What a weird experience: Jinesh Murali
In my list of #wierdass movies I came across another gem.. #aamis is an Assamese film which means meat / ravening and is directed by the national award winning director #bhaskarhazarika and it was making a lot of noise on Twitter coupla months back.. It was available for rent on a website called #moviesaints and I checked it out.. Boy what a weird experience was that?
The story starts with a lady doctor who has a small kid and her husband is mostly away from home working for the government..Accidentally she befriends a student who’s doing his Phd on exotic meats and eating habits& traditions of the north east.. You’ve one character who’s all class and eats any food only with a spoon and fork and on the other end you’ve a maverick who’s ready to get his hands dirty just for that mesmerising experience.. He introduces exotic meats to her starting with a rabbit and slowly she starts loving to eat meat and gets rid of all her inhibitions and with the ‘eating out’ getting regular you realise that both of them have fallen in love..
They realise it’s immoral and they have their friends constant warning them it’s not right.. They realise physical love is wrong but they mix getting physical and cooking in an absolute gobsmacking weird way.. Not sure if I’m making any sense here but that’s what the movie made me visualise bout and you would almost retch thinking out it..
But the plot gets only weirder from there and I remember reading bout the director where he said he likes to keep thinking of weirder ideas so that it wud keep his content fresh.. Boy sure it did!! But I was also astonished by this whole idea of love and his idea of creating metaphors thereby raising a lot of questions on various taboos and societal norms.. He could have easily created a very bollywoodish venture to titillate the viewer but he smartly stays away from it and instead creates visual metaphors for the viewer to chew on.. Give this movie a chance and I promise you wouldn’t realise shit would get weirder but in a good way 🤣🤣

Never ever have I come across such a unique script: Manthan Dutta
One of the two protagonists says-Eating non-vegetarian (literally meaning aamis in Assamese) food is not the problem but eating it with utmost gluttony is. This is a love story between a forlorn married woman (Dr.Nirmali- played by @drlimadas ) and a young PhD student( Sumon- played by @ojaantrik_jajabor) who bond with each other over the subject of indulgence in non-vegetarian food, especially exotic meats,simultaneously the unimaginable ways of expressing and exchanging love and how this fascination turns into an unwanted complication.
Never ever have I come across such a unique script which starts as a beautiful and soothing tale and then, post interval, albeit insanely disturbing, demands your absolute apprehensive attention to what level of revulsion would happen next. Kudos and bow down to the scriptwriter and director-Bhaskar Hazarika for, let alone directing this kind of a piece but even imagining and penning down such remarkable unusualness! How he effortlessly stitches every single element of different pieces of the story with each other is simply mind-boggling!
First timers- Lima, is wonderful and in certain scenes she’s eerily expressive-overall- finesse personified! Arghadeep, is subtly charming and at the same time creepily disconcerting- first rate! They both are ably supported by the rest of the cast with special mentions to Elias played by Sagar Saurabh and Jumi played by Neetali Das- she is a pleasant spark indeed!
This one is NOT FOR THE WEAK-HEARTED! This one blends beautiful and exotic food platters with a thrilling ugliness and would definitely leave a freak contemplating impact on you! It is indeed one of the best movies of my lifetime (so far) in terms of the originality of the subject and script and would definitely recommend all the cine-lovers to go for it!

I am in awe of this film: The Filmoholic
"Madness is like a gravity, all it takes is a little push". I am in awe of this film. I heard alot about it when it was released and I am not disappointed at all. I will try my best to keep it spoiler free. It's a story of Sumon whose topic for PhD was meat eating habits in North East India. He met Nirmali, a doctor because his vegetarian friend ate excessive meat for the first time in his life and needs an urgent treatment.
.
During their interaction Nirmali got to know his meat love and they start to hang out. He was a good cook so he used to cook different types of meat and she loved to eat them. She was living with her son because her husband mostly away for work. The two of them start hanging out with each other, trying different types of meat that are found in the country. Sumon, who was younger starts having feelings for Nirmali. Niramali, who is strictly against infidelity liked to keep her desire at bay by only confessing the reason for their meet-ups for pure hunger purposes.
.
Overall Aamis is a love story but it's more than that. There are films which follow the popular trend and whose story can be easily predicted then something like Aamis came who dare to break the stereotype and give the audience absolutely a new kind of taste. It's an hauntingly beautiful dish of Bhaskar Hazarika.

SOMETHING LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Where to watch: Moviesaints.com
Aamis is the story of a doctor Nirmali and a Phd student Sumon who bond over their common interest of unusual eating habits. Gradually, as the movie progresses their romance takes a dark, shocking turn.
A story like this has never come out of Indian cinema, this is what @anuragkashyap10 said in one of his interviews and I personally think that a story like this hasn't come out of any cinema in the world.
Even if you've watched 1000 movies of diff languages I bet you haven't watched something like this.
A movie which is much more than being just a boy meets girl story.
All the performances are so natural, you Won't feel like the actors are performing.

