Imagine a multi layered cake for the intellectually nimble gourmand, with just the hint of a bitter chocolate leavening. So that the treat does not turn into an unbearably, treacly sweet treat.
By itself, the superbly framed reels would probably have fetched it a must see grade. But the so exquisite locations, the cleverly apt musical interludes, the various utterly down to earth portrayal, (with the carping criticism that Rahul Bose’s Bengali diction does not really fit in with the average Bengalis memories of the North Calcutta upper middle class genteel, poor bhadrolok), the several dexterously interwoven stories; all these and touching interfaces with the Namesake and Apur Sansar make Kalpurush a viewer’s delight.
Perhaps the ideal way to view it would be in several long lazy interludes.
