    A must watch

    A brilliant movie which gave us a lesson that we should not hate people who have different taste. We should respect their feelings and should not try to suppress them.

    A must watch!!

    A great movie about a topic that is considered taboo in our society.

    Beautiful

    The movie is great. I watched the movie without watching the trailer and I really liked the pace and slow unravellling of the plot of the movie.

    The change in emotion is shown very subtly in a movie like in a song or just with a music and expression .

    I feel the trailer gives away few things so if you have watched the trailer you may not like the movie that much.

    When I started watching the movie I was only aware of a person who is staying at house for a period of time and all the questions that came in the protagonist (nephew of the person) was similar to the question coming in viewer mind and it was like each layer is peeled so slowly and swiftly that you just love and live each of the beautiful moments.

    PS. I am a non Bengali viewer and have seen that many people like to give high rating because of love for their movies dialect or region and when you watch it you think the movie is overrated but this rating is not because of any bias or pre-notion.

    A different life, a different world

    Not everyone we meet is like you and me. There are people in our society who are different, feel and live differently, their desires and needs are not what you and I can understand easily. Their lives therefore aren't distorted, but exist in parallel or in congruence to ours - accepting it will make their existence a bit easier.

    Arko (Riddhi Sen) returns to his material grandfather's home for university studies after 12 long years. Having lost his parents to a accident at a very young age, he is not particularly attached to anyone and finds the home stifling. But here he rediscovers how his uncle Sujon (Parambrata) is held confined to his room on the terrace and isn't allowed to leave home, often labelled as mentally unstable by the rest of the household. Sujon comes across as helpless, troubled, often depressed and detached, yet artistic in his existence. His younger brother Kaushik wants him to be shifted to an asylum and subjects Sujon to physical persecution. Arko takes it upon himself, partnering with his girlfriend Titli (Surangana Banerjee) to alleviate Sujon of his alleged mental illness, consulting a psychiatrist for his treatment, much to the chagrin of some of the family. But it is for Arko to ready himself for dealing with the consequences, and the disturbing findings may change the world around him forever.

    Parambrata is outstanding in the sensitive portrayal of Sujon, giving credibility to the character. Riddhi Sen is all talent and remotes the volatile Arko with poise. Soumitra Chatterjee, Kushal Chakraborty, Surangana Banerjee, Tanushree Chakraborty and Aparajita Adhya lend able support. Anindya Pulak Banerjee is typecast. The music by Indraadip Dasgupta is haunting.

    Let it be finished at the end!!!

    Different concept of the story about what we the people think of hermaphrodite...
