Chaar (2014)

Chaar: Directed by Sandip Ray. With Paran Banerjee, Saswata Chatterjee, Rajatabha Dutta, Abir Chatterjee. This film is based on four short stories by different writers: “Bateswarer Abodan” by Parasuram, “Porikkha” by Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay, “Kagtarua” by Satyajit Ray and “Dui Bondhu” by Satyajit Ray.

“Four stories. Three writers. One on screen writer/ director. Sandip Rayu0026#39;s Chaar befits this description with glory and successfully represents four stories on screen clubbed tighter as a singular narrative. Stories have not been picked with a particular motive but are heart warming and define relationships distinctly by expressing different human emotions. The one hour forty five minutes of narrative is broken down into four parts.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eExpression of emotions in each tale is weaved with simplicity and virtue. Music heightens the tempo and gels the narrative quite well. Rayu0026#39;s selection of actors is equally powerful and perfect. From Paran Bandhopadhyay to Saswata Chatterjee to Sreelekha Mitra, Rajatava, Sudipta and Swaralipi, Piyush to Abir and Koel everyone works their character too well and somehow create such an impact that at one point you would feel Chaar wouldnu0026#39;t have been possible without them playing their roles.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo summarize, simplicity, purity, heart warming are the few words that you will easily encounter after watching Sandip Rayu0026#39;s Chaar (Four). Satisfaction is just a low tribute for a film like Chaar. Watch Chaar to experience the entertainment of reading stories on screen.”
