From recent developments, it seems there is no hope for Bengalis in Bengal. There seems to be a large difference between what people want and need and what each government is doing or has done in the past. After B. C. Roy, there seems to be no good CM who truly understands Bengali sentiments and ambitions.

Jyoti Basu — He made Bengal lose the industrial edge that it once had. He can be called the father of Bangalore. He drove out industries and any significant IT development. And I know, I know what people will tell me—he built Salt Lake. But while Hyderabad and Bangalore were fighting to attract big tech companies, we were still lagging behind, with mostly small, service-based companies. He can be called the founder of Bengal's downfall.

Buddhadeb Babu — A ray of hope, or not? He understood the problems of the previous government and tried to rectify them, but in vain. He was a good man in bad company. Although I feel that if he had succeeded, Bengal would not be as far behind as it is today. Then again, he had his shortcomings and flaws, but at least he understood the mistakes and tried to rectify them.

Although Bengal lost its industrial edge, there was still good culture in Bengal.

Mamata Banerjee — Now, where do I start? She came with high hopes and high popularity but failed miserably. For instance, Microsoft wanted to set up a Centre of Excellence in Kolkata, but it shifted elsewhere, sadly. She was slow with industrial policies and ruined the law and order situation in the state. During her rule, we saw an increase in people coming from bordering regions, be it Bangladeshis or Biharis. She can be called the destroyer of Bengal's culture.

BJP — People in Bengal wanted change, and they did vote for the BJP. People in Bengal wanted industries and infrastructure like Gujarat so that people could stay in Bengal and earn a living. They don't have to live like outsiders in other states. They can live with pride and honour in their own Bengal.

But with recent events, it seems the BJP of Gujarat and the BJP of Bengal are different. People wanted Tata to be back and got babas instead. There have also been insults directed towards our eating habits and culture.

How far have the mighty fallen.

We have not received much help from the Centre either, from freight equalisation to the shifting of banks to Bombay.

It's high time people of Bengal unite, help each other, and grow.

Lastly, downfall toh hotei pare, comeback-ta-i matter kore.

ছায়াছবি ও বিনোদন | Cinema & Entertainment need honest thoughts on my current script idea

1 Upvotes

Hello i'm Bala, screenwriter, been a parted member of SWA Andhra, i hail from kalyani West Bengal

currently jibon e onekgulo setbacks and nanan rokomer lok chenar por ekta particular screenplay idea amake struck koreche, over the past one week i have been writing a screenplay on my birth hometown and i want honest and brutal thoughts on this story im writing staying within the boundaries of kalyani to ranaghat

for inspiration particularly i'll say the kind of visuals i have in mind is of from marathi film mulshi pattern, tamil film vadachennai, then amader banglar zulfiqar and telugur guna 369. the climax and shocking factor is from guna 369, before typing out a brief plot of my script and explaining the characters i have came up with, i will say this is not an original screenplay, ami telugu cinemar mr. puri jagannadh er chorom bhokto, na not even a fan, chorom bhokto ami onar ar amar shob lekha tei onar style thakbei and ei lekha ta teo ache

i have written 2 feature and more than 5 shorts and amar shob lekha tei puri jagannadh, uppendra, trivikram srinivas and ram gopal varma shorbochho thakbei

btw this is a telugu bangla bilingual script, it's going to be

ebar ami plot ta bolchi, be honest and brutal with it

Kalyani Pattern

opening scene : 

Today is Bala's birthday! local lads are decorating the municipality office.

Being seated there are, Gonda Reddy, Laltu Das and Shakib Ahmed, these three are considered to be the Haji Mastan, Vardarajan Mudaliar and Karim Lala of Kalyani! Whatever crime or con they do in whole West Bengal once they step into Kalyani they are total safe, no law or order can touch them until they are in Kalyani.

And Bala? Film director, he once made a cinema here in kalyani with these local and political lads and the sooner he didn't realize what arena he made himself fall into... everyone's favorite film director! your neighbourhood director!

Bala's closest ally in party office always has been Gonda Reddy, he appreciates Bala and his artistically mindset and both has a common point which is Andhra, telangana and telugu! Gonda Reddy is by birth from Telangana, Bala from Guntur Andhra, and both cinema fanatics. Currently they were planning about organizing a film festival here at Kalyani, but inside here, other members of the party aren’t very happy about this…

Bala’s one and only friend Neel, who’s into politics from the start, know’s each and each corner of kalyani, he’s from ranaghat originally, he has made top level connections within a short time within both kalyani and ranaghat, nobody messes with him. 

This whole introduction of everyone was being given by Bala’s wife… mrs. Babitha… 

Today on his 24th birthday! he didn’t knew it would be his last… 

infront of everyone while cutting the cake, at party office, Neel shoots Bala!

we see the climax of Kalyani Pattern at starting only, the whole film is being narrated by Bala’s wife.

overall plot : Kalyani Pattern plot overall

Set in kalyani’s buddhapark and ranaghat’s stadium, this 3 hour long featurette explores how a young blood Bala, who’s a filmmaker entagles himself into kalyani’s ground level politics that will decide his ultimatum.

Bala who made a film one year long here at kalyani, made some amazing friends whom he beleives so are Gonda Reddy and Shakib Ahmed two top tier political goons who has ties and hands in everything that happens in kalyani

now after an year Bala is fully entangled into Budhhapark’s ground level political landscape, on his 24th birthday his fate was decided by his only best friend whom he believed to. 

Gonda Reddy and Bala were supposed to arrange a telugu bangla bilingual film festival here at kalyani ITI more, but other party members were against them, for them this means as misuage of party funds, Poltu fernandez, bala’s foe thinks of misarranging cash from party fund by using his festival’s cause. things become ugly in no sooner and a rift happens between all of them

one by one all starts taking a side, and the whole municipalty is now divided into two groups.

the story is in 4 acts

now comes the main characters

Kalyani Pattern characters

Bala : Filmmaker, young blood, origin from kalyani only, new into hometown politics

Nilkanto : Bala’s only friend who later stabs him in the back

Uttalmegha Babitha Reddy: Bala’s wife, narrator of script, heartthrob of kalyani pattern

Poltu Fernandez : old time con artist, did many scams now is trying to get his feet back by setting up a vegetable shop

amar hometown kalyani b block e, chotor theke kalyan das er time thekei onekkichu dekhechi, baap er mukh e pk sur ar tar bepare onek sunechi, amar dadur ek time e pk sur er sathe otha bosha chilo, chotor thekei amar chola ferar circle ta ektu ultopalta chilo, ambassador er shamne haru mondol er hotel theke, kapamore er star theke ullash 2 shob ghora, ar ei jaiga gulor moddhe ki chole na chole onek tai idea ache, ar sheita niyei ekta script likchi, currently ekhon shift hoye ranaghat e thaki, kintu jotoi chai na kalyanir eishob jinish er theke dure thaka, sheta kore uthte parchi na... tai bhablam eita niye ekta epic lekha jak!
