Yesterday night saw a Bangla movie, ‘Macher Johl’, beautifully inscribed a recipe with relationship. Don’t remember name of actors, what influenced me was the story line and the clean way of picturisation. I never saw it on newspapers or theatre, why so? May be because it was a regional language movie? Or we don’t have the information? The movie is about a famous chef visiting his home town and meeting his mother. Macher Johl means Fish Curry in Bengali. The chef prepares this favourite dish for his mother while she was admitted in hospital going through a difficult phase. Rest I will not say, but what happened next brings the climax. The film explains the sentiments of our society. Every one of us have different views on our life and may be we all are correct or incorrect. Still we need to take a stand on the important aspects of life at certain point of time. Certainly I liked the film.
