While navigating through this virtual world, Abhik develops an online relationship with a young woman, Brinda, without knowing anything about her. Brinda is a young, dynamic television journalist. For both Abhik and Brinda, who do not know each other's real names or whereabouts, this online communication soon becomes an increasingly intense relationship, more real than virtual. Ironically the virtual lovers, Abhik and Brinda have an acrimonious first meeting in the real world - at the launch of a controversial mega project of a big-time real estate entrepreneur, V.K. Mehra.

Slumdog de glorified

Just back from Antaheen.

A two hour neat poetry on celluloid, with sweetness emphasized by Rahul, Radhika, Aparna-Kalyan duo, Sharmila and the rest of the crew.

If you like poetry then its the movie for you.

Nice direction and just being opposite to Slumdog, it glorified the beauty of Kolkata.

The music is gorgeously good and among the best (if not the best of all times) in recent times Bengali movies.

Shreya's voice is really becoming haunting with every passing day. A 10/10 overall.

A movie that will move you. A 10/10 In all respects. FLAWLESS.
