কিছু স্মৃতি আমাদের জীবনের সঙ্গে মিশে যায় বারংবার, নানান ভাবে, নানান মুহূর্তে আবার জীবনের প্রতিটা মুহূর্ত থেকে জেগে ওঠে হাজারো স্মৃতি হাজারো ভাবে। সেইরকমই একটা স্মৃতির নাম ইন্দুবালা, আর এই স্মৃতিবিজড়িত মুহূর্তের স্বাক্ষী ইন্দুবালার ভাতের হোটেল।এটা কোনো সমালোচনা নয়, ভালো, খারাপ এই অনুভূতিগুলো খানিকটা দর্শকভিত্তিক, তবে এখন আমি শুধুই আমার মনের গহীন কুঠিতে ইন্দুবালার যে…

The Night Manager – Slaying Like A Pro

I haven’t read the book but I have seen the Hollywood version. Without comparing the plot and the making, The night manager starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Anil Kapoor, Tillotama Shome and Sobhita Dhulipala deliver a handful of strong central performances which makes the show worth watching. The creator utilizes his strengths to the show’s advantage…

‘Farzi’ Artist but ‘Asli’ Review

Farzi is one of the best shows I have seen in recent times. The story, the plot, the characterization and obviously the performances, everything is on top. From delivering different kinds of irony around life to collision of characters, Farzi serves everything at its best. The storyline around the characters sets the stage for a…

The Last Queen – Reader’s Review

Do our history books really tell the stories of women? As far as I remember my history textbook, I’ve learnt about only one women ruler — Rani Laxmibai. Why haven’t I ever heard of Rani Jindan Kaur? History is largely written by men; maybe that’s the reason women remain unknown throughout it.  The Last Queen is the…

Bridgerton – All About Love

Stupendous! That’s the word Lady Whistletown would probably use. Riveting the poetic grandeur, the novel-inspired series explores honor, hardship, romance, unrequited love, loyalty, heartbreak and above all, love, true love.
