Janla Diye Bou Palalo Bengali Movie
After a long break, Aniket Chattopadhyay is back with yet another comedy film, Janla Diye Bou Palal. The bride who ran away from the window is indeed the story of the bride Mimi (Amrita Chattopadhyay), who flees from her own wedding.
Fleeing from weddings, crashing other's weddings has almost become a recurring theme for filmmakers for a long time. Director Chattopadhyay adapts to this motif and imprints the same with his slapstick tone. Humor plays the central character in Janla Diye Bou Palalo.
Mimi runs away from her own wedding, and reaches Siliguri. She as destined meets Hupo (Arjun Chakraborty) on her way and then begins their story. The story that leads to forever after, only through several hiccups and this boulder laden path is the slapstick route that director Chattopadhyay actually traverses along with his actors.
Moments of love and charming together moments between Mimi and Arjun are quite absent in the film. Comic police chases, brilliantly funny sequences during the journey are in ample. But the mood of the tempo somehow fails to reach the crescendo, as the director does not take an effort to construct anything beautiful on screen.
Leading with a cast specialized in comedy Aniket Chattopadhyay fails to do justice to the story of the bride. The bride who actually, later marries her adventurous companion, Arjun. Actors Kharaj Mukherjee, Kanchan Mullick & Biswanath Basu are good in their respective roles and do make the film stand on its slapstick backbone. But ultimately too much comedy, rather forced at many places does not solve the case for Janla Diye Bou Palalo.
To summarise, a pinch of comedy, a dab of craziness and a big gang of talented actors. If you are thinking all these have made Janla Diye Bou Palalo, a worth watch. Then you are wrong. Buy the tickets, if you are a die hard Aniket Chattopadhyay fan or have to pass on a few hours doing something to get rid of boredom.
