Doob - No Bed of Roses

This is kind a hyped movie.but when i saw,its story is too average. It's good but not that much. It Didn't fulfil my expectations.

"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.

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.

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.

Movie is best but there is language barrier.....................................................
