Review of A Death In The Gunj . . .

Review of A Death In The Gunj . . . 

Konkana Sen Sharma's debut feature film A Death In The Gunj iz piece of master work i have seen in the first half of 2017. In six months only few films came to which i can give a tag of master work. Expecting more from the next half of the year. So this iz totally my kinda cinema for which i eagerly wait always. I have been always big fan of this genre of films. It's a drama set in 70s where a bengali family goes on holiday to hometown gunj (Bihar).

Konkana iz one of my most fav actress. I have loved her performances in many of her feature films and short films too. This time once again she made me to believe in her talent more by doing writing and direction. It's based on short story which was inspired by true events and Konkana mam successfully made it a feature. I will say a worth film. So well told.

Loved the screenplay it has really fantastic scenes such as Gulshan teaching driving to Shutu, spiritual game scene at home, followed by Kabbadi scene, Sex scene of Shutu and Kalki, Puppy eating meal with servants and that folk songs and BGM adds extra butter to the screenplay. It was learning lesson for me as i aspire to be a film maker. A lady director taught me so much about the direction. She proved herself very promising director. 

Set designing, BGM, Costumes, writing etc departments worked well. 

Konkana mam also played beautifully with the performances of actors. She gave an appropriate role to each and everyone. Whether it iz Gulshan or Kalki or Ranvir Shoury all performed brilliantly. Obviously Konkana herself iz a great performer though she could bring out from her cast too.

Not saying much about the story but i really enjoyed it and want some more this kind of masterfully work from Konkana mam.

So with this first half of 2017 completed and wishing that more beautiful films to release for bollywood lovers like me . . . 

For this i think 

4.2/5.
