Magnificent movie
I usually never review a film. This is my first review. Bioscopewala is a beautiful film, its a perfect adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's kabuliwala.
Bioscopewala is the story of Rehmat Khan (Danny Denzongpa), a man uprooted from his homeland. He depends upon his bioscope for livelihood and emotional sustenance. After fleeing from his country, he ends up in Calcutta, where he befriends 5 year old minnie who is of the same age as his own daughter.
Danny Denzongapa is the star of the movie. All the actors bring life to their characters. This movie inhabits the various shades of affection and complexities of human relationship. Watched such a good movie after a long time.
a wonderful adaptation of the classic
The movie is a contemporary adaptation of the much loved classic short story "Kabuliwala" by Rabindranath Tagore.It deals with a spectrum of incidents and emotion without overdoing it and that's the best part about this film.All the actors portray poignant and powerful performances.Honestly, I did'nt expect it to be this good before actually watching the movie.It sure packs a surprise for everyone.The cinematography is exemplary , production design is fabulous ( I could see lot of effort has gone into it ) and direction is superlative . Overall it's the kind of cinema I have not seen in a long time.Kudos to everyone involved in this project.
Give this a go you will not regret it - Shame these types of films do not get better recognition
It's extremely frustrating when poor, predictable and lifeless bollywood films keep becoming box office hits whilst films such as these are only seen by a minority.
This a is fantastically directed film which is extremely thought provoking. The character build ups are so well entwined as part of a magical journey. The acting is superb and the plot is magnificent.
It touches upon social issues and historic events and you are left at the edge of your seat to learn more about the lead character.
Unlike many Hindi films, this is not buttered up to the audience to give what the mainstream audience usually wants.
Ditch the mainstream and you will not regret for a moment what is a well crafted, emotional story.
