Film Review by LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: ‘ADHURA’ by Euphoria Films (2nd Review)


** Thanks to Euphoria Films for requesting us to review their new release. **

** Thanks to our reviewer Mr. Tee Kay for reviewing the short film on behalf of Literoma. **

Dark Romance genre films are not only rare in India but also in the international space, especially when it comes down to short films. As a viewer, I generally do not prefer to watch films with the ageold concept of love triangle, loneliness in love, sacrifice and so on. While I started watching this film 'Adhura', I felt it to be just another film of similar thoughts. However the sudden twist at the end left be dumbstruck.

I don't know whether I should be saying this as a male senior citizen, but the heavy impact of the climax on my mind deferred writing my review for over a week. And perhaps there lies the success of 'Adhura'. Its not only unconventional, but aslo very bold keeping our common social mindset in consideration. I must appreciate the writer Reetwika Banerjee for her guts to write such a powerful plot at this young age and the director Abhijit Sinha for gifting us such a wonderfully adapted short film. Last but not the least, the entire star cast Ajoy, Praveen, Amita and Dhruv executed it so well that adds to the realistic impact of the film on its viewers. The romantic song also brings the perfect break in the journey.

Though there are quite a few technical gaps in the movie, but the climax will let you overlook all such petty discrepancies. I wish my blessings to the young team for all their future endeavours.

Overall, Literoma rates the film as 4.8*/5* and recommends audience to treat their eyes a powerpack bundle. The short film 'Adhura' can be watched in Youtube at:

1.      This is your first published book...what made you compose this one? Ans 1:   I had been writing short stories over the past 10 to 15 years and many of these were published in in-house magazines. Some were also selected   for recognition too. Having travelled the length and breadth of the country, it dawned on me to distil some of my experiences in fact and fiction and create a bouquet of short-stories into a book. I have been a fan of the renowned writer, Sudha Murty and read most of her books and that was certainly an inspiration. 2.      What are your two most favourite short stories from your debut book? Ans 2.   “ The Gift of Love” and “Lost Memories”. Love transcends myriad odds in life and “Gift of Love” is based on a true event of Dharavi, although fictionalised. In “ Lost Memories”, we would like our readers to be sensitive to the growing cases of dementia in society. I have tried to depict the sublime love of a daughter for her father afflicted by su

#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Death Served Cold’ by Sourabh Mukherjee

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** ‘Death Served Cold’ by corporate turned author Sourabh Mukherjee brings an insight to the world of dark feminism. It's a continuum of short narratives based on real incidents; and is thus listed under 'Non fiction' category. Women assassins, over the decades, who have committed world's brutalest murders, have found a corner in Sourabh's latest title. With the advent of technology, research has become quite easy these days and the reason of bringing this point in our review is the extensive details provided by author, supporting each narrative and involved characters. Readers would be left chilled to read the brutalities or coldness with which those murders were committed.  Narration style is also quite absorbing. However, the cover page could have been lot better. It does not appeal to us!  We would like to wish Mr. Mukherjee, the author, all the very best for his future writing stints. Read

Rimli Bhattacharya: The Rising Star of Literoma Galaxy

Image
Author: Rimli Bhattacharya Romance is a popular yet a very difficult genre to explore in literature and that's exactly where Rimli Bhattacharya has ventured into with a smashing record over the years. Her first book 'The Crosshairs of Life' received a warm welcome earlier. However, Rimli's recent release 'That Day It Rained' made it to the Literoma Bestsellers at Book Fair 2021 (Kolkata, New Town). Both of Rimli's story books are tied to the same string of dark romance and nuptial abuses on women. It seems Rimli has mastered the genre with her powerful nib.  Most of her storylines bring out tough dilemmas of women when she is subject to extreme social, psychological or physical assaults by her own family members and/or dear ones. 'Running a Solo Marathon' from her debut book narrates how difficult is the life of a single woman / mother, fighting against all odds of life. Similarly, the title story of her second book, 'That Day It Rained' port
