Featured review
'Chotushkone' if translated into English, would probably mean 'Four Corners'.
The beginning of the film throws a question on the identity of the three characters - the woman who commits suicide, the man, and the little child. They have been blurred tactfully.
The sub plot enacted by Payel, Indrashish and Rahul create an enigma regarding their connection to the main plot. Every time they appear, the quench arises - when and how will they connect with the main plot.
The sub plots have been smoothly blended, and the climax resolves all the dilemmas. The topsy and turvy nature of the climax was like a bolt from the blue. Unexpected and that's why amazing.
A few things that need special mention -
1. Chiranjit appeared in a new avatar in his acting career. Truly praiseworthy.
2. Kaushik Ganguly acted freely and brilliantly. The best I would say in the film.
3. The film has been shot in a variety of hues. Colour, Black and white and the three stories in Green, Red and Blue.
4. The name of the fictional producer's production house was 'Pandora's Box'. Liked the name. Parambrata mentions it to Aparna the moment they were about to step onto the terrace of Aparna's house. This happens toward's the beginning.
Pandora's box was from the Greek myths. They say, that in Pandora's box dwelled four elements. When the box was opened, three escaped from it and spread across the world. The box was a gift of Zeus to Pandora (first woman on Earth) to punish the earthlings. Zeus was annoyed on us as Prometheus had stolen fire from the Olympians and given it to us - mankind. The three elements which escaped from the box were DEATH, DESTRUCTION and DISEASE. When Pandora hurried to close the box, the last element got entrapped and could never come out. It was HOPE.
Death, Destruction and Disease can be the three veteran film personnel in the film and the last one Hope represented by Parambrata. His hope that he may seek vengeance against the seekers (unknowingly) of Death, Destruction and Disease to his family.
5. Liked the card playing sequence where Chiranjit and Goutam arrange the cards accordingly. Each of them had three cards. Same set for both. King, Queen and J. King - Chiranjit, Queen - Aparna - and J - Goutam. Deeply connected with their personal lives.
6. Found the walk of a drunkard funny. He looked like a fast walking zombie. Bedosruti Dey encountered this drunkard on the road. The first person whom he knocked for a cigarette.
7. The theme of death gets celebrated in the movie. Begins and ends with death.
