If you give an image search of "Take One Bengali movie" on google these are the first two images that appear.
What do we see in these pictures? Blurry make out scene? So does the film "Take One" belong to the "Ragini SMS" genre? the answer is no. It has something to do with women's liberation, society's narrow perception of women's position in the society and Blah blah boo hoo...the whole works.
Do you think these images convey that message? Or they convey a completely different message, a message that went viral over the internet having versions of the title, "Swastika Mukherjee shoots nude scenes for Bengali film Take One".
The snaps and the line of promotion does plead that come to watch our film because we have your hot heroine in nude. It does not showcase the 'message' of women's liberation on the face of it.(not that I support turning a film into a message board) Does it?
Let's plead innocence of the direction. May be he did not try to spread sensation or may be he did not know what kind of vibes these shooting stills are gonna send out. That does not say much about the director's ability to understand his time but nonetheless lets just consider this.
So judging by the released shooting stills and the newly released posters, the philosophy behind the film cinema can be deduced.
Woman trounced is woman nude in ropes.
Woman liberated is woman nude and making out.
Simple enough. The key word here is nude. Women's story can not be told without stripping her.
But sadly its not the director's philosophy. He is intentionally taking this line of promotion. By exposing and objectifying woman's body (which the film blames the society of doing) director simply wants to sell his film.
This film is more dangerous because the film gives you the mask of Cinema-intellectual to hide behind while you are actually going in for just enjoying a hot makeout scene.
Sorry to say, even that would not satisfy you. Believe me when I say, there are no hot make out scene in this film 'Take one'. What you will see is a very sloppy attempt at a sexual scene which is neither sensual or erotic, not by the virtue of demystification but just simply due to bad filmmaking.
So it will again be one of those impotent attempts of incapable Mainak Bhaumik.
