Have practically stopped blogging
But live tweeting while watching movies in theater was a thing I started some years back and then that stopped for you-know-what.
one pandemic later, #AHolyConspiracy is the first film I saw, first day first show.
below is the compilation of live tweets.
the sketch below was inspired by something I saw on the way back from the film.
Proudly
displaying the symbol of a doctor, while warding off evil eyes with
shoe tied underneath. Why a cry for a sane human mind free of dogma,
superstition and non-logic like #AHolyConspiracy is relevant today. Venting out in #sketchbook#sketch a #MovieReview
First movie in theatre after March 20। #AHolyConspiracy last one was #BankuBaburBandhu
#nasiruddinSah is as captivating as always #AHolyConspiracy
Difficult not to well up at the sight of #soumitraChatterjee#AHolyConspiracy
I could have made this film #AHolyConspiracy
Feels like i did it
Shockingly direct and bold #AHolyConspiracy
Seems like I am the only viewer in the hall #AHolyConspiracy -- a first for me
I don't know the actor who plays the judge। But he stands shoulder to shoulder with nasiruddin and soumitra #AHolyConspiracy
#AHolyConspiracy may not be one of the most perfectly made films, but it is certainly one of the most perfect films - for today
#AHolyConspiracy is India's cry for sanity. I was the lone audience in the Hall. #SoumitraChatterjee#NasiruddinSah
Screechy seat,damp and dusty hall, kept my mask on to save me from an allergy attack, though I was the only person in the hall -- my experience in। #multiplex after2 yrs #AHolyConspiracy
On the way back after watching #AHolyConspiracy saw a shoe hanging from a doctor's car. Somebody please prescribe doctorbabu to watch the film.

P.S.
it was a bit annoying to see some absurd reviews about why the cast and creed of the actors and their characters not a perfect match (these reviews appear like an extension of the cast politics by majoritarians to me. Saw a similar one about Panchayat, the web series which is probably the best thing in TV/web media since Malgudi Days) or that it has not been a good enough "court room drama" (was it a court room drama?) etc . Everyone is entitled to their opinion. and here's mine. The film may have had its weak points. I suppose the script could have been crisper - the back stories could be more more pertinent. The character of Kausik Sen was probably the weakest point ( what was the point of being weird with the female character or blowing hot and cold with Nasiruddin's character? ). But the only thing such nitpicking achieves is to create diversion from the issues this film tried to draw attention to.
To me this film looked like a straightforward attempt to unearth truth and sanity from the rubble of misinformation and concocted "beliefs". and that's where it succeeds.
