I didn't find the subject matter terribly interesting, but it's got a sweetness to it and it's easy to watch. It comes just after Ghatak's Ajantrik, and at times has a similar goofy sensibility. Lots of "bo-oing!" sound effects. Fortunately, not too much of that. The compositions and camerawork are exceptional. I think Ghatak has the edge over Ray in terms of visual style (although Ray's films tend to be more compelling and emotional).
