Bow Barracks Forever - 3 yays, 4 nays, 4 okays

Wogma Review

Bow Barracks Forever has some well-etched out characters and excellent acting by most of the cast. Unfortunately though, the story is pretty much static and has no support whatsoever from the dialogues.

Bow Barracks Forever Movie Review:

[...] Meetu : “Unfortunately, the screenplay and the dialogues make this a drag to watch. Thirty minutes shorter and the movie would improve on both counts, because inevitably all the repetitive lines would have to see the door.” [...]

The movie is hilarious because it is so far from the truth. The producer and director took the worst part of Bow Barracks and portrayed it in a cheap way - there are other parts of Bow Barracks which were not shown. The cast was all Bengali and though the accent was pretty close, the storyline is ridiculous. Like every other community in India, there are the folks who do well and those who don't - nothing was portrayed of the Anglo Indians who had the cream of the crop jobs in India or who went to Colleges and did well and trust me there was a majority of them residing in Calcutta.

The movie is best rated as a comedy of errors.

That is good to know. Not that the audience is naive enough to believe that all anglo-indians live a sad, deprived life, but it was so lop-sided is sad. Oh well...
