One of the best films to come out of Bengal in a long, long time, Shaheb Bibi Golaam is a mind-bending film which hops from one genre to another with as much ease as it moves from one great performance to another. Without an iota of pretension or constantly trying to mislead the audience, which the other recent Bengali thrillers have mastered, Shaheb Bibi Golaam is a work of pure passion and honesty from the director. Playing with structure, the film connects different story strands through one catastrophic event. All the actors, even the ones in bit roles, are the top of their game. The background score is incredible even though the songs sound from a different film. But overall it's a groundbreaking film which should travel well in the rest of the country given the quality and class of storytelling and treatment.
