Bioscopewala
Critic reviews and ratings
-
A sparkling little gem, applause-worthy all the way!
-
...it celebrates humanity across cultural boundaries just as cinema is presented as a means of rebellion. How violence -- in the name of religion or a nation – destroys humans and humanity is showcased through touching visuals.
-
Debutant filmmaker Deb Medhekar has quite skilfully adapted Tagore’s classic story for the screen. He has weaved an emotionally rich spectacle in the form of Bioscopewala about the bond between fathers and daughters.
-
Watch the film if you aren’t averse to experiencing a modern take on a classic. You might come away surprised.
-
A movie for the connoisseurs of art, Bioscopewala is that welcome homecoming of the age old nostalgia (childhood memories) that rekindles our faith in humanity.
-
...is a sweet film to watch if you want to bring back memories of your innocent, carefree, childhood through the lens of the bioscopewala.
-
Walnuts and almonds have been swapped for a cranked-up bioscope in this latest film adaptation, which takes the original story in new, and sometimes interesting, directions.
-
...the enormously evocative aroma of childhood nostalgia that floats through the film — its excesses balanced by the tender interplay between memory and forgetting involving a conflicted father-daughter relationship — and the strong performances, turn it into a poignant and heartfelt adaptation of a beloved tale.
-
...is as much a love letter to Tagore as to cinema.
-
...claims to be “inspired by the characters” of the timeless classic hopes to retain the elements of the original story — of love, loss and redemption. In this pursuit, however, it drags the story in various directions — loosely packs in mystery but keeps it from turning into a procedural investigation.
-
There was great potential here; Bioscopewala realizes only some of it.
-
You come away wondering how they took a wonderful story and spat out a stupid version.
