Dard

The film was very decent, not a larger than life story like toofan.

But the story was very twisty and brain engaging.

The acting of Shakib Khan was very Good. According to my consideration this is one of the great acting work done by him; he was the sole trump card for the film. And the story was based on the character dulu mia which he played. He did brilliant job, like a Megastar.

And sonal did a great job as well. She looked very natural in the film even though she is not a Bengali speaker. Her acting was accurate.

The chemistry between shakib and sonal felt natural.

The first half was a bit long but is was engaging, will not bore you at all.

The ending will satisfy you.

Definitely recommend film.

Shakib Khan has always proven his versatility and immense talent as an actor. In "DARD-Dorod", he once again shows that there is no limit to improvement. The film presents Shakib Khan in a more refined and powerful avatar, solidifying his position as one of the greatest actors of our time. Watching him perform in "DARD-Dorod" left me in awe-it's undoubtedly one of his best performances to date. This film feels like a groundbreaking addition to Bangladeshi cinema.

Today, I watched the highly anticipated movie "DARD-Dorod", which has brought a new dimension to Bangladeshi cinema. Psychological thrillers are rare in any industry, let alone in ours. But "DARD-Dorod" introduces this genre with a fresh perspective, exploring the concept of Celebrity Worship Syndrome (CWS)-a psychological disorder characterized by an obsessive fascination with celebrities.

Among all the psychological thrillers I've seen, this is the only film that has tackled CWS as a central theme. It's a unique Genre & applied for the first in any Bangladeshi cinema (I think this is the first ever film with this theme), and it's executed successfully. If you enjoy Psychological Thriller films, you're likely to appreciate "DARD-Dorod".

To truly grasp the film's purpose, you'll need to stay engaged until the very end, as the director masterfully unveils the motivations behind the characters step by step.

What impressed me most was the stellar performance by our Megastar, Shakib Khan. His nuanced acting and expressive eyes make "DARD-Dorod" a memorable experience. His performance in the end scenes is so emotionally compelling that it will leave many in tears. This is the Shakib Khan we want to see more of-one who captivates the audience effortlessly.

The chemistry between Shakib Khan and Sonal Chauhan was amazing; they felt perfectly in sync, despite being from different countries. Everyone will love this pairing, and both delivered flawless performances.

Supporting cast members like Rahul Dev, Payel Sarkar, Alok Jain, and Rajesh Sharma also gave commendable performances. However, I expected a bit more from Payel Sarkar's character. New Bangladeshi actress Safa Marwa also appeared in the film, and she did a good job while adding a touch of glamour to the screen.

The setting of the film primarily revolves around Varanasi, India. The cinematography and visuals were enjoyable, with excellent camera work and soothing color palettes. However, I felt the locations could have been utilized even more effectively to enhance the narrative depth.

The background score was phenomenal, enhancing the emotional depth of each scene. The music during Shakib Khan's walk in the final sequence was especially captivating. The film features three songs, with "Jism Mein Tere" partially used as background music in certain scenes, which blended beautifully with the narrative.

If I were to point out flaws, there are.

🎬 Film Review: Dard (2024) Genre: Psychological Thriller No Spoilers

A doctor and a superstar actor are murdered in the city. Is Dulu Mia responsible, or is someone else behind it? To find out, you need to watch Dard.

Expectations from a Shakib Khan movie are typically low. Criticizing his work often invites unpleasant backlash, and even mentioning that you've watched his films may provoke ridicule. Moreover, the controversial director Anonno Mamun is known for creating more buzz than delivering results. While Shakib Khan has been striving to deliver cleaner films since last year, Anonno Mamun's filmography is almost devoid of hits. With this combination, I had no intention of watching this movie. But after watching it, I realized I had been wrong.

✅ Positives:

1. Shakib Khan's brilliant performance in a psycho role - He is evolving, carefully selecting scripts, which is commendable. While he was once criticized for poor-quality films and acting, his efforts to redefine his career deserve applause. His chemistry with Sonal Chauhan is lively, and the emotional scenes are well-executed.

2. A unique concept for Bangladeshi cinema - To my knowledge, this kind of storyline is unprecedented in the industry, and the trailer didn't give much away. The overall plot was quite engaging.

3. A fast-paced screenplay - The narrative never drags or feels stretched unnecessarily, ensuring you're not bored at any point.

4. Background music and cinematography - While the BGM is slightly loud, it effectively sets a thrilling atmosphere. The location in Varanasi and the cinematography stand out. Additionally, Imran's song is the only one that truly touched my heart.

⛔ Negatives:

1. Predictability - The film becomes too predictable, especially for viewers accustomed to watching thrillers. They'll likely figure out everything from the start.

2. Weak dialogue in romantic scenes - While the performances make up for it, the romantic portions could have benefitted from better writing.

3. Over-the-top comedy and villain portrayal - Some of Shakib's comedic scenes feel a bit loud, though not unbearable. The negative characters could have been more distinct to deliver a stronger impact.

4. Underwhelming climax twist - The twist in the climax could have been presented better. The director attempts to leave some aspects unexplained but ends up making it feel incomplete.

Final Thoughts:

Judging films solely by their box office performance is unfair. This movie is clearly targeted at a classy audience, not Shakib Khan's typical fanbase, who may not appreciate it. Neutral viewers, however, might expect a more polished screenplay. The lack of effective promotion, a non-festive release, and Anonno Mamun's marketing missteps could lead to its commercial failure.

Overall, Dard felt like a reasonably good movie. The most surprising elements were Shakib Khan's impressive acting and Anonno Mamun's unexpectedly enjoyable direction. With a more refined screenplay, the twists could have been genuinely surprising.

I can never raise questions about Shakib Khan's acting. He is a genuine pride of our Bangladesh. In Dard, he has given such a good expression that the role of thriller has increased to a large extent.

The way the plot is arranged by the director, writer Mr. Ananya Mamun, is undoubtedly of international standard. I expect more good movies from him.

Funny but ironic, the cinematography is so good that you hold your pee so as not to miss a single part of the movie. VFX , BGM , color grading are in one word outstanding. Everyone tried to give the best from his place. That should be it. Sonal Chauhan's simple, soft Bengali look has impressed me.

Go watch at your near theatre. Happy Watching!
