All have to pay for our sins – This is the central message of 'Raat Jaga Phool' that gain audiences praise. The heart of this film, which marks the silver screen directorial debut of Mir Sabbir, lies in the storyline. It sheds light on the co-existence of human beings and animals like dogs, owls, monkeys, snakes, lizards, and tigers. Such animals play vital roles in the movie.
Particularly, the first 40 minutes of this film will have viewers glued to the screen. The story, music, and cinematography are enchanting. "Raat Jaga Phool" is shot in beautiful locations. Scenes of villages and the rural fair are memorable. Nature is deeply intertwined into the storyline.
The music of the film is excellent. "Bandor Bondhu", voiced by Rahul Ananda to the composition of Emon Chowdhury, stands out. People will be humming the song once they step out of the cinema hall, without knowing the lyrics. Besides, the last song of the film, "Phote Phool Phote, Raat Jaga Phool Phote", voiced by Momotaz, will win over audiences.
It is evident that Mir Sabbir made "Raat Jaga Phool", a government-granted film, with a lot of passion. Besides directing, he was involved with the story, screenplay, dialogues, and music of the project. He has also acted in the film. However, it cannot be said that he succeeded in every area.
The script and dialogues of the movie could have been sharper. Some characters seemed unnecessary, while others were not properly utilised. The story also felt slow at times. Mir Sabbir's acting in the role of Rais Pagla fell short at times. I hope he will take note of such matters before making his second directorial movie. That being said, "Raat Jaga Phool" is a likable film in many ways.
Fazlur Rahman Babu, as expected, is outstanding in the film. The rest of the cast also did a commendable job. "Raat Jaga Phool" was released on the last day of 2021. Such films can make a positive impact on our film industry, if people accept them and rush to the cinema halls to watch them.
