My favourite movie, i watch it many times,favourite song

The real star in this film is probably the director! Like a true captain, he has directed a relatively inexperienced but exceptionally talented set of lead actors, cinematographers and an entire team to produce an exceptionally palatable commercial Bengali film, after ages! It clearly is capable of bridging the gap that exists between mainstream and art films today. What appeals most is the packaging and presentation of the story line and utilization of an amazing chemistry between a debutante and seasoned actors! Photography and music simply adds icing to the cake! Fabulous movie,- a must watch for all Bangalees during Durga Puja 2016! Yash Dasgupta, the debutante hero is definitely worth a special applaud for his brilliant portrayal of the two sides of a complex character!

I watched a Bengali masala film arguably for the first time, mostly impressed by the pretty cinematography. There is a small twist involving mimi, otherwise it is a pretty standard fare with the larger than life gangster turned honest man hero who sets out for revenge by kicking and punching everything into oblivion. The debutante hero Yash seems earnest, but doesn't impress much. He doesn't have a lot of expressions in his quiver and his dialogue delivery is pretty boring too. Mimi, being the more experienced one delivers better and has got a bigger role than a eye candy. Gaurav Chakrabarty leaves a mark in his small role. Bratyo basu seems to try too hard, maybe that's what he was aiming for in order to play the main villain. I have a petty qualm though, everybody seemed understand bengali in a foreign land, what is up with that? Also, why don't they hire better Hindi speakers if they want the second villain to sound menacing? The guy was clearly aiming for the current happening dude look with his mustaches, hat and gaalis but the heavily accented Hindi was a real letdown.
