I couldn't thank Konkona Sen Sharma anymore for this film .
For any other it may be a slow burner for 100 odd minutes but for me every moment gave a stigma with that monotonous bengali backdrop. For real if I say , every guy like Shutu, he just dreams of ending like this on peak melancholy cramping himself for room. Ohh, this character just got my spirit. Vikrant Massey WHAT AN ACTOR.
This film goes silently in the genre of peak male vulnerability like JAGTEN and MANCHESTER BY THE SEA. I myself can't express how much I love these two films and giving me such kind of feeling again, it's outstanding.
Midway of the film - all that for Koechlin , not justified. Ending of the film - all that for Koechlin, not justified.

Am I dumb or what??
Isn't this the same story from my English book??
Loneliness, domination, tragedy, one-sided love, Kindy, Alone?? the path of finding who and what you are??
