Sometimes you hear headlines of two people in love end up doing bizzare things for each other, and you very easily conclude, that it isn't sane, not "normal". Aamis is a dive into exactly that, the definition of "normal": in life, in love, your choices and in the society. Set in Assam, the film delves not into love for food (read: meat) but the unquenchable hunger for it. More than a commentary on the food habits of the North eastern part of the country which is hardly Indian enough, Aamis (which means anything that isn't vegetarian) is the story of acceptance. A world where love that unbridles itself of societal norms is still a bigger sin that any human folly could be, Aamis is a sullen reminder that love in a civilised society is a luxury, a fantasy not the best of people can afford.
It's how director Bhaskar Hazarika lets an apparently outlandish and bizzare plot to be woven so seamlessly into a social fabric, that makes it so horrifically real and visceral. The use of sounds and the background music elevates the screenplay to newer dimensions.
Aamis is this great piece of regional cinema, which reaffirms your belief as to how far behind is national cinema staggering in terms of ideas and content. -Shinali.
An addiction in itself: Samya Roy
The most terrifying and gut wrenching viewing experience of my life. My senses went numb to the degree of being rendered unconscious. I had to lie down to give my shaking limbs a rest before resuming the film. The visceral pull is so powerful that it makes you drown in the meaty layers of this sucker punch. It's an addiction in itself. A forbidden pleasure garnished to perfection.
You’ll need a strong stomach to take it in: Handpicked Feed
For anyone that’s harbouring a taste for the unusual, the excellent Assamese film Aamis may be the best thing on the menu. Directed by Bhaskar Hazarika, the film explores appetites, cravings, desires and morals, until it all blends into a dangerous, thrilling cocktail. Watching the two people at the centre of this film exchanging meals that they’ve lovingly cooked for each other, I was reminded fleetingly of The Lunchbox. But in a clever twist, Aamis moves far away from that tender romance.
Both written and directed with extraordinary skill and insight, the film seizes your attention as it unfolds, and then leaves you pondering its themes long after the lights come back on. Be warned, it’s not for the squeamish; you’ll need a strong stomach to take it in. Still, I recommend that you make the time for it.

কাহিনী নিসন্দেহে ব্যতিক্ৰমী। একপ্ৰকাৰ taboo/ insanity/ sadism য়েই মূল বক্তব্য- বিশেষকৈ নিজৰ শৰীৰৰ মঙহ প্ৰেমাস্পদক খুওৱা অথবা যেনেকৈ হ'লেও মানৱ মঙহ খোৱাৰ চেষ্টা কৰাটো।
অভিনয় নায়িকাৰ সুন্দৰ, নায়কৰো, যদিও তেওঁ নায়িকাতকৈ কম নম্বৰ পাব।
কিন্তু নায়িকাৰ গিৰিয়েকে ইমান দিনৰ মূৰত আহিও দেখোন বৰ এটা আৱেগ নেদেখালে। ৰাতি শোৱোতে symbolic হ'লেও দেখুৱাব লাগিছিল যে তেওঁলোকৰ অন্তত: মিলন হৈছে।
দিলীপৰ সংলাপবোৰো থিয়েটাৰী হ'ল কিছু।
নায়িকাৰ বান্ধবীগৰাকীৰ অভিনয় খুব ভাল, দুয়োৰে মাজৰ সংলাপবোৰো বৰ খাপখোৱা, বন্ধুৰ মাজৰ কথাবতৰা তেনেকুৱাই। দুই বান্ধৱীৰ friendly talk ইমান বেছি natural হৈছে যে, গম নাপায় সেয়া অভিনয় বুলি।
সৰু সৰু সংলাপ অত্যন্ত natural হৈছে।
যেনে, ধাবাত মাংস খাবলৈ যাওতে নায়িকাই কোৱা- চামুছ এখন পালেই হ'ল আৰু!
বান্ধৱীয়ে কোৱা- তোৰ তাৰ লগত চব হৈ গ'ল?
নায়কে কোৱা- জহৰাটোৱে মাংস খোৱাৰ লোভত মৰিলেহেঁতেন।

