yup, my list is kinda old unable to sit through 3 hours of gibberish anymore - what to do.
ah yes - one sorta new movie that i did enjoy was - gangster.


bluechip:

if you can: try watching 36 chowringhee lane by aparna sen.
IMO - she should've stopped making films after that but that movie is good - not in the same league as them masters - but good, nontheless.

jyotida: what do you think of gautam ghosh and rituparno's movies? buddhadeb dasgupta?



:brishti
Mr.& Mrs. Iyer was a good film. But, haven't seen her 36 Chowringhee Lane yet. I saw the DVD on the shelf and will get it next trip.

Not sure if this movie I am going to ask about is mentioned in this thread...

A Bengali friend literally made me sit for a Satyajit Ray movie. And for some reason I really liked it. Did not understand any of the conversations but did get the story. I like Bengali language. A girl speaking Bengali is really melodious for me. The language has something special in it

Okay the story goes something like this : A wannabe singer boy from a very poor family had some bad luck with the King of his Kingdom. Raged the king evicts him out of the village...on a donkey. He wanders around and somehow bumps into another wannabe music artist lad who too has been wandering...

.
..
They get some magic tools from someone (God?)...aaha...cannot remember much...but they had a good time using them. Go-anywhere-you-wish shoes, anytime-anywhere food, one gets the the most melodious voice and the other gets superb skills of playing a 'dapali' (not sure about its English word)

What movie is this? Any guesses? It's a B&W, very old print movie. Would like to grab it whenever I get a chance.

My signature here is a statement from the same movie.

KS

So you are from my college IIT Kharagpur

Bhai Brishti both Gautam & Rituporno are very good film makers. A few days back I watched Bariwali by Rituporno, liked it very much.
Last year at the Osian film festival I watched Kaalpurush by buddhadeb impressive.

I think jyoti thinks u're a guy. I didn't think the word 'bhai' had hidden meanings?
Does it?

Does it?
brishti - a guy's name? could it be? you think?
'bhai' is a strange word to use, i agree - but then i thought... i dont know what i thought really...
just took it for granted, brishti sounded girlie.
then i thought, jyotida used 'bhai' as in a more formal 'yaar' kinda thing.

kee jyotida?
