“this is one of the best bengali movies iu0026#39;ve seen in my life and the director has to get all the credit. Tagoreu0026#39;s novels are one of the hardest to execute on the big screen and the director handles it with aplomb. if i remember correctly, a lot of people questioned the casting of Aishwarya Rai as Binodini, but after watching the movie I can say that she was the best person for the role. as for the previous comment, i agree that the movie was a bit slow at certain points, but we have to remember that the director had to remain faithful to the original novel and the novel wasnu0026#39;t written with 21st century audiences in mind. as for the lack of dancing, this is not a masala hindi movie expecting dancing in a movie like this is similar to expecting Adam Sandler in a David Lynch movie, they just donu0026#39;t go together. the movie also has one of the best soundtracks and the songs fit the movie. Overall 9/10.”
