[amar-hiyar-majhe]

Today, as I was browsing YouTube, I stumbled upon a video uploaded by SVF clips featuring scenes from the Bengali movie "Villain." Intrigued by the snippets, I promptly logged into Hoichoi to watch the full film.

However, the experience turned out to be quite disappointing. The storyline, plot, music, and dialogues were all incredibly cringeworthy. I find myself regretting my decision to watch it.

It makes me wonder why the Bengali film industry seems preoccupied with producing such films. Movies like "Bindass," "Herogiri," and others of their ilk — are they even worthy of being called movies?

I forgot to add the beautiful lyrics of the song present in the movie "chokhe legeche dhoya tor angul choyar nesha legeche bedon (ki egulo???) nei thik thikana bhule giye bahana, sudhu thote thot khujbe norom, doze doze doze chade pyaar ki yeh doze"

I'm feeling deeply unsettled at the moment. Once a year, Koushik Ganguly and Srijit Mukherji return with their thought-provoking films, which truly stand out as gems. I find myself longing for the era of Satyajit Ray and Rituparno Ghosh, whose films defined Bangla cinema.

Ajke ei tuku, pore ashchi ekta chotto biroti niye songe thakun shusto thakun.

I wish you could watch the Bengali movie of Byomkesh because he's so different there!!! You can find the English subtitles for the Byomkesh Bakshi series on hoichoi by Anirban!!! it's so fascinatingly different from the Hindi one!!

ohhh yes i love reccs!! what is the bengali movie called? id love to see a version of byomkesh that's from the same indian culture as the original novels!! im just scared i wont like it & the 90s series because i adore dbb! so much and sushant singh rajput plays SUCH a good byomkesh...

Ajit appreciation

I feel people dont appreciate my bb enough. Like bro fought 7 men because his friend was getting beat up . Where do I find a friend like him .

[jeahreading]

Watson Sherlock romance ain't the only one in this world, the romance that goes between Byomkesh and Ajit is another level bro

like I love you Satyabatti I really do, but honestly,

"ghorer o pashe Atul(Byomkesh) er jinish patro chedano ache, shae dike chae, amar chokhe jol eshe gaelo. Atul(Byomkesh) ke je koto khani bhalobeshe phele chi, ta ami buste parlam"

"On the other side of the room, Atul's(Byomkesh) things were lying around, looking at them, my eyes filled with tears. I understood how much I had started loving Atul (Byomkesh).

This might be terribly out of context but trust me when I say this, this man is whipped

Comfort Read: Classic books edition

Comfort reading are books that helps me come out my reading slump

When my mind doesnt want to go through the TBR I have in my Kindle, I look for my comfort read. I have a few books in all genres, including mystery (I know how can I re-read a mystery book, but I do!). So, today I will speak about the classics. These I have read books I have read and reread them, whenever I found myself in a reading slump, or when the life wasn’t smooth enough. I read most of…

Hiiii! I just watched byomkesh bakshi for the 30th time today...wanted someone to talk about it...what's your favorite scene from the movie?

(Mine is definitely the high byomkesh 😏😏😏 if you know what I mean )

OKAY OKAY OKAY. LEMME THINK. HMMMMMM. favorite scene is probablyyyyyy when ajit finally tells byomkesh that his father was a chemist and they get into a big argument teehee, they're so stupid n silly

[no--net]

Who is the guy gay as hell for byomkesh?????😏😏😏😏😏😏

they've somehow cured my burnout. it's been two years. im going insane over them

[zeherili-ankhein]

Hii!! Just wanted to let you know I very much appreciate your posts about bengali culture and mythology :)

Btw, what other bengali books do you read? I'm big fan of Sukumar Ray (the whole Ray family honestly>>), i also love feluda among other things. I'd love to discuss bengali literature with you <3

First of all thank you so muchh :D

I have always been a fan of literature and mythology so I try to dig up as much as I can hehe

I have read some Chhoto Golpo by Rabindranath Thakur, he's my absolute favourite, my Gurudev. I have the Golpo Guchho, though I haven't complete read all of them till now, I plan to do very soon. Poems I've read a lot I guess I forgot, I know the story of Chokher Bali through movies and stuff, mom won't buy me that now cause I am too young for that she says. I LOVE LOVE LOVE rabindrasangeet trust me.

I have the Raj Kahini by Abanindranath Thakur in my to read list actually, I will read that once I complete the novel series I am reading currently. Cannot forget Khirer Putul, it was actually what my school did in my class 6th fest that was too memorable for me...

Other than that and Abol Tabol – I LITERALLY HAD ALL THE POEMS MEMORIZED AS A TODDLER – till now my bengali literature reach is not very much actually sadly... Though I do keep all my old school books and they have some great poems and stories in them.

But to ACTUALLY read, sadly I would have to get more books, which I plan to do very soon..

I have read the Chander Pahar by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay (the movie was bad but I did enjoy it as a child) and Aranyak I've only read a bit, it was in my school textbook I loved that and will read the entire thing oneday. but Pather Panchali I've read a bit, in a book called Aam Aatir Bhepu, – it was it also in my school syllabus – though I'd love to read someday, I have watched the movies OFCOURSE.

I have read some of Upendra Kishore Ray Choudhary too, like Banor Rajputro or Tuntunir Golpo. I read his Cheleder Ramayan too (that was the first ever Ramayan I ever read). Gupi Gayen Bagha Bayen, I've only watched the movies.

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON PANDOB GOYENDA. MY GOD I LOVE THAT SO MUCH. Bilu was my first ever crush ngl lol.. I still love him.

But sadly I haven't read any of them, including Feluda and Byomkesh Bakshi. My knowledge in them only goes till the movies and shows. I watched those ssoftoons animation Pandob Goyenda and Gopal Bhar – ANOTHER THING I ABSOLUTELY ADORE – I still have those DVDS but I broke my laptop (don't ask me but it was funny T_T) so I have to wait now till I can watch them again.

And other than that, I am an ABSOLUTE SUCKER for Thakumar Jhuli, like I love them so much. I can talk about them for hours.

I would love it, if you have some good suggestions for what I should read.

And I would love it even more to be able to talk to someone about Bengali literature and stuff.. even mythology because I am a sucker for that too lol..

i'm trying to remember the name of a paper i read back in 2019 that traced the development of detective fiction in bengal concurrent to early finger-printing techniques that were being tested in the bengal presidency in the mid-ninetheenth century(??).

i remember that the most interesting part of it was the reflection on how european detective fiction was distinctly class based, while the bengali detective emerged as part of the colonial police (protagonist of daroga'r daphtar, for example) and gradually transformed into the upper-caste private citizen (byomkesh bakshi and feluda, for example).
