Overall production value is at par with Kolkata productions, most definitely.  Honestly speaking, I was very pleasantly surprised! Nothing in my experience of watching "prabaasi" Bangla theater over the last 17 years prepared me for ENAD.  I mean it.  I look forward to working with you in some capacity some day.

I thought the technical aspects of the production were way far ahead of the other groups. Your team has really become very very good at this. I enjoyed seeing your team on stage and seeing your attempt at bringing together colours, music, flat changing and some variance in acting. That impression is very positive.

The lead role has a “bohuroopee” opportunity given the switching between meek and assertive (workplace), shadharon and attractive (romance-place) etc. Could have been done better, but I thought the protagonist did a decent job. Roles of mother and rich-girl were both well done.

Finally, thanks again for keeping ENAD's stream flowing with your persistence and energy.

Kudos to ENAD on another stellar performance. Really, the CONSISTENCY of the high quality performances your team puts up is an inspiration to all artists!  I thoroughly enjoyed the show.  The acting was excellent. The set was SUPERB---really professional. I liked how the colors showed the change from home-office. I thought each character was brought out very well. In such a short time, we got the pulse of each character very quickly---really liked that.
