Though I've seen lots of Hindi movies, never been a big fan of them. Mainly because of their similar themes, very obvious ending, bad acting, overacting, useless songs, unrelated characters and jokes, twisting historic facts and famous novels beyond recognition, etc.
But this movie is a piece of art. I've enjoyed other movies by Mr. Rituparno Ghosh, but this is different. The only thing I can say is I've felt and been moved this way only after watching very few movies in my entire life.
To me this movie is essentially a love story but a very pragmatic one. The scripts, directing and acting are absolutely top class. I'd say Mr. Ghosh is the best director in India after Satyajit Ray.
This movie is easily in my top 5 movies. Hopefully it'll get nominated for Oscar and I'm confident it has a superb chance of winning it.
