Dange (2024)
predictable film with mediocre acting
The film has a predictable plot line. The acting from the main characters were below par. I was hoping that the film would pick up midway but it was disappointing. You can see that the director did his best with the screenplay. One of the major pitfalls of Dange is its reliance on tired clichés and predictable tropes. The storyline feels derivative, offering little in the way of innovation or originality. Instead of taking risks and exploring new territory, the film plays it safe, resulting in a forgettable and generic viewing experience. Despite its flashy visuals and occasional bursts of action, Dange ultimately fails to deliver the thrills and excitement expected from a movie in this genre.
Qala (2022)
Beautifully nuanced film
A skilfully written film. It brings forth the strict patriarchy at the time. Qala becomes a victim of this mindset and so does her mother unknowingly. The messaging about her mental health and the repercussions of not addressing it is evident in the film. The film also highlights an important point of accepting people as they are and being authentic. While film is set in the early 1900's the social messaging is more than relevant even today. The music is on point and is hauntingly beautiful. Tripti appears statuesque and Babil passionate in his role. I honestly didn't wish for the film to end and I would have liked to have seen more about Qala's life as an adult.