নায়িকাই নায়কতকৈয়ো মাংসৰ প্ৰেমত বেছিকৈ পৰিছে, আনহাতে নায়ক নায়িকাৰ প্ৰেমত ইমান ডুবিছে যে প্ৰেমিকাক সুখী কৰিবলৈ তেওঁ সকলো কৰিব পাৰে।
বন্ধুৰ লগত থাকিও মেছেজত ব্যস্ত থকা নায়কৰ অভিনয়, মুখত সৰু সন্তুষ্টিৰ হাঁহি, প্ৰেমৰ দুনীয়াত মচগুল হৈ থকাৰ উপযুক্ত প্ৰমাণ।
একেবাৰে ক্লাইমেক্সত দুয়ো হাতত ধৰিছে, দৃশ্যটোৱে দৰ্শকৰ মনত যেন বিষাদৰ ৰহণ সানি যায়।
মানৱ মনৰ গোপন তলিৰ ছবি জানিবলৈ আমিষ এখন চাব লগা চিনেমা। (অসমীয়াতহে, হলিউড বলিউডত মানৱ মনৰ অজানা ৰহস্যক লৈ নিৰ্মাণ কৰা চিনেমা আছে)
অসমীয়া চিনেমাৰ গতি পৰিবৰ্তন কৰা ই এক নৱতম শক্তি: Ashish Saikia
দুটা কথা মনত থাকে: প্ৰতাৰণা আৰু ভাল চিনেমা। আমিষ ভাল বুলি কোৱাৰ মই যোগ্য নহয়। অসমীয়া চিনেমাৰ গতি পৰিবৰ্তন কৰা ই এক নৱতম শক্তি। যদি চোৱা নাই , চাওক। অনুৰাগী হিচাপে প্রিয় শিল্পী দুয়োজনলৈ এক উপহাৰ যাছিলোঁ মোৰ ফালৰ পৰা।
Took me two days to fully move on from the entrails: Sajna Vinish
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...

Talks to our collective conscience in the most hard hitting and real way: Bharath Kumar
Watched Assamese movie Aamis, which is an overwhelming juxtaposition of passion, lust, desire and addiction (food & otherwise) stretched to its limits. What follows are the moments of chaos and ramifications of repressed sexuality that slowly pryes the mental stability of its leads. Their forbidden sexual desire and the construct of social relationship which descends into conclusive acts of inhumanity that it compels us to question the entire notion of "normalcy".
Here, meat serves as a metaphor for lust and tension which constantly reminds us that abnormality, just like normality, is a construct.
Narration attempts at representing the disturbed psychological state of an "addict" through symbols of love and unity which consequently turns destructive. The catharsis of the plot arrives to a crescendo in the form of satisfying perpetual cravings for meat portrayed through images of psychological imbalance in a state of trance and hallucinations.
This film is going to shatter your ideas of perceived reality and leave your imagination in splits. This movie made me go through a gamut of emotions! From heartbreak to hate! I feel it talks to our collective conscience in the most hard hitting and real way...this is undoubtedly an outstanding movie going experience and an absolute must watch! A huge mention to the writers and entire cast! BRILLIANT!!!!
One of best movies I have watched in 2019 after Gully Boy, Uyare Movie, and Jersey - Movie

A relationship that becomes metaphysical is perhaps the best one: Kuheli Kar
If you ever feel whether any metamorphosis of real love takes place or not, just watch this film.
All I could conclude from this movie, is only love is not enough to sustain a good relationship, it has to be metaphysical one transcending from the physical domain of the two people associated with the relationship.
A relationship of pure love is a great one, but a relationship that becomes metaphysical is perhaps the best one can go through or have.
I ended up murmuring Donne's poetry;
.
.
.
"If our two loves be one, or, thou and I
Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die." .
Must watch with love. ❤️ .