আমিষ 🤯
Aamis
Greed is a word that is found in educated and uneducated people of any class.Whose aspirations are always unfulfilled in life..
Amis is also a movie made on such a concept...
There is a doctor named Nirmoli who is a very famous and expensive person in the society, in whose life everything is fine But somewhere an unknown desire of the mind is hidden which she herself does not know about, suddenly she met a student named Sumon who was doing research on food.The connection between them creates a strange eating habit between the two that is beyond the reach of the average person.According to them, all kinds of things can be eaten. A relationship is formed that starts with food and this weird eating habit that is so powerful that it can make people psycho, it shows in this movie..
What we eat, how much, who will consider these? Brain or heart? Why this greed is so terrible?
Outwardly it is a romantic movie but inside it is a different story
There are a few movies in the world that will make you question, Aamis is one such movie

വിശപ്പ്; ഭക്ഷണത്തിനോടും സ്നേഹത്തിനോടും: Sreelakshmi
പ്രണയം എക്കാലത്തും സിനിമയിൽ ആഘോഷിക്കപ്പെട്ടിട്ടുണ്ട്. എന്നാൽ, ഇതുവരെ കണ്ടും കേട്ടും ശീലിച്ച പ്രണയ ചിത്രങ്ങളെ മാറ്റിയെഴുതുകയാണ് 'ആമിസ്' എന്ന ആസാമീസ് ചിത്രം (2019). ഭാസ്കർ ഹസാരിക സംവിധാനം ചെയ്ത ചിത്രത്തിൽ ലിമയും അർഗദീപും അസാമാന്യ അഭിനയം കാഴ്ചവെയ്ക്കുമ്പോൾ ഇരുവരുടേയും ആദ്യ സിനിമയാണെന്ന വസ്തുത കാഴ്ചക്കാരനു അവിശ്വസനീയം തന്നെ.
.
പ്രണയത്തിന് പുതിയ നിർവചനമാണ് നിർമാലിയും സുമോനും പ്രേക്ഷകനിലെത്തിക്കുന്നത്. 'ആമിസ് ' അടങ്ങാത്ത വിശപ്പിന്റെ നേർചിത്രം കൂടിയാണ്. വിശപ്പ് - ഭക്ഷണത്തിനോടും സ്നേഹത്തിനോടും. North-East Meat eating habits - ൽ റിസർച്ച് നടത്തികൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്ന സുമോനേയും ഡോക്ടറായ നിർമാലിയേയും അവർപോലുമറിയാതെചേർത്തുനിർത്തുന്നത് മാംസാഹാരമാണെന്നതാണ് ഇവരുടെ പ്രണയത്തെ വ്യത്യസ്തമാക്കുന്നത്.
.
അകലാൻ ശ്രമിക്കും തോറും അടുപ്പിക്കുന്ന മാന്ത്രിക ശക്തിയായി പ്രണയവും മാംസവും രൂപാന്തരം പ്രാപിക്കുന്നു. വിലക്കപ്പെട്ട മാംസം കഴിക്കുന്നതിലൂടെ വിലക്കപ്പെട്ട പ്രണയത്തെക്കൂടിയാണ് ഇവർ നിർവീര്യമാക്കുന്നത്.
.
" lam going to feed her my own flesh" എന്ന സുമോന്റെ വാക്കുകൾ ഇതിനുമുമ്പ് നമുക്ക് സുപരിചിതമായ പ്രണയത്തിന്റേതല്ല. ഭോജിക്കുന്നതിന്റേയും ഭോജിക്കപ്പെടുന്നതിന്റേയും മറ്റൊരു മുഖമാണിത്. മിക്കവർക്കും മാംസം ഭക്ഷണത്തിൽ പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട ഒരിനം തന്നെയാണ്. എന്നാൽ, പ്രണയത്തിലാകട്ടെ അത് ശരീരമാണ്, പങ്കുവെയ്ക്കലാണ്. ഇവിടെ ശരീരം ഒന്നായി മാറുന്നത് സ്വന്തം മാംസം കൈമാറ്റം ചെയ്യപ്പെടുമ്പോഴാണ്. ഇങ്ങനെ പങ്ക് വെച്ച് കഴിക്കുന്നിടത്താണ് സുമോനും നിർമാലിയും നമുക്കിടയിൽ വിചിത്രമാകുന്നത്. ശാരീരിക ബന്ധത്തിന്റെ സാധ്യതകൾ തങ്ങൾക്കിടയിൽ അപ്രാപ്യമാണെന്ന സുമോന്റെ തിരിച്ചറിവു കൂടിയാണിത്.ഈ പങ്ക് വെയ്ക്കലിലൂടെയാണ് താനെന്നും അവളോടൊപ്പം ചേർന്നു നിൽക്കണമെന്ന ആഗ്രഹം സഫലീകരിക്കപ്പെടുന്നതും.
