Rituparna in Trishna
Trishna
Cast: Rituparna Sengupta, Angshuman, Arindam Sil, Lokesh Ghosh, Sudipa Basu and others
Director: Pritam Jalan
Trishna is a remake of Jism with a slight twist in the end. As is always the case with any remake, the comparisons are very much obvious. In such a remake , the director’s job becomes all the more difficult because at each and every frame the audience has a ready reference and can easily judge where any slip is showing. And that’s why even the boldest sequence of Rituparna will always be held in comparison with what Bips had done five years back! Be it in scenes where she is prancing on the beach or getting cozy in model-turned-actor Angshuman’s lap, the only question is whether Rituparna took up this film because she was consciously trying to rush in where other Tollywood actors have feared to enter.
Pritam Jalan’s desperate attempt to bring sensuality out of the closet is bold but one wishes he had given more importance to the film’s production value as well. A film on lust needs to be dealt with cautiously so that the steamy scenes don’t seem hilarious. If only Angshuman’s wafer-thin acting skills could match his lean frame as well. Rest of the cast is given justice to their roles . Overall a good attempt.
