Lovesongs – Yesterday Today Tomorrow, a movie that comes and goes without any remarkable impression on you! As per me, even though offbeat films are a matter of inquisitive nosiness, this one fell flat on its nose. Seems like it has been pondered over 22 years for Director Jayabrato Chatterjee to come up with this movie! The last one this journalist cum poet turned film maker (what a conveniently growing path!)

We have Badki and Chutki, Konkona Sensharma, two sisters who live with their aged parents, Anupam Kher and Jaya Bachchan, in Benaras. The family has seen better times, but now has nothing to fall back on except the ancestral haveli. (more…)
