    Really fantastic movie.

    What a art. I fall in love with this movie. My tears came out after this movie. Our old culture and instantiation can demonstrate which we are today. We should never forget our culture and humanity and "Donate to the poor". It's sound bad for some people but its true "Donate to the poor" each and every person had a past. We should remember this, I specially thanks to Bibhuti Bhusan Bandyopadhyay. He is no more today but his words are still alive in our heart.

    What a drama ! Relatable for any living observer.

    Survival is the most surprising mystery. Every concious element is experiencing their life. How can you compare experiences ? Each experience is unique You better Love this drama

    Best Bengali movie of the decade

    Pros: 1. Acting and innocence of Chotu and Gopal. 2. Story of Bibhutibhusan. 3. Cinematography. 4. Portrayal of rural Bengal and its seasons. 5. Two dream sequences. The first one was really eerie.

    Cons: 1. Not meant for general Bengali/Indian audience who liked Dev/Bhai.

    Transparent portrayal of Rural Bengal; beautiful work

    Absolutely beautiful work, transparent portrayal of the rural bengal. This is how a script, cinematography, acting, sound, editing, direction should be. Stunning film, extremely emotional, not recommended for the audiences who always prefers to keep their brain at home and come to the theatres just to relax, because you won't find fake glamour, loud music and dancing and an irrelevant script here.