A few things I noticed and loved in Aamis: Namrata Nath
A few things I noticed and loved in Aamis-
1) Above, below and around
_____________________________
The very first time Sumon and Nirmali meet is on a sunday. He asks her to see a friend who has eaten too much meat. The fact that Nirmali is above him visually is a subtle cue at the age/ morality difference. However, the fact that she agrees to see a patient on sunday is already her doing something forbidden on a very small level- something she doesn't usually do.
The fact that she leaves a place full of greenery/grass/leaves to go with him is a subtle nod at what is to unfold.
2)the joke
___________
In the beginning scenes, there's a point where Elias da tells a joke about a veterinary doctor confessing to a Father of having sex with his patient. While it can be taken on its face value- a harmless joke as Elias Da himself is a veterinarian however, the amount of foreshadowing in Aamis is insane! It can be considered to be pointing towards Nirmali (a doctor) and her patient's (rather the patient's friend) relationship.
3)addictions
_____________
In the upper snapshot, Sumon is talking about Gandhi Puk- an insect that is eaten in some areas and its fluid is a hallucinogen. In the lower snapshot, Nirmali is devouring chicken after dinner.
Thus the question- is it food or a hallucinogen?
The director has repeatedly drawing parallels between food and love Food being something we need to survive, one can argue that the whole discourse is on love instead. Hence he asks a fundamental question is love something we need to survive or is it a drug?
4)Nirmali's transformation
___________________________
While Nirmali's transformation is something that drives Aamis, something that is quite impossible to miss yet Hazarika finds subtle ways to show this too. While in the beginning the thought of consuming beetles was entirely disgusting for her, by intermission, devouring worms, bats or beetles even was almost arousing.
5) whatsapp
____________
Modern love is incomplete without whatsapp. Period. Aamis has used Whatsapp in quite an effective manner. As Nirmali avoids the physicality of their relationship, an online friendship can be a great way to maintain it. While sending/ wanting to send your picture to a lover is completely normal, it is a bit unnecessary between friends. Hence she sends her picture with her son- a smart way to do what lovers do, and still be able to rationalise it to her conscience.
6) badulir mankho (bat meat)
______________________________
From the very beginning, Nirmali is shown to be morally staunch woman. She doesn't approve of extra marital affairs. Her conscience finds it difficult to define what she feels for Sumon. Hence when she wants to eat bat meat - a forbidden meat, in her mind, she is doing something forbidden with Sumon. Yet she can rationalise it to herself that it is just food. It is clearly seen that she fiddles with her wedding ring as she discusses to go with Sumon to eat bat meat.
7) touch - me - not
____________________
In a blink-and-you-miss-it shot, on their way to eat Badulir mankho (bat meat), there is this shot of a touch me not plant. The leaves curl inwards as the car passes it probably because something touched it. A subtle parallel is drawn here as well. Nirmali can very well be a touch-me-not, whenever Sumon attempts to touch her, she curls inwards.
Touch is forbidden-touch-me-not.
8) the ending
______________
The ending, is unquestionably, the best part of the movie and establishes this genre defying venture as a love story at its very heart. Sumon speaks, in an earlier part of the movie, that the concept of normal is not universal. Not only is it a nod to unusual eating practices but also to human morality.
Aamis repeatedly shatters societal beliefs and taboos- from cannibalism to adultery, it questions the audience. It is important to note that it is the first time Sumon and Nirmali have touched each other. Love might be the end of us but in the end, love shall always be there for us.

പ്രണയം പറയാൻ സുമൻ സ്വീകരിച്ച വഴി മാംസാഹാരത്തിലൂടെയാണ്!: SG Sugil

Phd വിദ്യാർത്ഥിയും മാംസാഹാര പ്രീയനും സ്വന്തമായി വേട്ടയാടിയോ വാങ്ങിയോ പാചകം ചെയ്തു കഴിക്കുന്ന മീറ്റ് ക്ലബ് എന്ന സൗഹൃദ കൂട്ടായ്മയിലെ അംഗവുമാണ് സുമൻ. ഒരുദിവസം ഒരു പ്രത്യേക സാഹചര്യത്തിൽ സുമന് നിർമലിയുടെ സഹായം വേണ്ടി വരുന്നു. സഹായത്തിന് പ്രത്യുപകാരമായി പണത്തിന് പകരം മീറ്റ് ക്ലബിൽ ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്ന ആഹാരം എപ്പോഴെങ്കിലും തന്നാൽ മതിയെന്നു പറഞ്ഞു അവർ പിരിയുന്നു. നിർമലി തമാശക്ക് പറഞ്ഞത് ആണെങ്കിലും സുമൻ പാചകം ചെയ്ത ആഹാരം നിർമലിക്ക് നൽകുന്നു. സ്വാദിഷ്ടമായ ആ മാംസാഹാരത്തിലൂടെ അവർ അടുക്കുന്നു. പിന്നീട് ഇടക്കെപ്പോഴോ സുമനും അവനെക്കാൾ പ്രായകൂടുതൽ ഉള്ള നിർമലിക്കും പരസ്പരം സൗഹൃദത്തിനുമപ്പുറം ഒരിഷ്ടം തോനുന്നു. എന്നാൽ ഒരിക്കലും അവർ അത് തുറന്നു പറയുന്നില്ല. പ്രണയം പറയാൻ സുമൻ സ്വീകരിച്ച വഴി വിവിധയിനം സ്വാദിഷ്ടമായ മാംസാഹാരത്തിലൂടെയാണ്. തുടർന്നുള്ള അവരുടെ ജീവിതമാണ് “ആമിസ്” പറയുന്നത്.

