Usually there isn't much good Bengali movies nowadays. Damal could be such wonderful experience if the director would do justice with it.
First of all. Siam Ahmed should learn acting. He's an over hyped actor who can't act but thinks himself as Leonardo Di Caprio. His overacting in this film was so irritating to watch. In addition to that, his makeup was not so 70's type. His hairstyle, looks, costumes everything was too much modernistic.
On the other hand, Shariful Raaz was top notch in everything. From his makeup to his acting, everything was on board. But, his screen time was less than Siam, which was so unjustified.
Meem was ok, but sometimes her look was so bright, which was not so mergeable with 1971.
Intekhab Dinar's prosthetic was so bad to look as it seemed his skin burnt down at old age.
Other actors were as far as good in their role. But, the romantic storyline of Siam and Sumi's character was unnecessary in my opinion.
The song 'Mon Posh Manena' was not so necessary in that suspensive situation of war. It decreased the tension of war so badly that the viewers forgot that it's a movie on !971 War of bangladesh.
In the Title track, director merged present football team with Shadhin Bangla football team. It was ok, if there wasn't 2 heroines in that song as they were not football players. It appears that the heroines were used as item girls in that song which was so cheap.
The CGI viewers in football gallery was a item of copy pasting which was clearly visible and similar footage of cheerful viewers in gallery used several times. Where it was easy to use different footages.
Overall, it's an overdone film and the film didn't touch the heart at all. After finishing the film, it's confusing to think what should I feel about the movie. Should I sympathize by thinking about the sacrifice and brutality of 1971 or should I feel so glad and dance with the football players for their great achievement.
