Is ‘Best Friendzzz’ The Bengali Version Of '3 Idiots'?
|
|
 Upcoming Bengali film Best Friendzzz, tells the story of three close friends, a subject that is very similar to the Bollywood blockbuster 3 Idiots. But Best Friendzzz is not the Bengali film industry’s take on the Aamir Khan starrer, assures lead actor Mainak. Primarily seen on television, Best Friendzzz
is the first film that introduces Mainak in an important role on the
big screen. And going by his reactions, Mainak is very excited about his
upcoming project where he works under the guidance of established
Bengali filmmaker Swapan Saha.
Swapan Saha has given the Bengali film industry some of the biggest hits in commercial cinema. Therefore Best Friendzzz
comes with a lot of promise and expectations. When he was told that It
is the English title of the film that has caught the attention of the
audience, Swapan Saha promptly replies that the term used as the title
for his movie is a commonly used phrase even amongst people who strictly
speak in only the Bengali language. Thus the filmmaker decided against
replacing the phrase for his film.
Though Swapan Saha’s
justification for the use of an English title sinks in, it is the three
Zs that strike us. It is Mainak who comes to the defence of Swapan Saha
this time, saying that the story is about three friends and therefore
the three Zs! Whatever be the logic, Best Friendzzz has already
struck a chord among the audience in Bengal and they are eagerly
waiting for the film that also stars Biswajit, Sujjoy, Priyanka Sarkar
and Priyanka Ghosh.
