Unofficial Review: Madly Bangalee

The official review of Madly Bangalee is up on ILK. Here comes the link: http://www.ilovekolkata.in/index.php/Movies/-Madly-Bangalee-A-review.html

Roshni I think did a hell of a good job in the movie. That's really what she should be doing. More than anything else. I got all teary-eyed and very proud seeing her in some of the scenes in the film. I'm secretly glad I didn't get to meet her after the movie, I wouldn't have been able to say a word. It's kind of hard to put it into words, but I'm very very very proud of her. (But for future reference, it's kinda weird sitting next to mother of actor-friend when a steamy or even vaguely steamy scene is on. To be avoided.)

Btw... my unofficial review is that the film is lovely. It's complex but seems managed so simply. And I adore the songs. Neel Dutt - who cares if you look like a cartoon character I don't quite remember - some of those songs are unbelievable.

Watch the movie for:
1) The scene with Neon and his drunk father, where old man tells his son to stay away from addiction.
2) Anjan Dutt. Especially the first song he sings. The dancing with Lew Hilt is lotsa fun.
3) Neel's songs and everyday scenes from Kolkata - Dharmatala, AJC Bose Road Flyover seemed quite popular.
4) Baaji's religion-identity speech & the scenes with Benji and Joy's mother.
5) My friend is in it!
6) My another-friend is in it. See if you can spot her.

Yes, I got the official review's link on my Twitter. And if you are to be believed, Anjan Dutt has finally decided to go beyond mediocre. Want to see it - pl send pirated DVD ASAP!

Ei I feel like watching this film. Oh and I kind of think this Tanaji person was my senior in college and I remember this story that used to do the rounds..about him...once on being asked why he was late for class...he said something like

"Aamar barir shamne gachh bhenge pore chhilo tai ami main door khulte parchhilam na"

I have no idea why I am writing a blog post in you comment space....and after the aila its not even funny....I mean the story...but three years back, it was very funny.

ok i will stop now.
