Aamis : Movie Analysis
Film : Aamis Director : Bhaskar Hazarika Dop : Riju Das Music : Quan Bay Cast : Lima Das and Arghadeep Baruh
Aamis is a Bengali-Assamese word which generally means non-veg.Both of the protagonists have this common trait of love for non veg dishes.However a twisted enough meaning of this word is more than enough to describe the true nature of the movie or story to unfold.The English naming of this movie "Ravening" is more suitable to describe it.
Once in a bluemoon do we get to witness art in a form so rare and raw that it strikes the exact chords in your heart where it rings. Aamis is a chilling tale of two ordinary people with ordinary lives who ordinarily bumps into one another leading to yet another ordinary start of a ordinary affair which results in an extraordinary tale of love, lust, longing and life.
The story of a beautiful lady in her late thirties, who is a doctor by profession and a caring mother and a doting wife in her personal life developing a baffling chemistry with a young PhD student doing research in meat eating habits of people in Northeast India. What starts as a sweet attraction and an innocent bond over the love of food turns into a dangerous and spine chilling addiction of bizarre kind.
With both the leads playing along effortlessly, the movie takes you from what seems like a pleasant dive into calm waters to a twisted lunge into deeper and darker depths that takes the meaning of platonic love to a whole new level.
A quality film in all aspects, Aamis blends the flavors of drama, romance, suspense and psychological thriller into the perfect two hours of entertainment that leaves you wanting for more at the end. Sadistically sophisticated, this is a must see for all adventurous movie aficionados who loves to explore the unconventional, defying- the-norms forms of Indian cinema.
