Dil Dhadkne Do: An outcome of overconfidence, gone terribly wrong
God, it has been more than three and half months since I have been here and written about movies. Well for one, I was stuck into the quagmire of life with too many things happening simultaneously and also the fact that I did not see any cinema, or perhaps any cinema worth reviewing. I did see Byomkesh Bakshi, but could not come upto review it. Anyways, a movie which you really like, also calls for a review, and to me, Byomkesh was not. As a bengali, who has read the originals and who has lived through far better bengali versions (see Chiriyaghar by Satyajit Ray) that I have devoured upon there seemed too much focus on th peripherals and euphemsims, leaving the audience with the vacuum of plot and direction, the movie takes. Another gaffe, the director has taken two Byomkesh Bakshi stories and created a punch out of it. As an afficiando, one will reason that one Byomkesh storyline is enough to have you engrossed, handling two is suicide.
