When the shortest month of the year February sets in, we know that winter will soon say “bye-bye” to us in this part of the country. Then, before we know it’s springtime, that incredibly short and fabulous springtime marked with blossoms and baby leaves appearing on trees everywhere. In my own housing complex in Kolkata, I watch with admiration how even the oldest trees spring new flowers and branches as if to welcome the season with open arms.
The palash bursts into a bright fiery red canopy and has rightly found a place of pride in songs and poems, but I never fail to marvel at the good old neem tree right outside my window. Despite being evergreen in nature, it seems to give in a little to the northern winds blowing in December- January, and its crown gets lighter and sparse. Then as February sets in, the spring fairy waves her magic wand and at the tips of branches tiny leaves force their way out blinking in the bright sunlight - pale, nearly translucent, red-pink or red-violet and incredibly delicate. In a matter of days, they turn bright green as they gain length and very soon, the tree is showing off its new outfit of vibrant green, saw-toothed leaves.
Did you care to pause and notice springtime in the city? It’s on right on. Like the films we loved.
Here is Camongo’s list of Bengali films released in February 2026 that stood out for us –
- Adamya – When political promises keep failing repeatedly and the fate of your loved ones and community stays exactly the same or even starts sliding downwards, what do one do? The rebel in Palash is unleashed in Adamya, with circumstances that unfold turning into a fugitive as he flees navigating the treacherous terrain of the Sunderban. Intense, gritty, and fast-paced, the film stars Aryuun Ghosh in the lead role.

- Mon Maaney Na – Timed around Valentine’s Day, Mon Maaney Na is a Bengali musical romantic drama directed by Rahool Mukherjee. The film dwells on the "friends-to-lovers" trope, as it shows us the now-on, now-off relationship between Rahul who is a commitment-phobic, and, as they navigate a sea of emotions, leading up to a major romantic realization near Bidisha’s wedding with Ranojoy.
