Hi.. I felt the movie didnt connect emotionally... I am a Bengali and certain references in the movie were jarring... like costumes..bengali women wear sarees...and that too mostly cotton..the jazzy synthetics were appealing to sight but were a discord as far as bengalisms are concerened... also, the jewellery was more fashion than gold..I cant imagine oxidised ear rings in 1960s that too in Calcutta... the climax was definitely over dramatic...unrealistic..wonder why no one came forward to help Saif break down the wall..h had done his bit by initiating the "breaking of the wall"....

Typical bengali pseudo inteelectualism. Try to see Bengal through the eyes of others too. Bengal is not only about shntipuri and Dhakai sarees. The film captures the spirit of Bengal of a bygone golden era and brilliantly portrays it too not only a pan indian audience but an international crowd too.
