Flop-E is a great inspirational Bangla movie. It creates 2012 by Pritam Sarkar. Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Paoli, Barun Chanda, Suvrojit Dutta are a good performance the movie. When director Pritam Sarkar tried to tell a different story, he should have given more attention to the script, the dialogues and the editing. The story goes nowhere. What do you call a film, which builds one kind of expectation before you enter the hall, confuses you throughout the running time and shrouds you with a sense of disappointment at the end? These are the exact feelings one would experience while watching this movie. "Flop-E" cheated the handful of people who took precious time out of a Saturday to watch it. The story desperately tries to be unique. Barun Chanda plays Pranabesh Mitra, owner of a profitmaking company, who is awarded Businessman of the Year by a Bengali news channel. In a long and tedious panel discussion on the channel — involving side characters delivering memorized dialogues mechanically — Prabanesh realizes while most people in the city are depressed or suicidal, he has not even tasted failure! So after a meeting with his company's manager (one of them is Paoli as Mrittika), he decides to produce a Bengali movie. He anticipates that this movie will not do well, thus giving him the chance of tasting failure. While Mrittika and Pranabesh interviews various producers, directors, actors, scriptwriters of the industry, a side story involving four friends trying to get their foothold in the industry, runs parallel. Rudra (Suvrojit Dutta) is an aspiring director, who has let go of a brilliant career to make movies. How their stories merge with the stories of Pranabesh and Paoli, is what the movie is all about. When director Pritam Sarkar tried to tell a different story, he should have given more attention to the script, the dialogues and the editing. The story goes nowhere. The four friends talk endlessly about what is 'not happening' in their lives, all the characters talk in ridiculously modulated voices, the songs start abruptly. Barun Chanda, Paoli, and Suvrojit Dutta have tried their best to portray the characters, but the others did little to help them. Though the bariwala of one of the friends stands out. The film boasts about "being the first film premiering in London, which stars Sabyasachi Chakraborty", but don't go expecting a great Sabyasachi performance, as his on-screen presence lasts only 10 minutes or so towards the end. Well, by then, you'll be too irritated and bored to appreciate his acting. God help the London audience!
