Review of Afterglow

Afterglow (2012)
8/10
Poetry in motion
20 December 2012
Paanch Adhyay is a montage of colours, sound and visuals. With a beautiful pair, and a sensitive storyline, Pratim D. Gupta's debut is sheer poetry on screen. Dia Mirza and Priyanshu have their best roles ever. Shantanu Moitra weaves a magical saga. Sampurna, however disappoints. Tagore, Frost, 'Mrs. Dalloway', 'Sweet Rush' and the deja vu of Uttam Kumar's Arindam pervade throughout the film. So do traces of Swanand Kirkire and Subha Mudgal's versions of 'Ure Jay', long after the chapters close. And that Soumitra Chatterjee scene is legendary. A rare Bengali film which has the grandiosity of a big Bollywood film yet strong on content. A must watch!
