"Laptop" rests on performances of a cast that doesn't believe in loud acting and know how to create sensitive moments that make up the matrix of contemporary urban tragedies.
The format of a movie narrating relationship stories involvingintertwined characters have been explored by quite a few contemporary Bengali movies. But what sets Kaushik Ganguly's film apart is theunique use of a stolen laptop from an infertility clinic as the main protagonist. Its memory, which retains stored data, uncannily serves to connect as well as distance characters beyond social and geographical barriers.
From a doctor at an infertility clinic (Arindam Sil) to a taxi driver(Rajesh Sharma) via the son (Gaurav Chakraborty) of a hotel manager(Pijush Ganguly), the laptop travels to a visually challenged author(Kaushik Ganguly), his typist (Ananya Chatterjee) and subsequently, toa publisher (Rahul Bose) in search of the kid born as a result of his sperm donation. As the laptop traverses, it touches lives only to change them forever.
When Bengali cinema has just about started addressing issues that have best been left in the closet, Kaushik deserves credit for deciding to choose a subject which, among other things, also explores how a man's ego deals with infertility and sperm donation. The director displays rare frankness in treating issues related to sexuality. If the opening scene comes as a jolt while Rajesh explicitly explains pregnancy issues to his wife in a fertility clinic, subsequent handling of the sexual tension in the relationship between the author and the typist is nuanced with subtlety. Though a little indulgent and prolonged, it's still nice to see Kaushik express his dependence over Ananya that comes with their six years of association. Yet, the practicalities of life doesn't allow for melodrama. The characters live in a time warp and exist for each other without having said that in as many words.
But what is a little surprising is the way the idealist in Kaushik agrees to accept a stolen laptop in lieu of the rent that Pijush's character has not been able to pay. Even more curious is the fact that when time comes to present Ananya her wedding gift, he chooses to give this laptop away. Aren't people who understand and value such delicate relationships more sensitive while choosing their gifts? Another unusual bit is Ananya's knowledge about the technicalities of using a laptop. A women typist, who talks about her 65 speed and that of her neighbour having a speed of 80, belongs to a rare breed in today's times. Perhaps, Kaushik has zeroed in on a rarest of rare characters in this breed who is exposed to the world of laptops and pen drives. If one accepts this with a willing suspension of disbelief, it is also because this track in the film is more elaborate than the others. Those not looking at such detailing will agree that this doesn't take much away from the film if one is ready to believe that the laptop is but a device that connects the dots. At the most, it might make few rue the fact that a little less emphasis on the Kaushik-Ananya track and more detailing of Rahul's backstory would have made for a balanced approach. Small moments between Rahul and the little boy (Pratyay Basu) where the latter tells him to show his tongue if he is to feign death tug at the heart.
Performance-wise, the film has a lot going its way what with the likes of Kaushik, Saswata, Ananya, Churni, Pijush and Rahul coming up with controlled acts. The highpoint of the film is Mayookh Bhaumik's effective and yet unconventional use of silence and sound to explore the loneliness of characters coming to terms with their inadequacies and loss. Don't miss out on how Mayookh uses the background score in the scene Kaushik starts to furiously work with his fingers on the type writer to give vent to his pent-up feelings when Ananya leaves his house. The background score, which uses both live and electronic music, is almost of international standards and justifies why Mayookh bagged a National Award for his work. Sirsha Ray's cinematography does justice to the demands of the narrative and art director Mridul Baidya does well to design the interiors of Kaushik's residence. Finally, "Laptop" rests on performances of a cast that doesn't believe in loud acting and know how to create sensitive .
