Calcutta Tube Review:

A Fire Department gets an urgent message from an apartment in Los Angeles. They rush to the spot with all their fire fighters with a reporter and cameraman who were making videos on them.  The tenents in the apartment were sufering from an unknown desease which later was discovered as rabies. The city seals the whole building with everybody inside and does not let a soul out for any excuses. The infected victims act like horrible canines and hurts anybody that comes close to them. Everybody got killed except for the  reporter and the cameraman who, discovers an attic when trying to make an escape. They find an traces of  unsafe experimentation with rodents, an pale, infected man, resembling a skeleton in appearances. The unknown inmate of this horrifying apartment breaks their camera, attacks the cameraman and kills him. The reporter watches this to her horror, and then even more terryfying she is dragged to the dark, screaming.

This is a movie that I wish I had never watched.  The camera was very disturbing, and everything was shot from the view of the reporter making a film on the fire department. So, the moviepitifully  lacks picture stability.  The horror scenes are full of flesh and blood, and lacks imagination and even more, sophistication. The movie was really a low budget one, the sets were were small and gloomy.

It never felt like a real movie.

Anandalok - The Only Bangla Filmy Magazine!

Well, There are so much to write about Anandalok.

Anandalok

  1. My parents never allowed to read Anandalok when I was small due to “adult (?) ” content!
  2. Still Anandalok got some cool raveling pictures of actresses that are not acceptable to many “middle class” families! (However “Choli Ke Piche Kya Hai” dance scene is acceptable in Televisions).
  3. I am now reading the magazine for quite some time.
  4. It is time to say something!

Well, I like Anandalok. First of all just because it is the ONLY bangla magazine that has some information about Tollywood. Anandalok also publish lots of great interviews! I just read the cool interviews with Manna Dey. Well, I get some latest movie release information in Kolkata too along with good bangla movie reviews.

Once in a while it features Mithunda or Jeet! I now know Prosenjit is known by his nick “Bumba”. I now know Chiranjet is coming back to movies and Koyel Mullick should smile less and all that.

All is good but I still have one big complain about Anandalok!

70-80% of Anandalok content is from “Bollywood” movies and actors and actresses. 5-10% about “Hollywood” gossips and only 10-20% about Tollywood movie industry. I really love to see a different ratio there. I get all the Bollywood and Tollywood movie news online. Also there are numerous other magazines about Bollywood and Hollywood movie industry. But there is none about BANGLA CINEMA in KOLKATA.

So, I believe, Anandalok needs one competitor. To raise the quality and content we need one more bangla filmy magazine.

What do you all think? Tell us guys!

Also, if you have read the Latest Anandalok, let me know what do you think about the content!

Thakumar Jhuli - Bengali Animations for Children!
Tkakumar Jhuli


Thakumar Jhuli is basically a set of stories specially for the children. There are also “Thakurdar Jhuli” and so on. In many cases the original writers of the children classic stories are unknown and those stories are passed on via grand parents generations after generations. In Bengali “Thakua or Thakurma” means “Grandmother”. So, basically these are stories told by grandmothers. There are numerous books and publications available by varies publishers on “Thakumar Jhuli” with various different stories.

Dakkhinaranjan Mitra Majumdar became very famous after writing all those children classics as “Banglar Rupkatha - Thakumar Jhuli“.

Here are 7 classic episodes from Thakumar Jhuli that are made in “animated” version using the story line. It would be wonderful to sit with your little ones and watch the seris here.

Hope you like this post.
