Description: The Broker 2021 is a Bengali-language film directed by Kamaleshwar Mukherjee. It is based on the drama “Abayab,” written by the director himself. The film was released in India on February 1, 2019.
The story revolves around Agnibha (portrayed by Rajatava), a novelist who is the harshest critic of Isha (played by Gargee). When Agnibha introduces a twist to Isha’s latest story, which focuses on a troubled couple (played by Jisshu and Paayel), the narrative takes an unexpected turn.
The film’s visual style resembles a stage production, featuring a black cyclorama and a defined set that confines the actors’ movements. The continuity usually achieved through spotlight shifts in theater is replaced by camera movements in the film.
While the movie’s experimental nature may deter some viewers, it is worth watching for the exceptional performances. The actors, including Rajatava, Gargee, Jisshu, Paayel, and Anjan Dutt, deliver powerful and emotional portrayals. The set’s limitations allow them to focus intensely on their acting and reactions. The fluid body language, bold expressions, and flat lighting enhance the emotional depth of the film, making it a compelling watch.
