[greatsongs9]

Anyone knows the name of the music?

[SUBHASHBASU]

A Superb, Lovely Presentation < Hats off to you Dear Friends.

[Aritul]

Easily the coolest video I have seen in a while.

[kallol68]

@indras25

The creative part of the mp tourism ad was done by the bengal's shadow artists only . That's the reason for this similarity you are talking about.

[Lightia]

La sombra nos asusta, hasta que alguien hace algo mágico con ella! Gracias por hacer este tipo de arte y gracias por quien lo "sube" a internet para que muchos mas podamos gozarlo!!

[ssam00]

[1sayanbakshi]

Excellent

[shyamksharma]

amazing how people can dislike this video :P

they must hate their lives

[allansaugat]

@shyamksharma

I am one of them who disliked this... thats coz its a copy of MP Tourism ad

[aditshroff]

@allansaugat

then you are an idiot because where in the MP ad did you see Sourav Ganguly, Mother Teresa or Rabindranath Tagore or Durga Puja. You are also probably jealous and mean minded that you could not do something like this yourself.

[allansaugat]

@aditshroff - LOL DUDE ROFL...

y wud MP show "Sourav Ganguly, Mother Teresa or Rabindranath Tagore or Durga Puja".. badly illiterate guy, its the treatment which is copied by this video from the MP Tourism ad.... hv u made this video?? no wonder....

[aditshroff]

@allansaugat

LOL, exactly, and you are the one saying that it is a copy. obviously hand shadows will remain the same everywhere and not be different for MP or Calcutta. and i have not made this video but happen to be a proud calcuttan which obviously again you are not

[allansaugat]

@aditshroff dude... the treatment is a total copy/theft..... no originality.... and its sooo obvuious... pl open ur horizon.... n look at works other than Tollywood/Prasenjit/tapas Pal

[shyamksharma]

@allansaugat copy?

wake up please, it's still an ART

[GrngulaMC]

@shyamksharma

Those are people who hate themselves to 12 pm, and from 12 pm they hate the rest of the world :D (sorry for possible writting mistakes) peace :D

[18gnpg]

@shyamksharma or to be deadly jealous! :)

[NitramZiarreh]

@shyamksharma I didn't hit dislike, but the music was what kept me from hitting like.

[TheMetalmaster126]

@shyamksharma Well ,i think that only Chuck Norris can dislike such a video...

[vt7ellada]

@shyamksharma or calcutta

[cherishedinnocence]

unbelievable awesome <3

[rontyJodes]

brilliant!

[tomrules37]

fantastic.amazing. what else needs to be said?

[muraliramya2005]

Excellent

[dvkprasad]

Nice shadowplay.Keep it up.

[silmariom]

Maravilloso sin duda

[funwolf100]

this is a part of the creations of the handshadowgraphy duo amar and sabyasachi . with the help of their hands they have captured the metaphor that every calcuttan has in their hearts - that beautiful feeling of appreciating everything simple in all its forms . the insurmountable throbbings of calcuttas passionate heart is portrayed by the artistic genius of the duo . awareness of this art form of handshadowgraphy can only add joy to the duo's illustrios career . kudosssssssssssssssssssss .

[CaliAllyE]

@funwolf100 I really wish your information had been put in the information at the top. It's a shame to have to look so hard to find the names of the artists. Yes, I know, as a producer there was a lot of work and conceptualizing, but really, the cast (no pun intended) should have been listed! It's another case of others profiting from the passion and love of the artist, without giving them credit. Bad public policy, there, to the Producer.

[Burritoproductions1]

WOW, AMAZING

[diadebnath]

very nice but kolkata se zyada yeh video khoobssorat nehi.

[liuanita]

i like the music. Who's the artist?

[allansaugat]

wah wah.... best ad..LOL.. though stolen !!!

[CaliAllyE]

@allansaugat What I hate most is that they gave no credit to the performers, not even in the tags! Fortunately, some one knew who they were (funwolf100). I can't believe that a public relations company would create such a beautiful "feel good" campaign, and then pull such an awful slight! Rather self defeating, at least so far as I'm concerned.

[2booney2]

brilliant



[Dollinha]

It is beautiful. Who did the music?

[drakath166]

9Gaggers Unite! :D

[Pranabray1]

A beautiful and artistic production indeed !

Pranab Ray

[braddugg]

fabulous superb just awesome nice to see this.......calcutta se zyada yeh video khoobssorat hai....but I have been to Calcutta 3 times and each time it echoed CITY OF JOY feeling...so happy and so carefree people never met such a kind ever....kudos to all the makers of this video and thanks to my friend who shared this

[CaliAllyE]

@braddugg Maybe, but the makers of this video neglected to give credit to the artists who created this form, so "all" of them don't get known. As a producer, it sure makes me disgusted…..

[nesquarx]

@CaliAllyE The credits are there, just look at the "Let Calcutta Surprise You

(HD Normal)" version of this video, which is the actual final cut. This was only the rough cut. We haven't been able to remove it because it got linked in so many places.

[nyons2001]

superbe et poétique

[junapurana]

FABULOUS

[rparthas1]

LOVE IT ..BT THE MP ONE WAS BTTR ...I LOVE IT THOUGH MUSIC AND VISUALS ARE IN PERFECT SYNC ;)

[TheDocfazz]

This is just brilliant.. I wish they could show mishti doi somehow!

[saptarsidas]

@TheDocfazz Now that would have been something!!

[ThePriyankabhowmik]

the concept is no doubt same....but depiction is definitely brilliant!

