Tonic

 Films are sometimes for entertainment, sometimes for knowledge or sometimes for experiences. Some films shows the reality of society, some shows fiction or action but there are some films which fill us tremondous positive energy & positivity. Tonic is such a film. It is directed by Avijit Sen.75yrs old  Jaladhar Sen (Paran Bandopadhyay) has many unfulfilled desires, but he leads a controlled life because of the strict regulations set by his son (Neel Mukherjee). The film begins with Jaladhar attending the wedding anniversary celebration of his friend (Biswajit Chakraborty) with his family on a cruise in the middle of the Ganges. Next morning, Jaladhar’s son discusses his parents’ upcoming wedding anniversary. But the plan to celebrate the event on the terrace puts Jaladhar off and his friend makes him even more restless by instilling in him the idea of destination celebration. Through the same friend, Jaladhar is introduced to travel agent Tonic (Dev), who promises to fulfil all of his wishes. Besides planning for a destination anniversary celebration, Jaladhar wants to prove to his son that he is not feeble and old as he is always made to feel. Hence, the entire planning is done without the son's knowledge, which sets the stage for funny moments galore. However, not everything goes as planned and the ageing couple has no option but to head to Darjeeling secretly. In Darjeeling, Jaladhar and Uma (Shakuntala Barua) not only have the time of their lives, but with the continuous persuasion of Tonic, Jaladhar also wins over his fears and proves to himself that he is more youthful than his son will ever be. Tonic treated the old couple as his parents encouraged & participate in many adventures. This movie left a positive , happy & energetic impression in my mind. This teaches us that if we want we can overcome any obstacles in our life with spirit & goodwill. We all have that tonic inside us who can show us the way to happiness.
