Stuck between the dilemma of the "muggle"( in Harry's word ) and the no-majs (as referred to in the movie) this classic tale woven by J. K. Rowling and directed by David Yates shows how people of both the lands unite to foster a friendly relationship in search of these fantastic beasts and it is one such beast , the enormous golden eagle , who finally restores peace after much turmoil.
The movie is an adaptation of the book ( picture shown below ) written by J.K. Rowling under the pseudonym of Newt Scamander . According to Rowling , the subject of the book deals with magical creatures as it upholds a fun topic .
No wonder , the movie provided enough situations to split my sides with laughter. One such instance is where one of the magical creatures: whatchamacallit--half platypus , half mole stash away enough gold and jewellery at its belly, behaving more like a thief at times .
The story unfolds its first twist when the suitcases get exchanged between Jacob Kowalski ( Dan Fogler) and Newt Scamander ( Eddie Redmayne ) while both visit a bank , creating an exposition that with several twists and turns will lead to the climax. In the scene , where the suitcases get exchanged I find a strange similarity with a Bengali movied named " Baksho Bodol " ( two Bengali words : Baksho meaning suitcase and bodol meaning exchange ) . Though minute similarity , otherwise the movie seems unique to me in every sense .
Set in the New York of 1926 , the beasts looked fantastic in their own way . Enough magic and wizardry created in the film , I enjoyed walking with Newt Scamander into his world of starnge creatures which houses the weird shaped dinosaur , the blue colored snake , the mega- rhino or the golden eagle.
