Last night I attended the inauguration of Bangalore International Film fest. It was a gala function with several top-notch directors from all over India present. A Bengali film " ON the wings of dreams" was screened after the inaugural function.
The film directed by Rabbany Biplob is an innocent story of how a couple find a few notes of foreign currency and how this "wealth" transforms their lives. While they are living in an illusion of great wealth,their dreams and aspirations make them insensitive to the harsh realities around them. As they are building their castles in the air, each family member is drifting away from the other. The film culminates in them realising that these currency notes are from Zaire and now defunct and worthless. This sad realistion brings them back to their senses.
The script is very simple and acting quite powerful. While the cinematography is excellent, the pace of the film tends to slow down a bit half way through. But overall, it is a great effort at showing how greed, dreams and fantasies can impact our lives - sometimes very badly. Considering it is the Director's first film, i think it is a great effort,.
