it seems bengali cinema has come of age holding the hands of director tathagata banerjee. this movie is epic and may set milestones for directors of the future generations and story telling will find a new dimension. the characters played by paoli, parambrata, indrasish are real characters so are the moments with the media. sreeporna's character was played out by the girl was awesome for a debutante. she will grab eyes of many. as the movie unfolds and is built up to the climax will keep you glued to the seat. parambrata hats off to you. you were great. a must watch movie for all and for budding film-makers.

Not a Love Story
(2011)
A must watch movie...
19 August 2011
Today i went to see Not a Love Story. Watching the trailers was quiet overwhelming for me. So couldn't miss it. Entered the movie theater with quiet high expectations for this RGV film. He was the one who i looked forward to but he seemed to have lost his touch a little. But this time he comes out with a bang. The first sequence of the movie gets you in the groove. Then you start expecting. Which he delivered. The cast i am speechless by the performance of Mahie Gill and Deepak Dobriyal. Hats off to you both, especially Mahie Gill. She stood out as once Urmila used to. She was the one only who could do justice to the role. The first half you just can't take your eyes off. The plot and the performance and the camera was awesome, and was beautifully done. The second half gets a bit slow which i think was a bit of stretching but hey then also you just stay glued to the seat. The music drives you crazy.The ending was very unexpected but quiet good. Last but not the least direction!!! Hats off to your RGV. You are back. Guys go and watch it on the big screen, i bet it would be worth the money.
Very bad adaptation to end the epic tale

Warning: Spoilers
*contains spoilers.
I saw the movie a few days back and was utterly disappointed with David Yates. what was that anyway?! Seriously, David, did you read the book or was it what you heard from the fans that made you do the film that way. even that would be bad if it had been told by a fan.
first of all, the good points. 1. the Gringotts scene was good but could have been better. 2. the room of requirement scene leaving the part when harry found the diadem(in the box!!!!!). 3. the cinematography. the bad points, lots of them. 1. why did Griphook want the Gryfindor's sword we all wonder. 2. whats with the Huffelpuff's cup to be selected by Voldermort for a Horucrux??? i.e. his fetish for the important things. 3. Dumbeldore's life and lies. nothing we hear about it. 4. the school, what were all the students doing there at that moment??? 5. harry found the diadem in a box(shining)!!!! 6. no justice done to the battle of Hogwarts. come on it was supposed to be a battle! 7. death of Fred Weasly and the Percy's famous dialog "minister i forgot to give you my resignation" was not shown. even after wards Fred was not mentioned. 8. what was that when molly Wesley got Bellatrix? she just burst up into god knows what! where was the dead body? it showed that the death eaters did not turn to just dead bodies! 9. what was that speech by Neville when he should be killing nagini which he did though after taking much of the unwanted screen time. 10. harry when first brought in by hagrid was supposed to be shocking but leaving Ginny others took it quiet calmly. 11. then the best part harry and voldemort playing hide and seek and we see voldemort battling harry with the elder wand that was supposedly not be working against harry. we should have seen voldermort after casting the death spell which after deflecting by harry's disarming spell hit voldermort and he should have been dead like each of the others coming to the same end after death as equal but he had to be different for Yates... he blows up!!! amusing. 12. now coming to the best part. i literally had my hands on my head when this was shown. harry breaks the elder wand into two and throws it. can it be done!!! what harm would have it done if he could have stuck to the book? 13. the epilogue was disastrous. no more on that.
on the whole a good script already prepared by J.K.Rowling wasted by Yates.
