Just Ada is an interesting attempt but inexperience of the team gives it away. Given the fairly simple plot, it needed brilliance on other departments, which it is not able to deliver.
In terms of performances, Gaurav as Deep lacks subtlety, however he has performed well the scene of asking Ada’s hand from father. Madhuri as Ada is theatrical in some scenes but emotes beautifully in a sequence without any dialogue. Little Ada is a sweet touch to the movie. Ritwik as Ada’s father is spot on, he was one character which felt most real. Thankfully though the script keeps away from topics like religious or regional differences of the couple, but there are times where movie feels rushed, we don't get to see transition in moods of people, Ada’s extreme step looks sudden.
Technically speaking choices like sepia tint to the movie, including a time lapse shot are indeed interesting for a small film. Bravo. Also having hummable song as part of film is pleasant surprise. Background score, where ever present is nice but it could have been used in more places .On the downside, the voice over could again have been more subtle. No close-ups meant we miss out on characters expressions. Adding more scenes without dialogue could have worked for the movie.
All in all a brave attempt by director Sujoy Ghosh (better than his last Aladdin 
PS including goof ups at the end was a good touch.
