My journey to this beautiful yet intense thriller ‘Aamis’ was quite coincidental and that’s what makes it all the more special to me. The film has been beautifully woven with words, thoughts and emotions of all hues and shades... Love and it’s myriad interpretations all culminate at a point where one loses track of that single line which defines the demarcation between the sane and the insane! It took me two days to fully move on from the entrails of the movies 🎥 I started watching with a light heart and a fresh smile which soon paved to intrigue, familiarity, endearment and quickly spiralled down to disbelief, aversion, shock and sadness too... There is this hopeless streak of empathy that you feel for the characters nevertheless and yet you feel conflicted and horrified at the insanity of it all! Lima Das has outdone herself as an artist and that too on a precise note with a shining soul 🤗💓 When you sent me the movie link I know you warned me about the dark shades of the film and yet I was thrown aback at the sheer brilliance of the screenplay, the perfect casting and not to mention the exquisite finesse and balance you brought to both the character transitions of Nirmali. Sumon has been eloquently portrayed on screen by Arghadeep Barua and the rare chemistry between the both is just the right tone, not too dramatic nor too subtle.
I loved the music by Quan Bay lacing the theme of the movie perfectly and at times so soothing too amidst the darkest turns of the movie. Written and directed by Bhaskar Hazarika Aamis is a bold statement that definitely makes you uncomfortable but it still prevents you from being judgemental of Nirmali and Sumon, it’s like how she tells him, at a crucial juncture of the movie ,”I get it.. “ with a sad smile... There is so much vulnerability in the characters and yet as much as an unbelievable sense of intensity with which they commit to their demons! The writing is superlative and so is every other facet of the movie. The film starts off as a casual chilled out reverie and then takes you through this roller coaster ride of emotions which constantly holds you back from having to look at their darkness as they take the journey but at the same time it lets you revel in the conflict that does arise in your soul... Would love really take you that far? What does it mean to be in love ? We have seen a plethora of themes based on forbidden love but never one so intense and thrilling! The fabric of the film is interspersed with the finest ingredients the art of film making could truly muster. 💝
P.S. thank you Indu Sudha for propelling me to write about this gem of a movie for there was something that was making me wonder if I could ever bring myself to write a genuine review that justifies the making of such a wonderful movie...
