Something Like an Autobiography

Watched a Farooki movie after a long time. It's about a celebrity couple's journey to a delayed parenthood. In Bangladeshi society, couples are expected to multiply as soon as they are married. So after a decade of marriage, the celeb couple faces frowning from almost everyone for not producing a child yet.

The journey to a delayed parenthood starts. It is difficult to be a parent, and at later age and if so much is expected from a pair of people. Farhan and Tithy go through a lot of emotions and challenges to embrace their journey.

The movie was excellent in portraying real life Dhaka. The bustling was always in the background, this is the trademark of Farooki-you will notice the absence of filters in his shots, in the tension of the movie. The to-bo-mother is shown unfiltered, her leftover kajol displayed without making it "sexy" (as female leads are always portrayed in most movies, must look charming no matter what the situation is). I loved that.

I loved that the movie brought out the social tension, the religious tension around being a couple and not parents. It's almost looked upon as a sin.

Watch this 90 minute movie any time to feel a little emotional, a little inspired, and admire a lot-our Farooki and Tisha.
