Anjan finally found Ranjana

Last evening I went to Big Cinemas to watch the much hyped and talked about new film 'Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbo Na' by Singer/Writer/Actor/Director - Anjan Dutt. I really can't remember the last time I watch a Bengali film, and that too on big screen.

Anyway, the script was decent, acting was a also decent, with some high points here and there. Parno Mittra did a decent job, but has a long way to go on her acting skills, but still managed to pull off a believable performance. I'd have thought, being surrounded by legendary rockers like Lou, Amit & Nandan, her performance on stage as a rocker would have been better. She missed some of the finer nuances of being a singer/rocker on the stage scenes. But that said some of the emotional scenes between her and Anjan Dutt were very nicely done.

Anjan, well he was Anjan. I might be a bit biased in my opinion having dealt with the Anjan Da in real life, he was himself. Ofcourse I will add that he did put on a good performance on screen.

The characters I liked in terms of their performance as actors on screen were those of Ushasie Chakraborty, as a reporter with Star Ananda and Lew Hilt, the basist of Anjan's band and dear friend in the movie. Both of them played their parts really well.

The music in the movie was ok and very basic. I didn't think there was any song, well except the legendary opening song "Ranjana'.

Overall 'Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbo Na' was worth the money I spent.

    Rohit, i saw Anjan once, but never really interacted with him..I saw his Madly Banglee and some of the telefilms that he produced they were fairly decent, I actually quite like Madly Bangalee..

    so I have a picture of what kind of person might be..but how is like in real life?

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

AKIRA: A Tiny Japanese Universe in Kolkata

Since we were already out and dinner was calling, we decided to keep things light and find somewhere nearby. A quick search by my wife produced a promising result—a new Japanese place just 9 minutes away , according to Google. Nine minutes? That sounded dangerously convenient. And so off we went to AKIRA , a cute little Japanese cuisine restaurant that is, by almost every definition of the word, tiny . But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in character. The place is done up in Japanese Pop Culture, with Anime and Manga influences everywhere you look. We arrived and, as expected, had to wait a little before we could get in. Which was perfectly fine by me. Because parked outside were two rather handsome motorcycles—a Honda CB350 and a Honda H'ness CB350 . Now, I have a weakness for motorcycles, and apparently, so did the universe that evening. I was admiring the two bikes when the owner of the CB350 appeared. One thing led to another and within seconds we were engaged in that v...

HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum

I was in Bangalore and this was the only place I actually wanted visit. So here I am taking the tour of India's first aerospace museum located at the HAL facility (opposite the old Bangalore Airport) spread over 4 acres. The displays of actual aircraft are very cool and so are the galleries showing historical pictures and evolution of HAL and its contribution to the nation in Military Aircraft as well as Aerospace. The disappointing thing at the end of the tour was the Gift shop, where I was hoping to find Scale Models of Aircraft and other Memorabilia from the IAF (Indian Air Force), but instead it was a dreary sight to see a shelf which housed Handicrafts! That just didn't make any sense whatsoever. Anyway for those of you who would like to visit this wonderful Museum, the details are below: HF-24 Marut 1T (D1698) IAF MIG-21 Bison (Trainer Version) HAL HJT-36 Sitara (IJT), Intermediate Jet Trainer Prototype. HAL Tejas mock-up (LCA) Light Weight...
