Bohurupi

Bohurupi is what we can call Bengali Cinema's answer to the Bollywood Masalas and South Extravaganzas, in its truest sense. Yet it never skipped a bit to beat to the tune of the heartbeat of Bengali audience. There lies Bohurupi's real success. Nandita Roy's home-grown story based on a real incident of bank robbery leaves the audience with an edgy afterthought about the system in our society. And I was thoroughly hooked to the screen presence of Shiboprosad Mukherjee. What a knock-out performance he has given to it! Added to it are the earthy tunes and melodies. Koushani and Ritabhari have done a good job as well! And last but not the least, Abir Chatterjee's Sumanta is the perfect foil to Shiboprosad Mukherjee's Bikram. Bohurupi has all the ingredients to be loved by class and mass alike.

Family Crime Thriller. No violence. Excellent story and story telling. Engaging and a good finish. Could have been made 10min shorter by cutting down the unnecessary songs. But can't really complain as it was a total Paisa wasul movie.
