Can't express my feelings about the movie. This one is a piece of gem. The every element of this movie is quite fabulous, fascinating and laudable, starting from direction, story, screenplay, dialogue, acting, music everything. The main plus point is the acting. Every character has played their role so naturally with the glimpse of being lived the character in real. The another plus point in this movie is its dialogue. Yeah, many slangs have been used in the movie but you can't complain because these abusive language made the movie more realistic. The dialogues are straight forward that it can reach upto the mass, which can be remembered for long time. The x-factor of the movie is its music. Every single song will touch your soul.

I must say that it definitely scores over Srijit Mukherjee's last film 'Autograph'. It has some very bright performances from Prosenjit Chatterjee, Raima Sen, Abir Chatterjee and Rajesh Sharma. But one man who easily scores over everyone else is Goutam Ghose. He truly shines as the poetic-minded hardcore intellectual of a by-gone era. As for Parambrata I found it a little hard to imagine him as a tough cop. However his acting is believable.

The plot has a couple of good surprises that are hard to predict. The story intermingles very well with the plot. The story-telling involves some non-linear sequences as well.(I would love to see more of these non-linear sequences in his future work)The screenplay is very bold. Its the first time I heard so much cursing in a Bangla film. However I still think that it needed a little more polishing(just my humble opinion).

The cinematography is quite good and in a couple of scenes it really stands out. My personal favorite being the first scene where the director successfully captures the eeriness of a north-kolkata gully at night. The climax also has a very unique Ram Gopal Varma-ish kind of camera angle in it.

All-In-All a considerably intelligent watch considering the usual play-with-your-emotions masala Bengali/Hindi fare.

This can be marked as a great work of Srijit. All the actors have done a catchy performance. Especially, Prosenjit has been mindblowing.

The enigmatic way bumba da act surprises me. Sometime he will act in so called typical 'Bengali' films made specifically for rural audience & then he will give these performances. I am really amazed. About others frankly speaking this is the first time I have liked pramabrata. Raima & Abir were good too. Overall it is a spotless movie, everything ranging from screenplay, music, cinematography, camera, acting, and story were near perfect. There are some bold dialog throwing in the movie and few incidence that will put smile in your face but in most of the parts you will be kept guessing what 's going to happen next. Parambrata is a top cop given charge to solve a serial killing. Now his is struck between his girlfriend who also happens to be Abir's best pal and his work. Prosenjit is a former cop with huge experience and when Parambrata and other officers fail to find out any information about the killer, he arrives at the scene to assist Kolkata Police. Will they be able to find out the killer. This remains the question ??

With a watched movie list of around 1800, I sure nowadays can guess a crime thriller within half-time. But I was in for a shock. Or should I say pleasant surprise. Bengali movie is surely being resurrected. Every now and then, you will find a movie that's at par with national standards, if not international. The songs are outstanding, each one surpassing the previous, and aptly, the final end credits song, i.e., Gobheerey jao is the best. Now comes the best part. Am a die-hard Al Pacino fan. A few minutes back, I had a debate with a friend, who has not yet watched the movie. I just said, "It's pointless not giving credit to an actor just because he's Bengali. This performance is surely up there in my rating books beside Pacino's Colonel of Scent of a Woman." Dialogues of this movie are a class apart, with extraordinary subtle power, punched with dry sarcastic humor. Download, buy, go to theaters, do what you can, but take this from a guy who regularly watches Akira Kurosawa, Chris Nolan and sundry, you will regret watching a class act if you don't watch it.
