sceptic-fromhell

There were a lot of hype around this one. It defintely did not dissapoint but it was not a movie which people would want to re-watch or talk about after 6 months. The story telling was okay, but in my opinion, it could have been much better. Nisho did well, but its not his finest performance for sure. Toma and Mostafa Monowar were better. Didn't like the character Apple Khan, his imposed Chittagonian accent seemed unnecessary. An actor like Shahiduzzaman Selim should've been utilized more effeciently. Background sound was very loud and I had a hard time understanding the dialogues. Now some good parts of the movie, color grading was top notch, cinematography was amazing and location fits the story perfectly. There weren't too many unncecessary scences. And I don't think it was a "18+" movie. There were some intimate scences, but people who will watch this movie most of them have seen way worse.

The story is one of the modern day classics in Bengali literature. Its not easy to cinematise such a well known story where the audience expects for a classic. I wont say it was a classic but definitely the movie was well directed. All the actors gave an accomplished performance. The main character "Rashed" was played exceptionally well. At times he looked a bit expressionless and emotionless but that goes well with the character. A very matured performance was needed from him and he delivered that. "Ebu" was the most important character. That young fella was well aware of his importance and didn't let anyone down. The Director deserves an applause because he tried to keep the movie in line with the story(though there was a small hiccup at the end, in the book Ebu asked ashraf/fojlu about rashed and one of them informed that rashed had died. This was particularly special to me because I remember I cried when I read that part and the director escaped the very thing :p) But overall it was a good experience at least the story was not ruined for the movie which has been the case for many of my favourite books (Including Count of Monte Cristo, Anna Karenina, The great Gatsby, Ivanhoe, Kalbela, Tenida, Kakababu)If you are a Bangladeshi then it is a must see, if you are not I'd say you wont regret after watching, this movie is well worth of your time!

I would recommend everyone to buy a DVD of this film... If you are in a very bad mood then just turn on your DVD player and watch this.. You will wonder why people call spider man, batman or superman a super hero? They are nothing compared to NO1SK!! You will feel very confident about yourself..You'll think if he could become NO1SK then i can be Root over minus 1 (What ever your name is) so easily!! It's such an inspiring movie..it will move you surely (you cant watch it without moving actually..you'll fell off chair laughing).. Acting and Direction were possibly worst.. Story cant be weaker than this.. But all these things make this an epic entertaining movie!! A must see (dramatic/romantic/action) comedy!!
