The making and acting of the drama was one of the best in modern times for Bangladeshi drama/telefilms. However, unnecessary reference to beer/sex/kiss was just that, unnecessary because the relationship between the main actors never shows their relationship to be physical in nature. As usual natural acting by Yash Rohan, who is one of the best actors of modern days. Mehazabin shows her acting skills. The director probably ignored Bizri's role until the end but she also played her role well. Overall, the storyline is predictable but how it was revealed was impactful and long-lasting. The story sticks in your mind even after it ends with untold "what ifs".

"Forget Me Not" is an emotional, visual treat, brought to life by a team that deserves all the praise for their meticulous craft and attention to detail. First things first-the locations. The outdoor flashback scenes were absolutely breathtaking. The person responsible for scouting these locations deserves a raise because they transformed the film into a visual feast. Each frame was like a painting, from the lighting to the sound, music, and especially the cinematography, masterfully executed by Ishtiaque Hossain. Truly, every technical aspect was flawless.

The performances were stellar, with Bijori Barkatullah delivering a particularly standout performance. Mehazabien Chowdhury and Yash Rohan were excellent, but it's worth noting that seasoned actors like Irfan Sajjad, Partho Sheikh, Shahana Shumi, and Jahangir Alam could have been better utilized in their roles. Their talents felt somewhat underexploited, despite their proven abilities.

Where the film truly shines, though, is in its direction. Robiul Alam Robi managed to weave the flashbacks into the present-day narrative in a way that felt seamless and poetic. The structure was compelling, keeping my attention even when the pacing felt slow at times. As an aspiring writer, I could only marvel at how effortlessly the story unfolded under his careful guidance, especially in those transitions between past and present-something that felt like a masterclass in itself.

However, I did feel that a bit more mystery or intrigue, especially around the mother and the enigmatic music studio uncle, could have added to the pacing and tension in the middle parts of the film. It would have brought a layer of suspense that could have elevated the emotional weight further.

Nonetheless, this is a beautifully crafted film where everyone, from production designer Naeemah Zaman to editors Saleh Sobhan Auneem and colorist Nawshin Sarwar, gave more than 100%. A huge shout-out to the entire sound team led by Rajesh Shaha and Sajeeb Ranjan Bishwas, and Rasheed Sharif Shoaib's mesmerizing music that lingers long after the credits roll.

From the beginning the movie it was a suspense that why he did suicide! Very smoothly portrayed. Loved it! I am not used to write reviews for bengali movies. But this one made me feel touchy. Very good work by mehzabeen, the zoom ghor scene, standing in one leg! Superb 👌

not only she all the characters in this movies played their part really well. Kudos to the whole team.
