Drishtikone

Movie Review
Film- Drishtikone ( Bengali)
Director - Kaushik Ganguly
Genre- Drama

Drishtikone is an intriging film with a nice plot and excellent performances. Prosenjit Chatterjee and Rituparna Sengupta play their respective roles with sublimity. The plot of the story becomes more complex as the movie moves along. There is a certain mystery in the characters and it is obvious that all is not as simple as it looks.

Widow Srimati Sen (Rituparna Sengupta) approaches advocate Jiyon Mitra (Prosenjit Chatterjee) to take up the case of her husband Palash Sen (Koushik Sen) who died in a road accident two years ago. Srimati believes the accident was not the sole cause of Palash's death. This is where the mystery begins. This story has a different kind of love story hidden between the case of the accidental death. Jiyon takes up the case and sends his assistant Avik (Soham Majumder) to record the testimony of Pritam (Kaushik Ganguly), Palash's elder brother who was travelling with him in the car when the accident occurred and has been left paralysed waist down. The film eventually takes a romantic angle as a chemistry slowly builds up between Srimati and Jiyon, which is not hidden from the eyes of Rukmini Mitra (Churni Ganguly), Jiyon's wife. Jivon and Shrimati's affair does not miss the eye of Jiyon's wife, Rukmini. 

As the mystery unfolds we see a different turn take place even in the equation between Jiyon and Shrimati. Director Kaushik Ganguly’s treatment of the storyline is such that one feels the pulse of a thriller despite the romantic unfolding of the relationship between the protagonists. Rukmini's jealousy is depicted with maturity and doesn’t appear cliched. The story is about the undefined yet strong bond between the advocate and his client and Rukmini's effort to save her marriage. At the same time, it is the story of the truth of Palash’s death.  The climax brings us to the end of the mystery of his death and also uncovers some other facts .The film is captivationg and has good performances. The story line is interesting too. A good watch.
