Hope against Hopes.. One Time Watch!
18 April 2018
This movie in its real sense is a portrayal of Goodness of an Eccentric Mind. Generally speaking this eccentric-mind protagonist makes stubborn decisions, however illogical/impractical they may be at times. And works towards it relentlessly, come what may. E.g he was decided to be dissatisfied with his job, he ensured he was irritated and arrogant with himself and others around. His action/reactions thereby left people around him with annoyance and the Question "Why does he behave like that".

Similarly, when he decided to empathise with his Colleague in Comma, (a case of hopelessness) he gave his complete energy towards nursing her back to life... Faithfully and Unconditionally to the extent compromising his career. Yet again the question lingered "Why is he doing so much for a casual-colleague?" However his actions/reactions in this phase brought out his goodness and left people with adoration.

Soojit had once shown eccentricity in its loud form in PIKU. And this time he has chosen Subtlety. Commendable as ever. Characters well sketched, Performance par excellence. But... a Big BUT, the movie leaves an incompleteness, disappointment and hopelessness.. Perhaps.. we want to see Hopes getting fulfilled. Could it have been tailored? Not Sure.
