Description: “Projapoti Biskut,” a 2017 Bengali film, explores the complexities of marriage in modern times. The story revolves around a young couple, Shaon (Ishaa) and Antor (Aditya), who have been married for over two years but still struggle to connect emotionally. Their relationship is marked by hesitation, small secrets, and a sense of discomfort. Shaon openly expresses her boredom and frustration, while Antor portrays a shy, introverted man who is yet to fully embrace his marital life.
The film’s simplicity is both its strength and weakness. While it portrays a relatable narrative, it lacks a deeper connection with today’s youth. The younger characters are portrayed as somewhat passive, while the older generation, including Shaon’s parents (Aparajita and Shantilal), are bold and outspoken. Despite this, the story retains its charm, though it may not strongly appeal to younger audiences.
The film’s music and diverse characters are notable highlights. Each actor delivers a compelling performance, bringing everyday personalities to life. Aparajita and Shantilal, in particular, stand out with their engaging portrayals, adding depth and humor to the narrative.
“Projapoti Biskut” also excels in its subtle comedy, keeping the audience entertained with light-hearted moments and occasional laughter. The story culminates in a heartwarming conclusion, reaffirming the enduring value of marriage despite its challenges. This makes the film a delightful and meaningful watch for viewers.”