[pitamds]

I do not think it's copy from Madhya Pradesh Tourism. The Idea & the execution are much superior than MP. even the music.

[CaliAllyE]

@pitamds Maybe they had more practice

[arpahudait]

copied from Madhya Pradesh incredible India adv. (by Madhya Pradesh tourism)

[tigerdash]

LOVE MUSIC!!!

[Muktaji]

Brilliant!

[reallybadhairday]

wonderfully evocative, creative, thoughtful, not trying to be flashy, and bloody superbly imaginative.

[Indras25]

@reallybadhairday Creative and imaginative? They stole the idea from the Madya Pradesh's ad

[reallybadhairday]

@Indras25 oh good god! didn't know this till i saw your reply! that's terrible :(

[bigbang1001]

[9832524503]

[ornychick47]

[pam0001000]

[rajullkhona]

[xclusive320]

just awsome.....saw my city ,learnt my city once again....

[Questeroy8]

jst Awesum.......says every bit of my KOLKATA!!!!!! <3ly

[youmciarlaith]

Un'frickin'believable

[fan2436]

Wonderful ad. Awesome. I am overwhelmed the same way when I saw the MP Tourism ad. But for me this is special since I was born in this city. the "city of joy".

[bullumama]

SUPERB MATE REALLY EXTRAORDINARY

[MaD4jEsSe]

Awesome .

[rupakbanerjee]

The city is called Kolkata and not 'Calcutta'.

[einee3080]

That was brilliant.

[gundarajeev]

A welcome note - Modernization - Howrah bridge - Fishing - Cricket - Royal Bengal Tiger - Dussehra - Rabindranath Tagore - Mother Teresa.. everything about Kolkata in one video. AMAZING!!

[mathanki81]

MP tourism rip off.

[13chandru]

Thriller, well done, thanks for all the creativity.

[joycalcutta]

I think the hand shadowgraphy is by Amar and Sabhyasachi Sen

[nesquarx]

@joycalcutta Yes, it is.

[odd1news]

There are many trevel videos of your beautiful contry in my odd1news channel. Please visit it and comment them.

[odd1news]

(cont.ed from below)

The same point was made to me in Mumbai: "I was born in Bombay, not in Mumbai" someone told me. When I studied geography it was Bombay, and I tend to call it Bombay, with no intention to offend anyone. Consider that for foreigners the new Trivandrum's name is quite difficult to remember and pronouncing it correctly is hard task! Thanks for your attention.

[odd1news]

I like this brilliant animation, that must have a deep meaning that I cant't grab, yet. Can anyone help me to understand? I visited India several times but not yet Calcutta/Kalkata: it intrigues me and I will as soon as I can.

Another explanation please, feelings about city names, ols ones vs. new ones.

I was born in Savona, Italy, and its old latin name was Savo Sabatia. Savo Sabatia would not sound as my birthplace, and I would keep calling and writing it Savona.

[agamdilawari]

Creativity at best...very well done :)

[allansaugat]

OK guys.... ur everything is right.. LOL..

The city and the people has best GK... the most cultured people stays in the city... who dnt resort to personal attack on a debate... n this video is the most original.. hope it wins a cannes.. LOL.... buggers

[zubinsarkar]

@allansaugat - I'm sure you'd appreciate the Kolaveri Di piece. You and your tribe are not equipped to understand this piece of artistry.

[allansaugat]

@zubinsarkar

u the custodian of "artistry" should also know that its a COPY of MP Tourism ad.....

Kolaveri Di is at least original....

and as i see, there is nothing original in this ad

[sailaranjan]

@allansaugat That the front cover of sera sandesh was simply copied from the cover of Best of Life did not undermine the genius of Satyajit Ray though nowhere did he acknowledge it!

[Radhikaranjan]

@sailaranjan yeah right.. just like Spielberg never acknowledged stealing ET from Ray. On all this jasoosi about who copied what -- the person who plants potatoes imitates too.

[zubinsarkar]

@allansaugat You're improving - there's some correctness in your post this time, we're indeed custodians of "artistry".

The rest of your post is trash.

The HSG artists in the MP video are from Kolkata, Amar Sen and Sabyasachi Sen - the best two considered in the whole of Asia. These two made this video too and hence an apparent resemblance. The depiction is entirely different so watch closely and acknowledge their effort.

Forgive my vanity, but your contempt & lack of "GK" was not amusing.

[allansaugat]

@zubinsarkar : if my posts are trash, then y r u reacting? LOL... i dont understand.....

[soundlanguage]

@zubinsarkar What a bizarrely snobby, racist, hurtful, caste-reinforcing thing to say.

The Kolaveri Di hook is simple but catchy, what's the harm in that? Tamil music is very playful and inventive... much like shadow puppetry. Neither are so terribly sophisticated when it comes down to it.

Why are you bashing everyone and spreading bad energy?... Insecure? Angry? Seems so. Not good for you or anyone, and certainly won't win you any respect or sanity.

[zubinsarkar]

@soundlanguage Racist and caste-reinforcing? not sure where did that come from. My 'hurtful' response was to a disdainful post that tried to demean an entire culture. Your post on "bad energy.. insecure.. blah blah" ought to have been a response to that post and not mine.

As far as Kolaveri Di is concerned, it has a charm of it own and I'm absolutely in love with it.

@zubinsarkar

3 days back, u wrote that me and my tribe only are in love with "Kolaveri Di" and not sophisticated/intellectually enlightened people like u.. n now u are saying u r "absolutely in love with it. " decide boy.... n then write ur final statement..... or else RIP...
