Mor Ses Gaan ... (My Last Song)

Just watched the latest Assamese film MOR SES GAAN (my last song) and returned with a great deal of satisfaction.

Bijoy Duwara, a famous lyricist from the eighties, made a comeback as a producer and dialogue writer. A strong sense of natural, good, dramatic dialogue is blended with unpolluted emotion, smart wit, and a touch of humour.

The visuals are complemented by music. I am impressed by the creative and respectful presentation of Jyotiprasad's songs.  

Integrated cinematography and editing created the desired look and impact. Often, the camera behaves like the protagonist's eyes and this results in an organic and natural image that reflects the soul of the story.

Acting - Arun Nath, Mridula Baruah, Kamal Lochan, Bibhuti Bhushan and Achinta - all are seasoned actors and the director gave them ample scope to flourish with their natural talent and the director's imagination. It is Arghadeep's innocent look that makes his acting so captivating. In spite of the low-key nature of his character, he is the film's lead actor. Srijani Bhaswa Mahanta is in the surprise pack. It was a role she lived in. For Assamese youth, she will be the next heartthrob.    

As well as Prabal Baruah, who wrote the story and directed the film. He released something from his heart with profound respect for the land, people, and the art he believed in.
