Anurag Bagaria Loved it. The simplicity of the story and natural act by Rahul is fabulous. Though may not be welcome by the whole audience but certainly a must watch for the most aesthetic class of people. The character of Rahul is quite close to my heart and possibly for most of the People of Indian Origin staying abroad.It was originally the star- cast that prompted me to view the movie and I have never been disappointed by Rajat and Rahul. Must say they are just great actors. The movie talks about the beauty of relations which are not yet accepted in the society but they can certainly be the most beautiful experience one can feel. The movie made me understand the meaning of "Resonance" in it's actual aesthetic and philosophical sense. People who like Indian movies from actor's class of Irfan Khan, Rajat Kapoor, Rahul Bose, Vinay Pathak etc. must watch this movie. It would certainly be one of the best 2 hours spent.
Chrysanthepop Through the relationship between four characters, Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's 'Anuranan', explores the sensitivity of relationships and how friendly encounters between individuals resonate more with frequency. Beautifully photographed from the raw English countryside (very rarely has it looked good in cinema) to the enchanting mountains of Manali, the spellbinding images that juxtapose with poetry echo in mind long after the film's end. The poems and lyrical dialogues are beautifully written but the story has its flaws. I found the ending to be drastic and rushed. In addition, I thought some of the relationships could have been further developed. The characters are recognizable and in the end 'Anuranan' achieves what it set out to because it focuses on the emotions of the characters and the buildup of resonance. The beautiful Rituparna Sengupta is spellbinding. Rahul Bose delivers another one of his best performances. I doubt Raima Sen has ever looked better and she acts wonderfully. Rajat Kapoor is brilliant as Preeti's sensex obsessed husband.In movies like 'Anuranan', story comes secondary. It is the focus on interactions through dialogue, poetry and metaphor set against the beautiful landscape that is outstanding here and this is why it works. 'Anuranan' resonates.
mmahadevan Didn't like it at all... The whole movie was so amateurish.Cringe cringe cringe moments all over.I appreciate real quality movies like what Amir Khan did with Tare Zameen Par or the regular eye candy fare like Jab we Met. I enjoy all of them. But this one is just a bad movie.Those lines spoken by that Brit woman...Eeeeew.. Those lines were probably written by some 12 year old.and that husband and wife getting into the car after reading the gossip in the newspaper, the guy approaches her and says "If you need anything....." Uggghh cliché alert! cliché alert!
Mausam 'Nandita tells me that flowers bloom in spring. But it is when the flowers bloom, there is spring'. 'Developing closeness is relationship is beautiful when it happens through an unpredictable path'. 'Words are transient, silence is eternal'.It is one-liners such as these and the several, absolutely beautiful, moments between various characters that will stay with you. This is a movie that explores the beauty of relationships. It is a movie that explores the sensitivity or lack of it in people. It is a movie that explores the process of striking a chord between individuals and the chord becomes tighter with time when the frequencies match or lets say resonate!The storyline doesn't do justice to the primary ethos of the movie. The end is somewhat abrupt and unexpected. Some initial setting up of characters is probably unnecessary. Some relationships could be even better explored. But all said and done, the film does a remarkable job at its core strength - in depicting resonance between people.The film has very carefully kept the moral and ethical issues out due to which one is able to focus on the pure emotion. And the film is full of it. Not the emotion in the run-of-the-mill Bollywood film. Instead, an emotion that is honest, pure, touching, possibly one that will stay for sometime.The actors have suited their roles well. Especially, Raima Sen has been very expressive in her different moods and moments. Strongly recommended for those who like movies about human relationships.
