Bengali Movie Review: Hridpindo Unveils an Unforgettable Love Saga
Prepare to be captivated by the latest offering from director Shieladitya Moulik, as Hridpindo takes audiences on a thrilling roller coaster ride of emotions. This enthralling film delves into the complex realm of love triangles, but with a refreshing twist.
Meet Arya, a biology professor adored by her students, who finds herself caught in an unexpected battle of emotions when she becomes the target of bullying by a fellow classmate. But it's the events that follow which truly ignite the plot. One fateful day, Arya is relentlessly pursued by this persistent pursuer and the sheer panic leads to an unfortunate accident, causing her to lose all memory of the past two decades.
Hridpindo skillfully incorporates the timeless trope of a woman haunted by her first love, a love she was forcefully torn away from due to a forced arranged marriage. As the story unfolds, we witness Arya's father and Shomok, her estranged first love, seemingly unphased by her memory loss. In fact, her father even revels in the opportunity to scold her, just as he did during her childhood. However, their seemingly apathetic facade crumbles when Wrick, the intruder, invades their lives.
Packed with powerful performances, Hridpindo is an emotional roller coaster that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats. Director Shieladitya Moulik masterfully blends ludicrous moments with heartrending scenes, expertly weaving together a tale that will resonate with viewers long after the credits roll. So buckled up and prepare to be swept away by Hridpindo, a true masterpiece in the realm of Bengali cinema.
Arpita Chatterjee delivers a captivating performance in her portrayal of Arya's teenage self, immersing viewers in the character's emotional journey. However, her behavior becomes perplexing after a mishap, as she takes on a nagging persona that is absent in the childhood version depicted in flashbacks. This inconsistency adds an intriguing layer to the character's development. On the other hand, Banerjee's character presents some significant challenges. His decision to engage in a romantic encounter with another woman, despite learning of Arya's marriage to Shomok, creates turmoil in the couple's marital life. Saheb Chatterjee skillfully conveys the pain and hope of a person yearning to reunite with their lost love, evoking genuine emotions from the audience. The film showcases breathtaking cinematography by Souvik Basu, capturing serene locations that further enhance the storytelling. Additionally, Ranajoy Bhattacharjee's music creates a pleasing auditory experience. Sanglap Bhowmick's impressive editing attempts to mask the shortcomings of the hollow storyline, but unfortunately, "Hridpindo" is not without its fair share of ridiculous moments and predictable cliches.
