Film Review: PATHGHAT

            I have seen the movie ‘Path-Ghat’ in the releasing show and from then on I started thinking of a review of the film but every time I picked up my pen to write I have suffered uncanny feelings. I have been taught from my childhood that, it is impossible to say 100% positive or 100% negative. Because there is a saying that everywhere there is something positive. Unfortunately, it takes 10 long days to me to find that little bit of positive and now I am ready to get down the review.

        The film started with a fresh looks while a television channel team decides to go to Dooars for a shoot to improve their TRP. Seven musketeers, Ravi (Joy Sengupta), Meghla (Moubani Sorcar), Nani (Riya Ganguly), Subir, Babu and Apps. On their way to North Bengal they lose their way and met a trafficked girl Lima who escapes from the place. After the very moment the film started behaving like a Chhuchobaazi. No one knows where the script leads the audiences thereafter.  Faiz Khan as the police inspector is likely there as executive producer. Lady Director of photography Sonali Sarkar tried hard and the camera work is not so bad.

        Suvom Moitra’s music is a torture to the extreme. He composed “Ei raat tomar amar”, a classic Bengali song in a nasal tone that portrays his disrespect for the song. The lyricist I think is the brand ambassador of perversion. Otherwise it is impossible to write the lines:“Samotol theke pahari rasta/ Jekhane gechhe tomar buk;/Narom kotore royechhe lukiye/hingshro amar bhaari mukh..../Eki amar paoa paromsukh...../Eki amar Jounosukh.” Director Partha Ganguly gladly encourages the song by making baddy Bijen (Debdoot Ghosh) a symbol of Srikrishna enjoying the Jounosukh with feather in head. Lyrics also state that, “Dulchhe krishna, dulchhe radha, dulchhe amaar utsomukh”.

          The script is the ridiculous most I have seen. No one of the actor has done a justice in their role as the script except Moubani Sorcar honestly tried to act properly but the support system of the script collapses. Newcomer Riya Ganguly acted as eye-candy with some short dresses. The makers of the film tried to present the film as a black comedy thriller but I am sorry to say that, they have no idea about what the black comedy is. As a whole a worst experience of entertainment.
