Review: Antaheen (Antoheen) Bengali

Antaheen (Antoheen) or Endless wait in English - Bengali movie, one of the 10 movies listed in the link below. Well, how did a Thamizh, who does not understand Bangla/Bengali get to watch this movie? Thanks to the following link, shared by Dulquar Salman in Twitter.

The movie is about love and relationships both on and offline, between people inter-related, and also between 2 strangers (offline).


This movie has a line-up of some of the legends of Indian cinema I know of; the casts are amazingly good (Rahul Bose, Sharmila Tagore, Aparna Sen & Radhika Apte. The movie is good, though the story is too predictable in the end. Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, the man who gave us “Pink”, seems to have decided to take his holiday on the side, while filming the movie, as the movie moves in such a relaxed and with slow pace.

Apart from the acting, I think the brightest part of this movie is 'the music. There are definitely some very good moments, but I think the ending could have been better. I liked it but while googling for the music director, found out that the movie was awarded National film award for Best Film in 2010. I am unsure if it is worth winning National award.

PS: Watched the movie last week along with one Marathi and a Kannada movie. Reviews of them follow soon.
