Srabon Megher Din (2000)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

People are voting emotionally.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

First of all, I want to say that I always judge each and every inch of a movie after rating a movie and if the movie rated 5 or 6 you can trust this will be a good movie. If the Rating is 7 or 8 the movie will be fantastic. I saw the movie at least 3 times and after saying all the time I said that, "It is a fantastic movie". The story is very simple. The direction and acting were good but not great. There were no outstanding technical aspects or superb production performance. But the songs, locations, and approach of the storytelling were simply outstanding. It could not be better than this. I enjoyed all the songs and till today I am enjoying all the songs. They are evergreen. The placement of these songs and their picturization were perfectly done. I enjoyed all of the moments of "Ore Vabijaan" and "Ekta Chilo Sonar Konna" song. Marvelous!!!The location makes me nostalgic about my childhood and they seemed very realistic and very relevant to the story. Hats off!!!!!Again I am telling the story, direction and acting were not so great because they were very typical and you all see a thousand story like this but believe me this is a great one and you will not regret by seeing this movie.

The title "Srabon Megher Din" means simply "a day in a rainy season". I have watched the movie in theater about 10/11 years ago when I was a college student. The movie can be called a love story where Meher Afroz Shaon fall in love with Zahid Hasan. Another character Mahfuz Ahmed also loves that girl who was brought to their village by her father. Shaon is a village girl who is a little bit moody in type. She loves Zahid but try to hide it sometimes. The story proceeds on. Zahid is a musician. Visitors from the town; specially the doctor lady and her younger sister likes Zahid a lot. But their grandfather did not like it. In this movie a viewer will find the serenity of the villages in Bangladesh, simplicity of the village people, their hospitality to the guests, love, affection. The movie gives us the chance to share some events of the great Liberation War in 1971. The story of the movie is based on the novel with the same title by Humayun Ahmed. Humayun Ahmed is a good script writer as well as director. The performance of the characters in the movie was really up to the mark. If you watch the movie and be able to catch and understand Bangali sentiment you must enjoy it.
