While watching this series, you might find that nearly everything seems right, yet leaves you unsatisfied. It's a puzzle of sorts, where something crucial seems to be missing, and the feeling lingers. Firstly, Saswata Chatterjee's appearance might disappoint. He seemed to be at his best in the prequel "Proloy," and even in movies he played the role of "Shabar Dashgupta." However, here, he appears aged and bulky, no longer fitting the role of Animesh Dutta perfectly. Many, including myself, have revisited the short clips from the "Proloy" movie countless times on platforms like Facebook and YouTube. Those moments still captivate us, pulling us back for repeated viewings. Regrettably, that same fire is noticeably absent in "Abar Proloy". Despite its attempts, the series struggles to rekindle the brilliance of the original "Proloy."
Moreover, the suspense that was once a hallmark is now lacking. The predictability starts right from the beginning, leaving no room for any genuine intrigue. For all its efforts, it fails to ensnare the audience's curiosity. On a positive note, I'm awarding it a 6-star rating for the extended screen time of the top stars of the Bengal Film Industry. Saswata Chatterjee, Paran Banerjee, and Ritwik Chakraborty continue to shine, making their presence enjoyable day after day. The ensemble cast includes other accomplished artists as well, yet the series falls short of harnessing even half of their potential.

Can a piece of art centered around Pankaj Tripathi ever be deemed "bad"? The acting prowess of two distinguished actors, the protagonist Ram Gopal Bajaj and the remarkable Pankaj Tripathi, is undeniably top-notch. The narrative revolves around a Hindu doctor named Ram Gopal Bajaj, afflicted by dementia, who yearns to revisit his father's ancestral home before losing his cherished childhood memories. The journey unfolds as he embarks on foot, setting out from his home with resolute determination.
In a poignant twist of fate, a Muslim autorickshaw driver encounters him at a bus station, where he remains, allowing buses on his route to pass him by. The doctor had previously saved the driver's son's life without expecting anything in return. This act of kindness creates a sense of obligation in the driver, driving him to reciprocate the favor. With no knowledge of the destination, the driver warmly welcomes the doctor into his autorickshaw, commencing a journey that extends beyond geographical miles. A journey that traverses the harrowing distress people endured during and post-partition of India in 1947 and poignantly underscores how those events continue to reverberate in lives today. This film masterfully portrays the profound impacts of the partition, the scars it left, and how individuals coped, highlighting that life, even after enduring such adversity, persists and triumphs.
As the doctor urges multiple stops at places steeped in personal history, the bond between the Hindu doctor and the Muslim autorickshaw driver deepens, painting an enduring portrait of unity amidst a divided past. This very aspect underscores a powerful message: that the divide between people cannot be drawn by mere border lines alone and that the nuances of human connection transcend such divisions.
The canvas of this cinematic creation is painted in the English language, a choice perhaps attributed to the English director. While seemingly unconventional for an Indian audience, I found myself captivated, even revisiting fragments of the film. However, I find it shocking that not many have rated and reviewed this film, implying that its reach has likely been unjustly limited.
In conclusion, I implore you to experience this cinematic gem for yourself. Sharing this recommendation brings me immense joy, as it feels like sharing a piece of my heart. It's a film that reiterates that history's ink cannot erase the resilience of the human spirit, nor can it sever the threads that bind us together.