The best film of 21st century: Pankaj
Aamis is the weird, fascinating,quite horrifying, musical and soothing tale of a man, love and food.
Here Meat is a metaphor of forbidden love in Aamis. It is the best film of 21st century or we can say decade. Hazarika had succeeded in telling this story by extreme engagement of audience's. And he very Cleverly used every element as a syntax or metaphor. Here music provides a deep emotional affection and to bring the meaning out the well. there are some scenes which are still stuck in my mind as I perceive it with my own interpretation.
I always have thought of expression of love out of the formal and used boxes, here Hazarika exactly explains the way to expression of love where touch remains invisible.
Every single shot, movement, acting beat and bgm is to the point to express the thought. It actually reminded me of Hitchcock films and his treatment.
So the watching the Aamis was a great learning experience for me that's why I am damn sure to call it a Masterpiece.
Must watch it will move you for sure. ( "I have never found such a taste before." _ nirmali ) -

#আমিষ এখন সফল চিনেমা, মনক জোকাৰি যাব পৰা চিনেমা। কিন্তু চিনেমাখন চাই মই বেয়া পালোঁ। মোৰ মনটোক ই ঠিকেই জোকাৰি গ'ল, কিন্তু চিনেমাখন উপভোগ্য মোৰ বাবে নহ'ল। স্পষ্টকৈ প্ৰকাশ কৰা বাবে আপোনালোকে হয়তো মোক বেয়া পাব, যুক্তি দিব, আমিষ কিয় অনন্য। হয়, কাৰিকৰী দিশ, প্ৰকাশ ভংগী, অভিনয়, সাজ সজ্জা, আলাপ এই সকলোফালৰ পৰা আমিষ অনন্য। কিন্তু খুট পালোঁ কাহিনীত। চিনেমাখনৰ জৰিয়তে আচলতে আত্মিক প্ৰেম যদি দেখুৱাব বিচাৰিছিল, মই তাত দেখা পালোঁ শৰীৰৰ ক্ষুধা। আপুনি ক'ব তাত সুযোগ পোৱাৰ পাছতো মিলনৰ কোনো দৃশ্য নাই। মই দেখুৱাই দিওঁ আহক, মিলনৰ আকাংক্ষা তাত মানসিক চিন্তাত আছে, য'ত শাৰীৰিক পৰিতৃপ্তিৰ বাবে অন্য পন্থা গ্ৰহণ কৰা দেখুৱাইছে, দেখুৱাইছে তেওঁৰ প্ৰিয় নাৰীৰ দেহৰ ভাঁজৰ কল্পনা কৰা। আত্মিক প্ৰেমত দেহৰ চিন্তা আহে জানো মনত?
দ্বিতীয় মাংসৰ লোভ। যুক্তি দেখিছোঁ, মাংস নহৈ অন্য খাদ্যও হ'ব পাৰিলে হয়। হয় পাৰিলে হয়। কিন্তু নহ'ল। কি মাংসৰ লোভ, শৰীৰৰ মাংসৰ লোভ। শাৰীৰিক সম্বন্ধ মিলনৰ দ্বাৰা যিহেতু সম্ভৱ নহয়, অন্য ধৰণে হওক, ইজনে সিজনৰ শৰীৰৰ অংশ খাই!!
ইয়াক আত্মিক নিৰ্মল প্ৰেম বুলি নক'ব। কাৰণ আত্মিক প্ৰেমৰ স্তৰ কিমান পবিত্ৰ হ'ব পাৰে মই দেখিছোঁ।
মই ভাবোঁ এটি শিল্পৰ সমাজৰ প্ৰতি কিছু দায়িত্ব থাকিব লাগে। যদি ধনাত্মক ভাব দিব নোৱাৰে অন্ততঃ ঋণাত্মক নিদিয়ক। আজিৰ দিনৰ কৈশোৰসকল বেয়া দিশবোৰলৈ সহজেই আকৰ্ষিত হয়, আশা কৰিছোঁ এনে প্ৰেম তেওঁলোকৰ আদৰ্শ নহওক। এনে মানসিকতা তেওঁলোকৰ আদৰ্শ নহওক।
চিনেমাখনৰ নিৰ্মাতাৰ কষ্টক মই সন্মান কৰোঁ। বাকী সকলো ভাল। কিন্তু কথাটো এনেকুৱা হ'ল, আপুনি বিভিন্ন ঠাইৰ বিভিন্ন উত্তম পাচলি আনি মোৰ বাবে খুব কষ্টকৈ কিবা এখন ৰান্ধিছে। ৰন্ধাৰ সময়ত গোন্ধে আমোলমোলাই গৈছে আৰু মই খাবলৈ অধৈৰ্য্য হৈ পৰিছো, কিন্তু আপুনি মোক ৰ'ব কৈছে আৰু এখন থালত চকুত লগাকৈ, মন ভৰাকৈ সজাই মোক পৰিবেশন কৰিছে। মই হেপাহেঁৰে প্ৰথম চামুচ মুখত ভৰাইছোঁ কিন্তু নিমখ ইমানেই বেছি যে মই সেইখিনিও গিলিব নোৱাৰিলোঁ। তাৰ মানে কি মই আপোনাৰ কষ্টক, পৰিবেশন শৈলীকো নশলাগিম নেকি? শলাগিম, আপোনাৰ কষ্টক সন্মান কৰিম, কিন্তু ইয়াকো আপুনি মানি ল'ব লাগিব যে আপুনি পৰিবেশন কৰা আহাৰ মই গ্ৰহণ কৰিব নোৱাৰিলোঁ। কাৰণ ই খোৱাৰ যোগ্য নহয়।
মোৰ বাবে আমিষখনো তেনেকুৱাই হ'ল। চকুৰ তৃপ্তি হ'ল। মনৰ অশান্তি হ'ল। মোৰ মনক জোকাৰি যোৱা বাবেই ভাল বুলি মই ক'ব নোৱাৰিম। বেয়াকৈ জোকাৰা কথাবোৰক বেয়া ল'গা বুলিয়ে প্ৰকাশ কৰিম।

