BEDROOM, BOREDOM!

It credits Tagore for his "Additional lyrics" and 'Mayabono Biharaini' is wasted as it gets veiled behind the conversation of the three friends. There was no reason to keep the song in the film,sung, not with the same conviction as her earlier rendition, by 'jagorone' Somlata. Apart from this what 'Bedroom' offers is consistent boredom! Apart from few capturing one liners like "Amar theke expectation? ami to C.P.M." and "Bangla serial benche acche ma-mashi-manusher jonno" put in the mouth of Rahul, the only man to watch out for, the film has just nothing new to offer. Relationships?? Haven't we seen this and heard that before? and how many times? We have a director who wants to make his audience laugh at the contemporary Bengali cinema, politics, journalist ethics and Tagore, and unfortunately fails miserably! Even a forced cathartic effect in the end fails to arouse either pity or fear. What my fellow audience took as a laughathon in the first half turned out to be yawnathon post interval. Should I pity the director, or live in fear for his next release?!
No, I should have stayed back in my Bedroom instead and enjoyed 'furfure ek roder jonmodin'.
