Saw Three Obsessions (Teenkahon) at the Aravindan Puraskaram screening. I must say it was a very bad screening. Why would a prestigious award allow such bad screening? But I liked Three Obsessions. As a film buff, I must say it was very beautifully shot. Abhik Mukherjee is a master craftsman.He is brilliant. And as debut film this is quite remarkable. Ms. Beena in her citation read that "the filmmaker has exceptional command over the language of cinema." I agree with her. As a first time filmmaker Buddhayan Mukherjee has shown very good skills. The first story did remind me of Satyajit Ray but in a good way, the second one I thought could have been shorter but what a performance by the husband. The actor desrves prizes. The third one again was quite something. Asis Vidyarthi was superb in his role. And what an ending! Must watch.
