'Fatafati' Is Way Above 'Motamuti' And Way Ahead Of 'Tadatadi'
If you have ever lived in Bengal or are blessed to have Bengali friends around you, who somehow cannot resist and often indulge in speaking their mother tongue while you watch them, enjoying their sorties, these three words used in the subject line are definitely not new to you.
- Fatafati - A word that 'Motamuti' expresses excellence of higher order.
- Motamuti - A word that 'Tadatadi' expresses anything that is on an average.
- Tadatadi - A word that unlike above two words, expresses the dire need to hurry up whichever way it can.
"Fatafati" - an Aritra Mukherjee directed Bengali movie, dubbed in many languages including Hindi and released on OTT platform on Sony Liv on 4th August 2023 is "Motamuti" a pure, fresh and unpolished diamond on an irresistible offer that should be "Tadatadi" availed, watched for some clean, inspiring and rejuvenating entertainment.
Though the movie quickly establishes a heart to heart connection with all type of or different age group of viewers, if you have ever lived in Kolkata or in Bengal in general, it would go an extra mile to make you feel at home.
No doubt, the movie could have been a real masterpiece had some finer points been attended, decorated and celebrated in a logically placed sequence or order, but even then the sheer purity of intent, inherent simplicity of expression and abundant clarity in content with which the story unfolds beautifully, makes it a cut above the rest.
In times when violence, action and vulgarity are considered as a certain winning formula, especially on OTT, 'Fatafati' stands out as a clean entertainment trendsetter movie which is likely to inspire many budding Phulloras of our world to blossom into a beautiful flower, spreading the fragrance of love, trust and excellence, wherever they are.
Though I can go on writing about this small budget wonder that is full of human feelings, priceless sentiments and natural emotions, saying anything further, may actually reveal the plot, I want you to explore, discover and enjoy on your own.
It is a must watch movie that should be enjoyed with entire family watching it together - do share your reflections after viewing it.
We simply loved being a part of this beautiful story,
In gratitude,
