Gora

Ritwik da once again mesmerizes with a stellat performance. Simply one of his best works. What an amazing story. Sayantan Ghosal once again a remarkable job.

An atypical murder mystery, a lunatic intellectual with his devoted deputy and a woman with a medical history of sleepwalking; together they formulate this flawed yet amusing detective story, that I'm certain would be applauded by many.

Albeit very much akin to Hoichoi's earlier ventures; the commitments and the urgency shown by the makers should be celebrated anyway. A sincere attempt at doing something along the lines of contemporary investigative dramas; while at the same time, stipulating some of their subjective originality here and there.

One of them is the affluent depiction of Gora aka Gourav Sen; a half-mad individual with an intellectual psyche. An effortless portrayal by Ritwick Chakraborty, who indeed deserves every possible compliment that comes his way.

Suhotra Mukhopadhyay as his loyal assistant Sarathi gets the job done as well. Ishaa Saha, on the other end, did all she could in her short-tenured screen time, but I must say, her part of the story doesn't carry too much weight. In all honesty, it all felt too far-fetched and insignificant.

So to conclude; I would say, despite a very much run-of-the-mill narration and the same old caricaturish humour; it's been quite successful in delivering just the right amount of uncertainty and thrill. Nothing unprecedented, yet a satisfactory outcome nevertheless!

It wasn't a boring series. There was comedy, thriller and suspense all the time. But how can a detective be so forgetful that he forgets everyone's names and clues? He has an friend/assistant to remember the clues whom he abuses all the time. Gora's character formation seems confusing, as a detective shouldn't forget incidents/clues/names if he wants to solve any crime. Also, what was the point of Somalota here? She didn't have any connection with the story. A completely irrelevant character Somalata was included in the story, don't know what was her part.

Gora is nothing but the beautiful result of perfect writing, casting & acting. From the introductory scene of the titular character, you'll understand that it's going to be a good series. Ritwick Chakraborty was the perfect choice for this character. Can't imagine anyone except Ritwick in this role.

Story is not that great, it's similar to other Bengali detective stories like Byomkesh. But, because of the entertaining screenplay you'll be glued to the screen. All the comedy punches worked perfectly. Ishaa Saha was looking beautiful as always. Suhotra Mukhopadhyay as Gora's assistant was very good. Their chemistry is another plus point. Also loved Ananya Sen.

I totally loved & enjoyed the show. Finally, Gora has everything that can make it a very successful & iconic Bengali detective in future. RECOMMENDED.

This is complete masterpiece. Very well scripted, well played and chemistry between characters is also eye catching. I watched it in Bengali as I am a Bengali and I am really waiting to watch season 02 as soon as possible.