Criminal, yet complete: Chandamita
Dear Sumon,
The first time you met Nirmali, it was a chance meeting. No doctors being available on Sunday, you literally begged her to check up on your sick friend. While discussing how your friend fell sick in the first place, you told her about the meat club you had formed with your friends, where the primary rule was to eat fresh meat that was cooked the right way. You also told her about your research project which revolved around different meat-eating habits in the north-east, and she asked you to bring her a dish specially cooked by you. That's how it all began, that's how you were led into this passionate ride with her with no passage of return.
Your bonding with Nirmali grew beautifully, despite the considerable difference in both of your lives. She - a middle-aged married paediatrician, you - a young PhD scholar with a zeal for life. Both of you went on several meat-eating endeavours; starting from mutton, wild rabbits to foul smelling insects. You were habituated to consuming such exotic meats, but Nirmali wasn't. It was probably the only adventurous thing she had done in years. With a school-going kid at home and a dedicated doctor husband staying away from home for most of the time, she was suffocating in her own breath until you came along, with a whiff of fresh air that smelled like raw love and well-cooked meat.
Both of you could feel your hearts yearning to hear the other's beats, yet the societal shackles kept your desires suppressed. When Nirmali's lips craved for your touch, she kissed her husband as passionately as she felt for you. And you figured out a way to be able to immerse yourself in her without really touching her. Crazy as it sounds, but isn't that how love in its most vulnerable form supposed to be?
You didn't realise what you were getting into when you asked Elias Da to cut a chunk of meat from your thigh for the first time. For him, it was just another experiment you wanted to do, to aid your research.
For you, it was the only way for you to be able to get inside your lover's body without jumping on a bed with her. That's exactly what you had said, right? I could never forget the look on your face when you uttered those words. It shone with sheer love, and my poor heart was sold.
When Nirmali tasted you for the first time, she experienced a state of ecstasy, something that was completely alien to her and yet a single feed was enough to get her addicted to that state of being high on love. Knowing that it was you who she consumed, didn't deter her from craving for more and more of human flesh. You obliged, like an obedient lover, and the smile that you carried on your face, for being able to please her, was unforgettable. It's still fresh in my mind.
You became a fool in love, just as any of us do, but you know when I started rooting for you? Seeing you puke when Nirmali showed you the bandage on her leg as an answer to what meat she had cooked for you. For you, it was never about meat, it was never about anything other than Nirmali. All you did was love her unconditionally, with all her flaws. For you, meat was a metaphor for love, the only way you could come up with to become one with your lover. But for Nirmali, that love transcended to gluttony - a deadly sin. Punishment was inevitable.
My heart ached for you when you were ready to take someone's life for her, to fulfil her growing greed for human meat. When you got caught, and your chats with Nirmali were found, your love story made headlines. For the world, you were just a cannibalistic couple, clearly out of their mind. They degraded the purity of your emotions into mere meat, I can't imagine how hurtful it must have been. But you probably didn't give a damn about any of this as long as she was by your side. How could you, when this tragic ending to your story only brought her closer, giving her the courage to hold your hand infront of the whole world? When I witnessed her slipping a hand onto yours, chills ran down my spine. In that moment, Nirmali finally named her yours. I was left with happy tears, a hollow heart but a heavy mind.
I have no idea how things went for both of you afterwards. I can only guess, it got real ugly. You deserved a better end, Sumon. So did Nirmali. But maybe this was how your love story was destined to be. Criminal, yet complete.
With love,
Another hopeless lover.

