      Tale of a young doctor...

      unique idea as expected from Mr.Atanu Ghosh who has already shown his brilliance in Angshumaner Chobi..he has shown how varied and diverse human relationships can be ignoring time, space,race,cast,creed..and so on.The movie swings between imagination and reality and is henceforth quite engaging!!..great psychological exploration by the director...A young doctor craves for a porn star played by Paoli..But things take a different turn when the doctor,Tamodeep(Jishu)meets her as a patient..small nuances have been presented wonderfully.!!Indrani Haldar plays a fantastic role as Jishu's teacher who tries to mould him differently!!..One will find various characters with their different motives and emotions...considering from both plot and character,it is an excellent and a must-watch movie!!
