I went to সৈনিক ক্লাব to watch a Bangla cinema today. They were showing Debashish Biswas directed ‘ ভালোবাসা জিন্দাবাদ ’. I expected a typical storyline, Jhakao Makao dancing, Bangla style মাইর - পিট , fun dialogues and some serious over acting. I exactly got that plus some more! The hero and heroine – Arifeen Shubho & Airin Sultana were fashionably awesome, picturization of songs were top class, humor laid out by the গুন্ডা বাহিনী brought পেট - ফাটানো হাসি and dresses worn by all actor / actresses were well designed. What I did not expect is the way Arifeen Shubho acted. He was just too good. To complement that, the director pulled good acting from the heroine Airin Sultana. Together they looked a fine pair. The storyline is as common as it can gets - college goers fall in love, arrogant father of heroine reacts, sends গুন্ডা several times, hero-heroine do love songs, father confines heroine, hero comes and rescues her and at the end father accepts the hero
