#Shahebbibigolaam is
so much beyond being just a thriller. Its a film that talks about emancipation
of heart, it somewhere smartly presents a slice of our life , it is about love &
longing -it in fact is a beautifully woven love story presented in the guise of
a thriller. Ritwick and Parno are brilliant as Jabed and Rumi . Pratim manages
to beautifully weave the screen play to keep it tight and moving. Anupam Roy's
music is heart touching. The background score helps in building tension.
Editing is crisp and smart cinematography captures Kolkata beautifully. At two

of the seat as you discover the metamorphosis of its protagonists.
