Simanaheen (সীমানাহীন; English: Limitless) is a 2013 Bengali romance film directed by Kevin Dalvi and Ria Mahtab.
Running side-by-side, but in a different time, Kavita (Ismat) is a medical student living obediently with her parents in modern-day Chicago.
Raiyan is similarly torn apart and goes as far as praying at a Hindu temple in order to test his belief that two faiths can live together.
[3] As such, the film is unique in that it features a cast of second-generation Bengali-Americans and diaspora Bengalis from around the United States and is completely composed of newcomers.
The filmmakers also believed such a style and vision was appropriate in "creating a dreamy, nostalgic, and larger than life rendition of partition time Bengal that the modern characters of the film would imagine and dream of.
The Dhally/Tolly Report gave the film 4.4/5 stars, stating, "Simanaheen is a beautiful, timeless love story.
"[5] A fan poll conducted by Bengali distributors and multiplexes gave Simanaheen a rating of 4.7/5 - the highest of any film playing in Bengal in 2013.
[6] Simanaheen holds the record of highest first weekend and first week collections for a Bengali non starcast film.
Tehreen Islam of New Age reported that, "Simanaheen has attracted the audience at large numbers...adding to the positive changes that the Bengali film scenario is going through.".
