Ebar Shabor

The storyline of this movie is just amazing. If you like mysterious movie then you should watch this movie . The acting is super perfect

Ebar Shabor is a sleek film. It is a murder mystery with its fair share of chases, skeletons in the cupboard and shady characters with more facets to them than initially visible. Saswata Chatterjee and Ritwik Chakraborty, perhaps the two best and in-form actors in Bengali cinema at present, deliver two very good performances and are ably supported by the rest of the cast, notably June Malia. The protagonist sleuth, Shabor, is part of the official force, in contrast with the more popular freelancing detectives in Bengali cinema (and literature). This takes way some drama perhaps but enhances the authenticity. There are too many characters in the plot for each to be fully developed in the limited time available, which is a pity as the characters are colourful but we get no more than glimpses into some of them. The sequences of Shabor ruminating in the company of his colleague are some of the best shot, along with the dramatic chases.

To conclude: an entertaining movie, with some accomplished performances.

Seven years post its release, I found myself streaming "Ebar Shabor" on Hoichoi just yesterday, drawn to it after watching the fourth installment, "Tirandaj Shabor" (2022). The allure of diving into the mysterious alleys of Kolkata with detective Shabor Dasgupta was irresistible. His pursuit to unravel the sinister secrets behind Mitali Ghosh's murder in "Ebar Shabor" is a masterclass by director Arindam Sil. This gem, a part of the "Goenda Shabor" series, stands tall as a testament to the richness of Bengali thriller cinema.

Kicking off on a haunting note with Mitali Ghosh's untimely demise on the day she played hostess, the film intricately weaves a narrative of intrigue, deceit, and suspense. Although on the surface, the premise might resemble a quintessential detective tale, its treatment is extraordinary. Throughout, the film is embedded with profound moral lessons, presenting an intricate exploration into human nature and societal complexities.

Arindam Sil, not merely content with directing, also crafts the screenplay with Padmanabha Dasgupta and Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay. Their collective genius keeps viewers riveted, presenting a narrative that's as emotionally resonant as it is suspenseful.

The performances elevate the film to greater heights. The ensemble cast breathes life into the layered characters penned by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, further enhancing the captivating narrative. The movie leaves an indelible mark, urging introspection and, potentially, a longing to experience its allure once more.

To sum it up, "Ebar Shabor" seamlessly blends the traditional elements of a thriller with deep-seated emotional nuances. Far beyond just a murder mystery, it delves into the intricacies of the human soul. For aficionados of meaningful cinema, this film remains an unmissable masterpiece.

Good Movie. Everybody acted well in the movie. BGM was not so good in the movie. The movie was somewhat interesting and thrilling. The movie had many unwanted scenes. Good Movie.
