Rosogolla Movie Review: A Beautiful, Honest And Endearing Tale Of Determination, Conviction And True Love With Some Larger Than Life Performances!
Starring: Ujaan Ganguly , Abantika 
Directed By: Pavel
4/5 Stars


This endearing tale not only shines because it narrates the tale of the birth of a new sweet which is our beloved Rosogolla by the sweetmeat seller Nabin Chandra Das but also it depicts the tale of determination, conviction and true love. 

The film narrates the journey of a sweetmeat seller Nabin Chandra Das (Ujaan Ganguly) who invented the rosogolla for the love he had for his wife Khirod ( Abantika) facing various trials and tribulations in the process. The debut act of the two lead protagnists will stun you. They are realistic, exemplary and in their endearing best. You laugh, cry and feel every emotion with them. The supporting acts of actors like Kharaj Mukherjee, Koushik Sen, Shantilal Mulherjee, Rajatava Dutta, Subhashree Ganguly and Aparajita Auddy too did full justice to their roles.

The movie not only chronicles the foundation of the roshogolla but also it narrates the socio political scenario of the 19th century British Kolkata in the most exemplary way. The cinematography and the production is top notch in recreating the era and the nuances of the renaissance stage of Kolkata where a single individual had the daring streak and the vision to break free of the stereotypes and invent this beloved sweet for the woman he loved.

The soundtrack is beautiful and sets the tone of the film. The characterization, story and the execution reflects the intricate ideation of filmmaker Pavel. The talented duo of Shibhoprasad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy has struck gold again with this one. One main highlight was the hard hitting dialogue of Kharaj Mukherjee which says that the Rosogolla was invented with utmost love, sleepless nights of labor and the purity of the soul.

Watch this one to relish the same sweetness as a bite of a sweet syrupy rosogolla!
