Featured reviews
A poorly scripted, poorly crafted, poorly composed with huge pretention of an art film dating to last century. Some interesting architecture and beautiful outdoor locale relieved the tedium. Irfan is wasted in this Indo- Bangladesh production a year ahead of falling seriously ill.
"By going far away, we become closer to ourselves." A married filmmaker divorces his wife of 15-20 years and remarries a girl half his age, his daughter's classmate!!!! A taboo!!!. Irfan Khan gives one of the best performances of his career. Trisha as his daughter is brilliant as she depicts many shades of emotions flawlessly. Rest of the cast deliver convincing performances. A run-of-the-mill storyline but some of the aesthetics of the movie are well designed and executed and that lift the movie from a midpoint . A great watch! It was a Bangladesh entry for the Best Foreign Language film at 91st Academy Awards.
A portrayal of a fathers dilemma contradicting with a man's psychology which leads towards frustration and a never ending suffocation!
We all know the story and the characters well enough! Now if we stick to that, "Doob" might a bit bizarre and puts you in disguise! But what if we consider it as a tale of "Mr. Javed Hasan".? It's apparently palatable.
Doob is not that a pacy film but not boring either. Second half had better grip than the first. What I really feel about the film, it contains less content and ends suddenly.
Mr. Khan stole the show with minor glitches as he was apparently not use to the language and this kind of unorthodox filmmaking but he did justice to the character. I wish "Saberi" were played by Parno instead of Tisha, though both of them acted "thikthak". Bothered of Prachi's act. She might have portrayed a character of less expression but she seemed totally pale!
Talking of the filmmaking, it's the same old preset of Farooki with a bit of mature cinematography this time. Though the cinematography is utterly captivating but it got a bit overcooked as the story gets lost in it! Music and background score was good but there should have an another song! To some extent i do feel Doob is made only for the international festival purposes and not appropriate for the local hall ambiances.
The reasons behind most of the audiences are castigating Doob is that it promised a lot with keeping them waited and guessed for a long time. Nonetheless it's also uttered to be the most ambitious project of Farooki after a long hiatus which portrayed their hero! in a satirical way.
Its not Bachelor, Made in Bangladesh or even Television, it's Doob and you cannot enjoy it with a laughter. Keep calm, find an appropriate companion, expect less, forget Mr. Ahmed and concentrate on Mr. Hasan....you might love it!

The real-life events this movie is based on was a huge scandal and a movie about that is likely to catch the attention of those who have heard of the scandal. It's an art house film. It stars famous actors from Bangladesh and West Bengal. To top it off, the star is Irrfan Khan of both Bollywood and Hollywood fame. This movie should have international acclaim. Expectations are high. And it disappoints. Terrible pacing. Characters are not established well. If you didn't know the backstory, you'd be hopelessly lost. If you know the backstory, you still need to work really hard to map the fictional characters to the real-life people. The dialogue felt unnatural. And it was So. Slow. I was expecting a nuanced depiction of the scandal, but it the movie only ever scratched the surface and never dug deep. It wasted all it's time on irrelevant flashback shots.
Movie is best but there is language barrier.....................................................