.
മാംസത്തോടുള്ള അഭിനിവേശം മോർച്ചറിയും കടന്ന് മനുഷ്യവേട്ട വരെ എത്തിനിൽക്കുമ്പോൾ വിശപ്പിന്റേയും പ്രണയത്തിന്റേയും തീവ്രത കാഴ്ചക്കാരനു വ്യക്തമാണ്. മനുഷ്യൻ മനുഷ്യനെ തന്നെ വേട്ടയാടി വിശപ്പകറ്റുന്ന കാലത്തെക്കൂടി ആവിഷ്കരിക്കുന്നിടത്താണ് അസ്വഭാവികത ഒന്നുകൂടി ഉയരുന്നത്. പതിവ് കാഴ്ചകളെ നിരാകരിക്കുന്ന ആമിസിലെ പ്രണയം, കാനിബാലിസം എന്ന ഉന്മാദാവസ്ഥ പ്രാപിക്കുമ്പോൾ, മനസ്സിൽ നടുക്കവും അതിലേറെ വീർപ്പുമുട്ടലുമാണ് അവശേഷിപ്പിക്കുന്നത്.
সিনেমার শেষ দৃশ্যটি দেখে Rene Magritte-এর "The lovers" তৈলচিত্রটির কথা মনে পড়ে যায়: Rudra Ghoshe
সিনেমা - আমিষ
পরিচালক - ভাস্কর হাজরিকা
ভাষা - অসমীয়া
সাল -২০১৯
সাধারণ ভাবে নিজেকে সভ্য-সমাজের শিক্ষিত সচেতন মানুষ হিসেবে সাজিয়ে রাখার চেষ্টা করি সবসময়। যতটা দ্রুত এগিয়ে যাচ্ছে আমাদের সমাজ তার মধ্যে থেকে আধুনিকতার ভঙ্গুর আস্তরনটা সরিয়ে নিলে আদিম প্রবৃত্তিরা ক্ষুধার্তের মত উঁকি দেয়।
স্বামী, সন্তান , সুন্দর একটা সংসার ,মধ্য বয়স্কা মহিলা ডাক্তারের জীবনে প্রবেশ ঘটে পি. এইচ. ডি. শিক্ষার্থী এক যুবকের। প্রতিটি মানুষ জীবনে বিভিন্ন রঙ জমা করে সঠিক ক্যানভাসে প্রলেপ লাগাবে বলে। অন্য ধারার ভাবনাকে হয়তো সেই মানুষটিকেই বলা যায়। ভুল না ঠিক ,পাপ না পুণ্য– সব নীতিবাক্যগুলো মিলিয়ে যায়, সত্যি হয়ে ওঠে নিজের আমিত্ব, নিজের ভাবনা। অলিগলি ধরে জটিল হয়ে ওঠে সময়, অবচেতনের আদিমতা স্পষ্ট হতে থাকে আরো চাওয়ার নেশায়।
খুব সহজ ভাবে সিনেমাটি শুরু হয়।গল্পের অতি সাধারণ চলনে যখন অভ্যস্থ হতে শুরু করবেন ঠিক তখনই খাবেন সজোরে ধাক্কা। একদিকে প্রেমের দৈহিক চেতনার অন্য ডাইমেনশন আর অন্যদিকে সভ্য সমাজের দৃষ্টিভঙ্গি দুটি এগিয়ে দেয় চরম অন্ধকারে।
সিনেমার শেষ দৃশ্যটি দেখে Rene Magritte-এর "The lovers" তৈলচিত্রটির কথা মনে পড়ে যায়। না, এখানে কোনো চুম্বন দৃশ্য নেই হাতের স্পর্শ আছে, দুটো মুখ শুধু পর্দা-আবৃত। আসলে বাইরের কাঠামোকে ছাড়িয়ে অন্তরকে ছুঁয়ে ফেলা।
এইরকম মানুষগুলোর সাথে হয়তো রোজ দেখা হয়, অথবা এই মানুষটি আমি। খুব কম চরিত্র থাকলেও সবাই নিজের জায়গায় স্বভাবিক। মূল দুই চরিত্র সুমন ও নির্মলির ভূমিকায় লিমা দাস এবং অর্ঘ্যদীপ বড়ুয়া অসাধারণ। সিনেমাটোগ্রাফি বেশ ভালো। অতিরিক্ত কোনো এফেক্ট সিনেমাটিকে কৃত্রিম করে দেয়নি।
ভারতীয় চলচ্চিত্রে আঞ্চলিক অবস্থানে একাধিক পরিচালক দাঁড়িয়ে কাজ করে চলেছেন নিজের মতো। জনপ্রিয়তার নিরিখে নয়, সময়ের কালপ্রবাহে এই শিল্পগুলো হয়তো নিজেদের অস্তিত্ব জানান দিয়ে যাবে।
