat viewings, as new layers of meaning reveal themselves with each encounter.

If you're seeking a thought-provoking film that will stay with you long after the credits roll, Beline is a must-watch. Just be prepared to have your perceptions challenged.

A compact storyline with an intelligent making, visually pleasing film.

Treatment, cinematography, edit and background music especially make the film strongest in cinematic aspects.

This Independent relatively "small film" transcends the realm of a typical psychological thriller, immersing YOU , the viewer into a hall of mirrors .

At a time when Bengali Cinema has been going downhill for years , this is the kind of film that might just bring in a different conversation, a different perception and a HOPE.

Hope for maybe better time at the movies, perhaps.

If there's one Bengali film you watch in 2024, let it be Beline .

The actors are phenomenal in their characters. Their performance is so raw and real, it pulls you right into the story. The visuals are amazing too - they create this dreamlike atmosphere that perfectly complements the emotional abstractness of the storyline. Beline isn't a feel-good movie, but it's a powerful one. It's a film that will stay with you long after you watch it, making you think about life, loss, and what it means to be human...the whole existential crisis thing. But it does it in a way that's both honest and hopeful. I have never seen a Bengali psychological thriller so well crafted and technically sound in recent years.

Beline is one of the finest bengali movie that i have seen in recent times. Loved the camera work,editing and the sound design.

The Lead cast delivered Brilliant performances specially Paran Bandyopadhyay and Shreya Bhattacharjee.

Great screenplay loved the way the director shown loneliness and psychological aspects of the characters. Didn't see the twist coming .Over all a it's very unique film which keeps you engaged from start to the end.

"Independent" in probably the most undiluted sense of the term, Samik Roy Choudhury 's 'Beline' orchestrates it's unnarrated narrative in an unprecedented style, not giving a single damn to cater to the growing impatience of the "market" (which cannot wait for a "content" to unfold itself rapidly thereby reaching it's optimal apotheosis within the span of 30 seconds).

Films made here , (a brief list of some of which includes - Beline , Badami Haynar Kobole, ChalChitra ekhon, Jhilli, etc. Are being consistently instrumental since the last few years, in proving beyond doubt, that if Cinema really has a scope of plurality, it is of the Voice, not of the Language. Cinema is essentially the medium which requires multiplicity of Voice , on whichever layer that is; no matter if it involves only the denotative aspect of the screen or the connotative as well. However, it never, NEVER calls for multiplicity of Language. That is the only exception, where all the vibrant open ends join and club together into a gigantic VIBGYOR! Which is composed of "many" but put to effect in it's 'Oneness'. And hence "language" in case of Cinema, can never be used as a shield of lame excuses.

Cinema makes all it's implications in only One language.

And that language - is called "Cinema" .

This is what qualifies the viewing procedure, not into a semi-didactic session, but into an Experience.

A psychological thriller. And oh does it deliver absolute craziness on a platter. The set up went on for a little longer but it hooks you enough to keep your eyes glued to the screen. The brilliant cinematography and direction made every frame picturesque. I loved the writing. It felt like watching a carefully crafted screenplay that doesn't leave any loose ends. And the climax just seals the deal!

I wonder what absolute chaos must be lurking inside the storyteller's head.
