“The mystery of human existence lies not just in staying alive, but in finding something to live for,” stated Fyodor Dostoyevsky in his ‘The Brothers Karamazov’. We, as human beings, try for this “something to live for” all our lives. Some are profitable, others barely scrape by, however the wrestle goes on. The world might tag one profitable in the event that they tick all of the containers — vehicles, a home, a seemingly good and blissful household – however scratch the floor and the seemingly good life could also be hiding a gaping vacancy.
What is that this void? What causes it and is it doable to scale its depth? How does one overcome it? Can it grow to be larger than the individual themselves, pushing them over the sting to take one determined, excessive step?
Atanu Ghosh’s movie ‘Binisutoy’, which interprets into ‘without strings attached’, offers with this void and its results on folks. It revolves round Srabani Baruah and Kajal Sarkar. Struggling with their respective lives, sooner or later, they determine to take part in a actuality present that guarantees them a sum of Rs 50 lakh. Strangers to at least one one other, they meet on the venue of the fact present. They strike an instantaneous bond and spend the day collectively, solely to return to their respective properties. Will they ever meet once more?
However, the crux of the matter lies elsewhere, which Atanu reserves for later. It is that this twist for which it’s essential to watch ‘Binisutoy’. There is a couple of narrative juxtaposing with each other. Without disclosing a lot, we will say that Atanu has hit the nail on its head. Like his different movies, ‘Binisutoy’ too tugs on the heartstrings. It highlights the meaninglessness of city life, and forces you to re-examine your personal.
There are lovely moments within the movie. Like those shared between Kajal and his son. Like when Srabani sings a Tagore music. Both Ritwik Chakraborty (Kajal) and Jaya Ehsan (Srabani) are sensible actors and ship superlative performances within the movie. Kaushik Sen and Chandreyee Ghosh are efficient too. The lovely cinematography by the National Award-winning Appu Prabhakar is a bonus. Debojyoti Mishra’s music provides worth to the movie, with Jaya’s rendition of Tagore music because the cherry on the cake.
Atanu’s final two movies – ‘Robibar’ and ‘Mayurakkhi’ – revolved round two folks and their ideas and actions. ‘Binisutoy’ is the third within the sequence. It is a movie that feeds your soul and leaves one feeling unusually calm.
