In food movies, the food-cinematography has to be top-notch. Here, the cooking scenes have been able to bring water in the mouth. Ritwick is perfect as the Masterchef Dev D. The cinematography and editing is smart and some plot points deserve a special mention. The food reality show type competition was a good idea. The makers have also ventured into the fish markets.
In times when every other filmmaker is busy holding up mirrors to society (little realising that no one ever sees ugliness in their reflections) Maacher Jhol is refreshingly different. It’s a slice of life with dollops of Bangaliana and a liberal sprinkling of the right spices. But that’s not the film’s core strength. Pratim D Gupta has cooked a continental story that would perhaps taste just as good even if made in Swahili.
