Did it connect the Bongs ?

CATEGORY : Film-Synopsis

PROLOGUE:-

[It’s about the recently released Beng-lish movie “The Bong Connection”, claimed to be a crossover film directed by Anjan Dutta…No I’m not going to write another sort of film-review here…but previously I read an article on it which pointed it as a satirical take on Bengali lives…I don’t agree, honestly, I didn’t find any satire at all…So did that movie really connect the Bongs ? Or it fails to do so…otherwise, why our interpretations contradict, and these two don’t connect ? ]

Just imagine...
North pole's moving downwards to touch the Southern one
And the South pole's doing just the opposite...
That's the simple quintessence of the film
Not a "film"
Rather an encapsulation of the mindset of today's youth

Initialization involves two parallel journeys...
Person-One from NewYork to Calcutta in quest of music
Probably in its truest form...not perverted by modern orchestra,
And Person-Two heads to Houston from Calcutta
Floating in the blow of hi-tech IT waves...

Time passes by...
Gradually their eventful lives get fulfilled with more events

After hunting at the grass-root level,
Person-One realizes --
Calcutta has moved far ahead the era of Tagore...
Youngs here enjoy at clubs, listen to band-music
Torn between tradition & modernity, they've lost their originality
Older ones pretend to be intellectual giants
Who always criticize without trying to solve the problems,
To make this place sluggish, stagnant, paralyzed…
And ultimately fails to realize his dreams

Person-Two goes beyond the situation of any realization
He stumbles and mumbles as a fish-out-of-water does
Though it takes up lots of days for getting accustomed
But he remains the same 'bangali dudhe-vate' chhele till the end
Being failed to shed-off his strain of inner tradition

Thus two failures converges their lives at the same point
Though their storylines started parallelly
The connecting-factor may be "The Bong Connection"...
But did it really connect the Bongs ???
