Suggestion!!

I would suggest the writer to give the name of the movie, director, music director, actor, actress, lyricist etc. at the top of the article. This will help the readers to know whose movie it is, now we have tough time getting this information.

Regards,
Antro

Couple of issues
by Anirban Halder on May 13, 2006 01:42 PM

I feel the key point about Dosar is missing here. That is, it is not a judgemental film unlike many films made on extra-marital relationship. Dosar doesn't tell what is right or wrong and who is right or wrong. It is an objective take on the issue of extra-marital relationship. The director has shown incredible restraint to achieve the key point.

Shooting in black and white has indeed helped the film. The director and the audience had the opportunity to have a single-minded focus on the charaters and their interplay which was subtle at times. Watching the film it was never felt that colour could add more value to it. No doubt that colour distracts with a lot more detail. Of course one needs to have the brilliant craftsmanship to make black and white lively, as in this film. Kudos to Rituparno and Abhik Mukhopadhyay, the cinematographer (Who has done Bunti Aur Babli earlier).

About sex scenes, the one between Bobby and Brinda was nothing to mention. Just a bit of foreplay and it ended at that. The one between Mita's husband and the prostitute may shock many due to it's rawness, but it was shot to actually portary the husband's ruthlessness.

Do you really don`t know the reason for unncessary love making scenes !!! From the biginning itself it`s there. Raj Kapoor was a master at it. It`s business. Simple business.

i agree

not a bad movie - but i find the treatment of kaberi, and how easily she returns to him a little disturbing. the black and white thing is a good aesthetic choice, though.

Hi Srabani, I totally agree with you. Rituparno is such a fine director. I haven't seen any other recently, who can read a woman's mind perfectly. Yet, he spoils everything with unnecessary sex scenes and crude language. I hope he does better in future.
