  Actor Bratya Basu is making comeback as a director after almost a decade with his upcoming movie Dictionary, featuring Abir Chatterjee, Nusrat, Mosharraf Karim in the lead roles. The film is based on two short stories "Baba Howa" and "Swami Howa", both written by renowned author Buddhadeb Guha.

The first story is about a married couple played by Abir Chatterjee and Nusrat Jahan. Their marriage is going through a bad phase as they are not compatible with each other. Also the husband is insecure about his marriage because of his wife's proximity with a younger guy played by Arna Mukhopadhyay. The other story is about the struggles of a father who is trying hard to secure a better future for his son. Mosharraf Karim is playing the father in this part. Poulami Basu will be seen as...

The cute couple Ankush and Oindrila are here with an out an out romantic track Mon Anmone from their upcoming movie Magic. Mon Anmone is a soft romantic song that has been nicely written by Rajiv Dutta and well composed by Dabbu. The sweet voices of Santanu Dey Sarkar and Antara Mitra have synced very well with the sweet melody of the song.  Also Watch : Trailer of the movie "Magic" With due credit to the people involved with the audio track the best part about this song is the cute on screen chemistry between Ankush and Oindrila. The whole song has been shot inside a studio still it is looking visually appealing. Besides the actors on screen, director Raja Chanda also deserves credit along with his cinematographer and choreographer for visualizing the song this way that makes it look simple yet charming.

Much loved song Jawl Phoring from Hemlock Society has made a comeback with renewed energy as Jawl Phoring 2.0 in the movie Prem Tame. Reusing the remix version of popular old songs is a very popular trend now in Bollywood but Jawl Phoring 2.0 is very different from that trend. U nlike those remix songs this is not a forceful addition to the movie just to add a hit song in the music album, rather the song has been included in the film very organically as part of a college fest. Anupam Roy singing his own popular tracks in a college fest is a realistic scenario that many of us have witnessed in real life. The makers deserve credit for including  the song in the film in such a organic way. Also Watch : Trailer of the movie "Prem Tame" Anupam Roy who had also written and composed the original song has not changed much in this song except for some additional lyrics and some musical arrangement changes considering this is a college fest performance. Even after long eight years we s...

Hok Na Magic from the movie Magic is a soothing melodious track written by Raja Chanda, composed by Dabbu and sung by Anupam Roy. Also Watch : Trailer of the movie "Magic" This is a romantic melody that features the magical chemistry between the lead pair Ankush and Oindrila. But despite that magical chemistry the main highlight of the song is the lyrics written by director Raja Chanda. Earlier also we have seen him writing songs but those were mostly a rephrased versions of similar lines every time that we used to hear regularly in mainstream Bengali movies. But this time he has written very refreshing lines that sounds good. Dabbu's composition is just okay for most of the part but the signature line is very catchy and that works quite well for the song. It remains in mind for sometime even after the song is over. When Anupam Roy sings for other composers it sounds refreshing and breaks the monotony of him singing to his own tunes. He should try this quite often.

Much loved real life pair Ankush and Oindrila are all set to appear together on big screen for the first time in the upcoming movie Magic. It has been directed by Raja Chanda and produced by SSG Entertainment Pvt Ltd. The movie also features Paayel Sarkar, Debshankar Halder, Bidipta Chakraborty and Pean Sarkar in important characters. Recently the trailer of the film has been released and one must say this looks very promising. It will be too early to predict about the film by just watching the trailer but it seems story writer Arnab Bhaumik has tried some new concept for this film. It is very encouraging to see film makers are trying to experiment with new concepts in mainstream Bengali cinema coming out of the closets of remakes. The trailer is smartly edited that generates curiosity without divulging much details about the plot and characters. One can get a rough idea that the story is about a magician with a tragic backstory and now he is planning for some revenge.  The fresh p...
