Plot

Madan is an energetic kid who lives with his mother and his paternal grandfather. His friend David excels in playing the piano and inspired by him, Madan wants to know his unknown talent. Madan’s mother tells him that his father, who is in Dubai, is a flutist and Madan also has the same talent as David got from his father. Inspired by his mother's words, he starts learning and dreams of becoming a flutist. But, he doesn’t know that his mother lied. What will happen when he knows the truth? This forms the rest of the story.

Star Performance

 Rituparna Sengupta performs fantastically and impresses the audience. Anurag Kashyap excels well in the given role. Ankan Mallick and Deepro Sen add good support to the film with their performances.

Analysis

Hari Viswanath's direction is good. However, the screenplay didn’t do any magic. The characters are designed properly and the right stars are placed. Rituparna Sengupta’s role is perfectly penned and she is fantastic with her performance. Her character has to feed her son as well as her father-in-law in the absence of her husband. She brought in all the emotions perfectly. Although Anurag got a short-lived role, he perfectly fits and impresses the audience. Although the story and the performances are good, a slow-paced screenplay is the film's biggest setback. The cinematography and music are okayish.

What’s There?

• Performances of the stars are good
• Story is different

What’s Not There?

• The screenplay should have been better

Verdict

The film has a lot of emotions and impressive performances. But, the flat screenplay makes the audience lose their patience. However, Bansuri: The Flute could be watched once!
