Film Review by LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: ‘Hello Mamma’ by Euphoria Films (4th Review)

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

** Thanks to our reviewer Sohini Saha for reviewing the short film on behalf of Literoma. **

A short film that raises a very pertinent concern in today’s world where young graduates relocate far from their homes to work in tough corporate conditions at a very young age. They are not only far from their families and cultures that they are familiar with, but all alone in situations which they have never faced before like low cost housing or hostels. Without friends and family and struggling to fit into new cultures, they are often misunderstood and alienated. This film is about the problems of one such north Indian girl working in South India. Both view points of the North and South are brought out beautifully with an emotional twist as an eye opener.

Reetwika Bannerjee’s story “Maa, Are your listening?” is well chosen to highlight the trials faced by young professionals and the resulting depression when they are misunderstood and alienated within the workplace. Young actors Anupama Negi and Vineeth MV are both to be congratulated for their natural and restrained acting. Full credit to the production/direction team for making a movie that draws you into the story so effectively whilst sending out a strong social message in just over 8 minutes including credits. Literoma rates “Hello Mamma” 4.5*/5* and recommends to audience of any age group.

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
