Ravening

There are movies which follow the popular trend and whose story can be easily predicted and there there are those movies which break the stereotyping and give the audience absolutely a new kind of taste. Amis falls firmly in the second category. With a story that gives a weird definition to love, Aamis will haunt you for many hours after you leave the theater. The only complain I have is that the ending could have been a bit different . I mean a 'wanting for more' kinda ending would have been a perfect desert (at least for me).

Some stories run seamless and you become a part of the narrative ~ engrossed and emotions play out in your mind...you are no longer an audience.

Aamis is definitely one of them. You feel the characters, Dr. Nirmali's inner transitions or Sumon's desperation.

For me it s a full on "watch again" movie...all credit goes to the writer-director, Bhaskar, his cast and the entire team. He has succeeded in giving the audience back what they didn't come for.

In all it's subtleness the movie takes you deeper into a realm you never thought could become so dominant by the time the it ends...the ripples reached my dinner table...Aamis or Niraamis? But thankfully I managed my emotions well...it was Aamis for me.

But effect lives on...

As someone described it as "sinster version of The Lunchbox" - yeah.

P.S The lead actress is so beautiful. 😍

Amazingly plotted and placed. Lovely presentation. The movie seems to be inspired from the story of Armin Meiwes and Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes.

I do not understand Assamese language. I wasn't even aware they had a film industry there. Got a few recommendations on YouTube and I rented this movie online just to give it a try. I was blown away by the unusual story line. The movie whichs initially starts as a new found friendship between a young research scholar and a married doctor, turns into an intriguing discovery of their shared love for food. Sometimes, there is a very thin line between doing something we love and doing something that's wrong. The movie shows this transition making us realise how a need could turn into an ugly thirst for more.
