The Neighborhood Angels

You have guests coming at 6 o'clock and you are furiously working. At 5 p.m., the doorbell rings and you, not even half-prepared, calm yourself with difficulty and open the door only to find a kid come to call your daughter to play. The feeling of gratitude is one of its kind!

I watched Samantaral. After watching Kahani and Pari, I was slightly annoyed with Parambrata Chatterjee's sweet characters and I watched Samantaral, looking for a change. Sigh! While the movie's heart is good and Parambrata owns it, his hero Sujon is almost angelic and not just simple-minded. I wonder if many can relate to the character. And just when I begin to submit to the idea, he becomes all too human,  decides to shed the charming optimism and without giving his nephew a chance, says that he doesn't want to see another morning. Why couldn't they make him at least a little angry?
