PS: A humble note of advice to the director from this poor reviewer - a sleazy item number isn't something that can make a movie watchable. For the rest, the lesser said, the better. Rudranil Ghosh and Sudiptaa Chakraborty’s cameo as a squabbling couple is one of the very few scenes where you will laugh spontaneously. It’s a very sad time for Bengali movies if the only scene that you will truly enjoy is a cameo of three minutes. And yes, she wears ridiculously gorgeous saris all the time, no matter if it's early morning or the middle of the night! Throughout the film she's preoccupied with just two things – shouting and crying.Īfter a certain point of time, all the shouting will get so much on your nerves that you will lose track of the story. Watching her as the dog-loving Sharmila in this film, you will really wonder if this is the same actress who amazed us in films like Utsav, Paromitar Ekdin or Dahan, to name a few.

But there is plenty to said about Rituparna Sengupta’s performance. It involves a missing dog and a truly ridiculous twist (no, I’m not giving any spoiler - although after getting tortured for more than two hours, I’m sorely tempted!). There’s nothing much to write about the plot. The storyline, script and ultimate execution is so OTT that all their efforts go down the drain. Very dependable actors - Rajatava and Rahul - have failed to save the day. The result? Another ‘laughathon’ turnned 'yawnathon'. Alas! This is Tollywood, and no matter how much we try, keeping slapstick within a tolerable limit is not something the new-age directors have learnt from their legendary ancestors. For an audience which has grown up watching alien attacks, miraculous personality changes and superpowers, the atrocious things that have been shown in Jayasree Bhattacharya’s debut film, Pati Parameshwar, wouldn't have come as a surprise. Trust me, if this film was made in Hollywood, it surely would have worked.
