The film was announced to be a modern-day take on William Shakespeare’s romantic-tragedy Romeo and Juliet. The film would have land mafia as its background, as told by Aparna Sen.[6] Dev’s character is based on Romeo and Rittika Sen’s character to be based on Juliet. Dev would essay the role of a member of a band named, Garage Band. Rittika Sen, who made her debut in Borbaad, was selected as the lead heroine because Aparna Sen wanted someone who would look ten years younger than the lead actor, so Sen zeroed on her.[7] Yesteryear legend, Waheeda Rehman, who worked with Aparna Sen in 15 Park Avenue, was selected to essay the role of Rittika’s grandmother.[8][9]Arshinagar 2015 full Movie Download,
Theatre actor Anirban Bhattacharya was initially roped to portray the main antagonist[10] but then Jisshu Sengupta was selected to play the flamboyant negative character etched out on the lines of Tybalt, making his debut as a full-fledged antagonist. Anirban Bhattacharya was later on signed to play a supporting role. Apparently, Roopa Ganguly and Kaushik Sen had been cast as son and daughter of Waheeda Rahman, respectively. Actress Jaya Seal Ghosh and filmmaker Kamaleswar Mukherjee are also part of the film. While Jaya would play Dev’s mother, Kamaleswar will be seen as Salim Saab, Rittika’s music teacher. Shankar Chakraborty would enact the role of Dev’s father, while Shantilal Mukherjee would essay the role of a corrupt politician.Arshinagar 2015 full Movie Download.
The high point of the film are the performances. All the actors, including Dev, have performed perfectly. However, Jisshu and Swagata take the cake. Jisshu’s kohl-eyed take on Tybalt adds that right dash of salt to the broth, while Swagata plays the perfect blend of the Nurse and the Chorus, giving the narrative that slight push whenever it needs a twist. Even Rittika does a good job of playing the innocent and playful Zulekha.Romeo and Juliet, a contemporary adaptation, strains of religious intolerance and psychological undercurrents — Arshinagar has all of this and more. So that should have made for a great film, right? But this experiment, which is Aparna Sen’s latest presentation as director after her 2013 hit, Goynar Baksho, falters somewhat in execution.
