Shukranu

Bishnu Dev Halder’s story has nothing new. It’s the same old story of a man stuck between his wife and girlfriend which we have seen so many times. However, the backdrop and circumstances which lead to a situation like this bring in the novelty factor. A lot of us have heard about the sterilization drive that happened in India during the emergency period but this film sheds more light on what actually happened and how it affected the people and their lives. The information is laced with humour which keeps the narrative interesting. The good thing is that the comedy works in several portions. Also, the confusion comedy had high chances of getting repetitive and lead to boredom but the writer has done a good job in keeping it sharp and new.
