Byomkesh O Agniban
Directorspeak: Anjan Dutt
Feedback: People are saying this is my best Byomkesh Bakshi film till date. They have loved the performances, the look and feel of the film, the two-story-mash-up (Agniban and Uposhonghar). The film has a lot of energy.
High points of audience response: The climax which is very thrilling. Jisshu as Byomkesh is fantastic.
Why watch it this Puja: It’s more cinematic than my previous Byomkesh films, and people are enjoying the new experience.
Pictures: Shuvo Roychaudhury
Projapoti Biskut
Directorspeak: Anindya Chattopadhyay
Feedback: The audience have accepted Ishaa and Aditya as a new screen couple. The music of the film is already a hit.
High points of audience response: The exchange between Shantilal Mukherjee and Aparajita Adhya in their Howrah home; Rajatava Dutta’s lines.
Why watch it this Puja: You will get to see ektu bhalobasha and a fresh lead pair.
Cockpit
Directorspeak: Kamaleswar Mukherjee
Feedback: People have really liked the subject (about a pilot who is steering a flight caught in turbulence), they have found the idea fresh and new. They didn’t expect a film like this to happen here. Dev, Rukmini (Maitra) and Koel (Mallick) have successfully portrayed their characters.
High points of audience response: The last half an hour of the film; it’s a nail-biting, edge-of-the-seat experience for the audience. The funny lines of Ambarish and others. Also, when you are telling the story of a journey with passengers on a plane or train or ship, a cross section of people come together, and this assemblage of people on a flight is one of the highlights.
Why watch it this Puja: The subject. And you’ll get to watch Dev playing a pilot. He looks amazing in uniform.