The best movie I have seen this year so far: Alrahji Sathik
Aamis literally means non vegetarian. ( You will understand when you watch the film )
A lonely, married woman bonds with a younger man over their shared love of unusual foods. As their excursions become more adventurous, their relationship begins to take a dark turn. Which gives you chills from inside.
The best movie I have seen this year so far
The most weird or odd movie I have ever seen in my life (in a good way) . I expected a totally different ride after watching the trailer and it's not what I thought and what you think. This is the movie that is going to give you lots of surprises and wierd or odd feeling that no other film have ever given to you. If I tell you about the plot of the film you would think this movie would be another normal forbidden romantic film. Indeed it is yet very different. I really don't know how to put in words about this film. Just go watch it. "It's not meat that caused him food poisoning it's the gluttony towards it" .
This dialogue is what the film is about . You need a sharp attention to understand it. I like how the director says so many things indirectly in the movie. He keeps it where nobody notices.
This movie also strongly conveys a message that one part of the world consider something bad while the same thing is considered nothing wrong in doing it.
There are so many minute things I can keep on talking about this film but it will all turn out to be spoilers.
The sound design of this film felt too real. I felt like ASMR .
I have to talk about the acting, the main two lead did an excellent job. I thought they are some well known actors from that industry and then came to know that this is their first feature film they have acted. That's how the acting was too real.
I highly highly recommend this wierd yet wierdly satisfied film in a good way.

A Tribute to a masterpiece I'd insist my ancestors to watch out.
এই মুভিটা আমাকে মুগ্ধ করেছে: Shahadat Russell
এই মুভিটা আমাকে মুগ্ধ করেছে। অনেকদিন পর এই একটা মুভিকে আমি দ্রুততম সময়ে তিনবার দেখেছি। চেনাজানা গল্পের বাহিরে এটা একটা মুক্ত হাওয়া।
তবে এই মুভিটা সবার জন্য উপযোগী নয়। উপযোগী নয় মানে হচ্ছে দর্শককে আমিষ নির্মোহভাবে দেখার বোঝার ও অনুভব করার জন্য সময় দরকার। আমাদের দর্শকের বড় অংশই এখন পর্যন্ত এতোটা প্রাপ্তমনস্ক দর্শক হয়ে ওঠেনি।
আমি ভীষণভাবে চাই আমিষের মতো আরো মুভি হোক যে'ই মুভি আমাদেরকে হতভম্ব করে রাখবে অনেকটা সময়।
আসামের ছোট্টো ইন্ডাস্ট্রি থেকে আমিষ তৈরি হচ্ছে। এই ধারা অব্যাহত থাকলে ঢালিউড তো দুধের শিশু বলিউডকেও নতুন করে নিজেদের মুখ দেখতে হবে আয়নায়।
আমার কাছে আমিষের সবচেয়ে পছন্দের দিক এর মিউজিক কালার কম্পোজিশন ও অভিনয়ের একটা পরিমিত উপস্থাপন।
