StoryLine:
The Storyteller (2022) Hindi 720p Full Movie: Based on Satyajit Ray’s short story “Golpo Boliye Tarini Khuro” about originality versus plagiarism.
There’s a cover of artificiality in The Storyteller as it starts to narrate the story of a retired serviceman’s (Paresh Rawal) retirement journey as he moves from Kolkata to Ahmedabad and takes up a job. But all that dissolves away as the story dives into its crux, introducing a rather novel (though, not exactly, as this is an adaptation) conflict on film. It’s something that I have not seen before, so naturally it worked for me, albeit less than what succeeds it. The film is centered on Paresh Rawal and Adil Hussain’s effortless performances, also helped by Revathy and Tannishtha Chatterjee. By the end of it, I sat there amazed. This is a good film.
