Dhaka Attack

Really a superb- action-thriller film- specially on the context of Bangladesh. Intelligent plot, the overall execution and cinematography is also brilliant, music is heart-touching and catchy to ear.

In the acting section- protagonist Arefin Shuvoo and ABM Sumon- both heroes looked cool and charismatic as as detective officer and special force commander respectively. Other male characters- including Shatabdi Wadud, Shipon etc also did their best in their roles. But for the female characters- their character formation and acting was somehow just lame- specially Mahiya Mahi as crime journalist- she looked gorgeous (sometimes with excessive make-up!) but both her character and acting seemed a bit disappointing! If female heroines even in such male-dominated crime- thriller film can be presented as side-kicks or helping hands, it would be a lot more exciting I think! Ad placement also seemed tasteless. If such few inconsistencies here and there could be excluded, it would have become an almost-perfect film actually!

Yet- it's a marvelous film- in the second half you have to feel the real thrill- because the final adventuresome exploration begins and the new villain Taskeen Rahman comes to spotlight! In his debut film, he's done really awesome job as a cold-blooded, brutal serial killer. His background is also explored quite thoroughly in this film. So breaking the stereotype of typical Bengali cinema and bringing up a stylish anti-protagonist- it's just awesome and brilliant!And Taskeen Rahman deserves to get a best villain award!

My overall rating- 8/10

So this film is just ground-breaking by introducing stylish police- crime-action in Bangladeshi film industry. It's also getting super- duper hit in box office breaking some records- that also sounds cool and very promising. Conscious audience're rushing to movie theaters and wholeheartedly appreciating films, doing some constructive criticism- that's all we want! Kudos to debuted director Dipankar Dipan, story writer Sunny Sanwar and the whole team for their strenuous effort to bring up such a hi-fi movie and to value the high expectation of awaiting audience- hoping better for the future!And more and more promising directors are coming with their conceptual films, sounds like a golden era..so all the best, go ahead Bangla movie! :)

My review in Bengali for this film-"Dhaka Attack (2017)-Watch all together,enjoy the thrill!" http://bioscopeblog.net/rifat- kabir-sharna/61002

I don't want to talk about the cinematography, making, sound, script, dialogue, casting, screen playing post-production activities because it should come from another directors or film maker.

But as a general audience:

There r some messages for different kind of audience.

1. For school boys: They can dream for being a SWAT member.

2. To Aristocratic Gurdian: Why and how a growing boy can be derailed in spite of having all the facilities but only family crisis. (Taskin)

3. To BCS dreamer: In BCS viva, its a very common question that why BCS police is ur first choice?

How can a chemist play his role in police department?

How a genetic engineer can contribute to Police?

What r the importance of ICT specialist in this sector?

Why we solve analogy?

4. To the traditional directors and Producers:

Film should be based on our history, independence, mythology, sports, army, peace mission, science fiction, Navy, air force and so on.

Film should be based on Bengali nationalism where we can find the reflection of patriotism and victory of humanity.

The movie has a nicely written script along with an excellent direction. the story was totally excellent. from the beginning to end, it was totally good. Specially Arifin Shubho was too good. The movie is worth to watch. The cinematography could be a little better. only for that the rating is 8. otherwise it was an excellent movie with a superb ending

It debuted as Dipankar Dipon as a film director. This movie made the action films of Bangladesh on another level. "Dhaka Attack" delivers what Bangladesh's film audience have been craving for far too long.

At first, there was a attack on a chemical factory and they steal some chemical. After that some dead body were found with some alphabets written on the body. It tells what is going to happen in the city.

If we talk about actors, Arifin Shuvu and ABM Sumon have done a great job in the movie. And the rest of the actors were good. Especially Taskeen Rahman. In my opinion, he is the next generation villain role of Bangladesh.

In Bangladesh movie industry thriller is a very very rare genre. But people love to watch action packed thriller. This movie had promises to be a perfect cop thriller, but then come the traditional romantic melodrama! The 'mighty' Mahia mahi! Dear director, please ask yourself, why there will be a glamour queen for every handsome cop in Bangladeshi films? Why she have to be so dumb, stubborn and gawky? Why she have to express her love in the extreme moment of bomb disposal? Are you serious! There was no need of dancing and singing in beautiful natural scenario. These was just unnecessary and ridiculous.

The story has a good pace and climax. The character of ashfak was portrayed well. Shatabdi wadud and Arifin shuvo was fabulous. But ace of spade was the villain Taskeen. What a chilling look and eyes!

Overall it was a good movie but would have been much better. I hope Dipankar Dipan (The director) will make a real thriller some day! I will advice people to watch the movie to feel the change!
