Grihapravesh Movie Review: A visually-rich journey navigating complexities of love, loss and freedom
*The overall critic's rating is not an average of the sub scores above Grihapravesh Meghpeon Megh Peoner Bager Vitor Golpo Holo Suru Grihapravesh unfolds like a visually striking tale where each frame is meticulously composed, where even the silences tell the audience a story. Director Indraadip Dasgupta creates an emotionally charged narrative within the time-worn walls of a North Kolkata mansion preparing for Durga Puja. In the course, the house becomes a character itself, steeped in tradition and melancholy, on the cusp of new film's art direction and cinematography are its crown jewels — building an old-world setting where every frame expresses longing, depression, and emotional distance. The colour palette changes as the days go by, reflecting Titli's ( Subhashree Ganguly ) evolving emotional landscape. An orphan married to Shaon (Suprovo Tagore), Titli is both embraced and stifled by her new family. Her father-in-law Apratim ( Kaushik Ganguly ), burdened by the regret of his son abandoning his bride, gently urges her to start a homestay — a gesture of redemption and the homestay's first guest arrives, a quiet storm brews beneath Titli's composed exterior. Doctor-photographer Meghdoot ( Jeetu Kamal ) is both enigmatic and emotionally withdrawn, stirring in Titli a deep longing that she wasn't prepared for. Subhashree's luminous performance, especially her expressive eyes anchor the film. As she dares to dream again, her beautician best friend (a lovely cameo by Sneha Chatterjee) grows quietly her, Dasgupta weaves a tapestry of relationships: the history between Apratim and his nephew Bilu (Rudranil Ghosh), Bilu's warmth with his aunt Sreemati (a wonderful Sohini Sengupta ), and Apratim's transformation — a man trying to unlearn the patriarchy he once embodied. Shaon (Suprovo Tagore) is portrayed with affecting always in a Dasgupta film, music is a vital presence., a reimagined version of(sung by Debayan Banerjee, lyrics by Prasen), is haunting with well-thought lyrics.(by Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, Armaan Rashid Khan) adds a reflective lull to the a film of quiet revolutions — where transformation comes not through loud declarations but silent awakenings. Though the second half could have been tighter, the film rewards patience. For those willing to lean in, it offers a gentle meditation on desire, autonomy, and the quiet courage it takes to choose oneself sometimes.

Berhampur: The state govt recently wrote to different department secretaries for comprehensive development of Berhampur, Chhatrapur and Gopalpur towns in the Ganjam district. The additional secretary of planning and convergence department, Y. Vijay, wrote to the secretaries in response to Berhampur MP Pradeep Kumar Panigrahy's suggestions which he gave to chief minister Mohan Charan Majhi. Vijay asked for appropriate action on the proposals for the comprehensive development of these urban areas in the district. The proposals include the integration of peripheral panchayats into Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BeMC), climate-resilient infrastructure and water resource management, underground cabling and the development of modern transport systems. They also cover the development of a city centre and regional trading hub, sustainable tourism and cultural preservation, smart city technology, disaster mitigation and preparedness, development of urban forests, revitalisation of water bodies and development of tourism sites. Panigrahy wrote to the CM on April 25, requesting comprehensive development work for Berhampur, Chhatrapur and Gopalpur urban local bodies for the socio-economic development of the residents and their comprehensive infrastructure development. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Arceto: L'ultima soluzione acustica svizzera: ingegnosa e quasi invisibile Migliora Udito Undo "Berhampur is the biggest trading centre in southern Odisha, while Gopalpur, a sea-shore town in the district, is one of the major tourist destinations. Chhatrapur, an NAC town, is the district headquarters of Ganjam district. Hundreds of people from far-off places visit these urban areas every day for business purposes in Berhampur, while visitors from across the country and abroad visit Gopalpur to enjoy its pleasant climate," Panigrahy said. "Underground cabling and climate-resilient infrastructure in these urban areas are needed as these towns are considered cyclone-prone areas. In the past, these areas faced several devastating cyclones like Phailin, Hudhud and Titli. The areas remained in darkness for several days when the power infrastructures were damaged in the calamities," he added. "The development of infrastructure facilities in these urban areas is urgently needed to attract more visitors and provide hassle-free services to them," Panigrahy said. He thanked the CM for directing the secretaries to his proposals. "I hope different departments will take prompt action for the implementation of his proposals," he added.

Why cinemagoers may be unforgiving of Rajkummar Rao's ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf'
Ranjan (Rajkummar Rao) and Titli (Wamiqa Gabbi) want to get married. Time won't allow them to. Funnily, it's running time which the makers struggle to move along in this comedy about Ranjan's tryst with time to reach his final plot is the least of problems for Bhool Chuk Maaf. In fact it's the only ingenious bit in the film. It's the characterisation of the lead hero, Ranjan, which makes this a hard pill to swallow. If one is to root for this guy's predicament, one's unable to because on paper there's not much appealing about him. His ambition is simple: get a government job so as to marry his sweetheart; the means to go about it are questionable and ultimately off-putting. It makes Titli's penchant for him all the more puzzling. Love does have mysterious ways, but surely idiocy isn't first 45 minutes the film trudges along with umpteen songs acting as disruptors to show the couple's attempt to find a sarkari naukri within a stipulated time. Once that hurdle is crossed, Ranjan eagerly awaiting his wedding day finds himself stuck in a swamp pit of time wherein the penultimate day before the wedding keeps repeating itself. Until Ranjan figures out the root of his problem, audiences have to endure the equally desperate attempts to induce Chuk Maaf is the kind of film where the decibel levels are always high—it's the misguided belief that the louder the delivery, the likelier the joke's ability to land. Rao does most of the heavy-lifting, but there's now something overly familiar and predictable about this small-town lover boy and gullible fool act. There's irritability at not being understood or believed; the one scene where he lets loose in a physical act, there's the quickfire delivery. Despite playing these familiar tropes, writer-director Karan Sharma struggles to hold the narrative There are brief moments of relief, especially when Ranjan has to make sense and resolve the trouble around reliving a day again and again. But Sharma can stretch the premise only for so long and is unable to delve into the harrowing emotional fallout of being trapped in a messy loop. By the time the last act arrives and the moral conundrum rises, setting up a preachy monologue to absolve the protagonist of his many fallibilities, it's too Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand writes that the most depraved type of human being is a man without a purpose. Bhool Chuk Maaf has good intent but lacks a clear purpose. And even when it finds one, the moral posturing is loaded and anodyne. 'Sahi ko chunna bahut mushkil hota hai,' says Sanjay Mishra's fixer in a lecture that touches on humanity, Bhagat Singh and doing the right thing. It isn't enough for Bhool Chuk Maaf is incredibly loud and extremely to India Today Magazine
