Movie Review :
The movie “And Once Again” is not a commercial movie but it is not very logical – - non commercial kind of movie. It is kind of documentary which tries to depict the beauty of Indian State Sikkim and the story fails to attract because the scenes are not interconnected .The movie is made by Amol Palekar and it is about a couple Rishi and Manu who go to Sikkim for a pleasure trip and the husband meets a monk who resembles his dead wife. The man wants to try to know the truth behind the resemblance of the monk to his wife.
The past story is that Rishi was married to he woman who is now a monk and they had a kid and the son and the wife disappear one day after an explosion at an international location where Rishi is posted. The story tries to show the impact of violence on life and thought of people but the movie fails to due to low intensity. The monk turned wife doesn’t appear worried of what happened to her and now she is ok with her current status nor she longs to get back to normal life .The current wife who should be worried to see her husband’s ex returning but the effect of all these sequences is not very strong.
The performance of lead actors Rajat Kapoor , Rituparna Sengupta and Antara Mali are ok and the cinematography is nice as one sees Sikkim Mountains and monasteries but the movie does not attracts for the lacks of intensity in presentation, although the script was nice.
Rating: 4/10
