Abohaman-The movie

Today i went to watch the movie 'Abohaman' with my mom n friend Rittika. The movie is being directed by Famous Rituparno Ghosh. His work is always being praised by everyone. But i myself is not much familiar with his movies coz i dont watch much Bengali films. But from the last year onwards i have started to watch Bengali movies(only the meaningful ones,obviously!)...Few months back i watched Rituda's last 'Sob Choritro Kalponik'. It was a bit difficult for me to digest though!

But 'Abohaman' is(according to me) much easier to interpret and u can easily understand what it wants to depict... It deals with a famous director Aniket(Dipankar) and his family and his extra marital affair with the heroine of his movie! Mamata Sankar as Deepti, the director's wife, Jisshu Sengupta as Apratim a.k.a Apu, his son and Ananya Chatterjee as Sikha, the heroine in his movie. Sikha comes to Aniket to work in his movie...but she is being liked more by his wife Deepti than him...so he selects him. Deepti helps Sikha to get accustomed to the new world of cinema(as until then she was just a small actor in theatres) and helps her to learn many things besides inspiring her to deliver perfect scenes. Sikha once tries to allure the director but he didn't respond! Aniket initially didn't give her much attention and used to humiliate her so much so that one day Sikha thinks of leaving the film halfway but Deepti makes her understand and to hold on the roll! Gradually, Aniket got involved with Sikha which was easily understood by his wife Deepti! So there arises the family problem! Their son Apratim supports his mother fully. Deepti makes everything clear with Aniket and tells him that she is not going to protest against anything although she is hurt! She endures the pain without ever complaining! This continues until the day when finally Aniket dies! Sikha comes running, leaving all her work, to their place, shedding tears...Deepti is not shedding any tears though she is obviously sad! Apu wants to make a film based on his father's real life, which his father himself wanted to do with him before dying!!

Ananya Chatterjee's acting is very good...Dipankar, Mamata and Jisshu were good too. The movie is worth watching... It basically tells how the life of a director is and of his family... 'Abohaman' means something that continues... so this string of events continues...

My rating for the movie:***1/2.

U can also post your own rating and share with me how u liked the movie...

That's all for today!

Good Night!
