I liked previous Apran Sen's movies, specially the very first one - '36 Chowranghee Lane'. But in contrary to common view, it was quite disappointing. May be I was expecting too much. As I am residing in Japan for quite long, I know how improbable is this story. Also, how they two first became pen-friends remains a mystery. This movie sometimes tried to be realistic, and sometimes too dreamy. But happened to be neither serious nor entertaining. Only the cinematography looks good. Humors are also mostly did not work (for me). But its a relative thing. If anyone prefers impractical but idealistic characters in movies, they may like it. Usually reliable Rahul Bose looks very much like 'acting', hardly natural. But seems this movie has a big fan-base, so you can also give it a try.
