Anirban Bhattacharya and Swastika Mukherjee light up this sweet saga of a Hotel. Abir Chatterjee and Parambrata Chatterjee are much too goody good to make an imapct. Anjan Dutto goes over the top, as does Mamata Shankar. Rituparna Sengupta is too underwhelming to get noticed. The film is about a Hotel, and does come into its own at some points.

I shall remember the film for Swastika's grief, and these lines which seem to encapsulate some philosophy- 

Our life is but a winter’s day; 

Some only breakfast and away; 

Others to dinner stay and are full fed; 

The oldest man but sups and goes to bed; 

He that goes soonest has the least to pay.
— A.C. Maffen
