Art meets Multiplex! Does this formula Work?

I don’t really know what the objective of this film was; to entertain, or to showcase the film making capabilities of the eclectic film maker Rituparno Ghosh. It’s like an arty film trying to be sold to the mainstream cine-goers. Oh and for all those who have been praising the Big B. Well I don’t see what the difference is. He did black which was well received and if he thinks roles like that suit him, then he’s been typecast into the stereotype ailing super star of yesteryear's still clinging on to that status by any and all means possible. Yes agreed age does catch up with stars, but then still trying to compete in the multiplex age of dazzling daredevils like Akshay for a pie of tinsel town is just pushing it, don’t you think?

Though the likes of Bengals star Prosonjit and Jisshu accompanied by the handsome Arjun Rampal, still riding the Rock On! wave and Priety Zinta and Divya Dutt chipping in great performances, I was yawning halfway through the film. By the end of the movie I had completely lost the plot.

I would advise all those looking for entertainment to steer clear of this Iceberg else you want to sink in several hours of misery. Big B fans, go for it, since you’ll are blinded by your reverence for this great star. Critics, well here’s another one you’ll can take apart and either put Rituporno higher up on a pedestal or then just move the one you’ll had put him up on, so that he can come back down to the ground and make films to entertain.
