Socio-political thrillers are supposed to not only incorporate socio-political constituents but they also meant to house thrill inducing components failing in which almost guaranteed to bring sad, undesirable consequences. And that is exactly what had taken place in this instance.

While the story had all the required ingredients to serve the platter to the fullest, the incoherent screenplay and needless prolongation of the tale makes this case even more so fiddling and futile. Thankfully none of the performances disappoint and for the large majority they play a significant role in keeping you engaged, the only positive I could salvage.

It's again all about Koushik Ganguli. He was the man to watch - as the director and as the actor. All actors did superb - even Prosenjit and Shrabanti.

Not a single character is adorable in the sense; all are flesh and blood real people with their own flaws. They have their own reason for their actions, and no repentance.

Just like in Baise Shravan, the character of Prosenjit has no moral base, still finally he is behind all the incidents, and mishaps.

Still all the characters are very realistic, and their dialogues, actions and body languages are very pertinent.

The plot has its own twist. Every actor has tried to give his best. Both Koushiks, Churni, and even every side actors have marvelled. Every details are impeccable.

I will never be tired of Koushik Ganguli.

Well, I high hopes on this and definitely expected much better from Kaushik Ganguly.

The story had many potentials to be a good murder mystery but was lost between the moral dilemma of historical biases and political correctness. The character development started off pretty well but none of them could present their agenda by the end of the movie. It was unnecessarily stretched using cliched intellectual innuendos. Being a thriller/mystery it definitely lacked the head scratching/nail biting.

However the essence that keeps you glued is the acting and screen presence of Churni, Ambarish and Prasenjit. The screenplay and cinematography was on point, which made it watchable for 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Actually the rating should be between 7 to 8

Without spilling anything, though there is not much to spill that's why it is more important not to spill anything, this was an interesting watch. It had it's dynamics and moments. Performances accross the board was great, specially Kaushik Ganguly. The movie does loose itself as it progresses and some very convenient screenplay liberties were taken at key points. You know what is going to happen, but I guess that is deliberately done because everyone in the movie knows everything and from a directing stand point, there was no reason for the director to think that it is any big reveal. It is not really the kind of thriller that is like, say KGF which is revealing something every 10-15 minutes. It is more in tune with the derangement a family can have because of ideological differences and lust. And this is where the movie shines. I guess the expectations need to be set straight.

It was a good watch, worth the time and well made family drama.
