Well friends ,first time a movie really compelled me to write a movie review in this blog..although I AM NO FILM CRITIC...kudos to the director Q. (Qaushiq Mukherjee) and his entire crew members and stars namely Anubrata, Joyraj and Rii..
I wont call this a movie,rather its a musical rap and eye-opener to everyone.Basically its a drug induced hallucinating trip...where the protagonist Gandu(played by Anubrata),escapes from his humdrum existence into his dream world,where he fantasizes his carnal desires.
The film shows a teenager, known as Gandu to everyone, in a desperate attempt to escape the life he is imprisoned in. Rap music, his only friend Ricksha (a rickshaw puller from the neighbourhood), attempts to win a lottery and his online escapades to video games and porn keep him on. The movie moves on seamlessly through a stream of illusions, dreams and erotic hallucinations. Primarily a black and white movie, the use of colours in some of the shots has added to the richness of the imageries.

There has been much hype about the sexuality portrayed in the movie,and obviously it is not screened in any of the Indian states.Nevertheless it was shown in Berlin and other film festivals and also previewed at Yale University and was also screened it Slamdance Film festival.
The music of this movie deserves special mention. Rap as a genre is not very popular in Bengal, and all credits go to Q, who is also the lyricist, for the creative use and introduction of Rap music to Bengali cinema. It comes out as the ideal form of music for Gandu to vent out his ever-lingering frustration.
So if you are a cine-lover who regularly complains about the quality of movies our directors produce, don’t. You can now go watch Gandu.
