That Trishna is a very important film to have released in Tollywood at this juncture is stating the obvious. Not because the posters ran into trouble because of their bold content but because if this kind of a film finds acceptance at the Tollywood box-office, it will make many Bengali directors and producers rethink about the way they ought to package their films to rake in the moolah. And most importantly, if the Bengali film-going audience accepts the sensibilities of this film, it sure will redefine the kind of ventures Tollywood will be seeing in the near future. Of course, Trishna is a remake of Jism with a slight twist in the end. And as is always the case with any remake, the comparisons are obvious. If the remake budget isn't good enough, the director's job becomes all the more difficult because at every point in time the audience has a ready reference and can easily judge where the slip is showing. It's like being a star kid in the industry; the audience is always comparing him to the parent. And that's why even the boldest sequence of Rituparna will always be held in comparison with what Bips had done five years back! Be it in scenes where she is prancing on the beach or getting cozy in model-turned-actor Angshuman's lap, the only question staring in theface is whether Ritu took up this film was because she was consciously trying to rush in where other Tollywood actors have feared to tread? Of course, Pritam Jalan's desperate attempt to bring sensuality out of the closet is bold but one wishes he had given more importance to the film's production value as well. A film on lust needs to be dealt with caution so that the steamy scenes don't seem hilarious. If only Angshuman's wafer-thin acting skills could match his lean frame as well. Like it? Share it!
