Hawa

Ill fortune follows on the boat of Chan Majhi (Chanchal Chowdhury), when his group of fishermen finds a beautiful young woman in their fishing net at the mid-sea. Tension rises along with mistrust, misfortune and body-count when mystery surrounding the 'mute-woman' gradually starts to reveal with deadly consequences.

Beautifully shot, capturing the ever lustful appeal of Bay of Bengal and nuances of life on the sea, director Mejbaur Rahman Sumon mostly succeeds in HAWA for skillful framing and some stunning cinematography. But a big thumbs up also goes to the whole cast for their standout performances on their respective roles.

Based on a Siren-like local folklore, HAWA is a pleasant surprise for a Bangladeshi cinema that offers a twisted tale of supernatural with a little dose of "Slasher" also in its tensed 2nd half! Considering the general standard of genre-filmmaking in BD, the film indeed deserves all the hype.

Brilliant Casting Exceptional performance by the entire cast Top notch cinematography.

This movie is a must watch. Its a piece of art.

With a slow start, you have to wait for the magic of the story and performance to bloom. I felt the smell of salty water, greed, heat and the sweat. Salute to the entire production team. They loved their work and it shows on the screen. Bangladeshi movie telling is coming off age.

From the very beginning, the cinematography of the movie catches the eyes. Color grading, Camerawork, Music and Acting - all are totally on point. But, when the storytelling parts come, there are so many "but" and "why" that need to be answered.

The first half of the movie is a kind of story buildup time and after the interval, events got pace. My only regret is that a movie that could be a masterpiece with a rating of 9 easy, ended up being a great movie with an average story, just like the last season of "Game of Thrones". Only if they changed a couple of events at the end, it could be a long-remembered classic in Bangla Movie Industry.

The regret is actually created because of the hype which was created before release. Expectations were high and "Hawa" was quite successful in fulfilling that expectation. The acting was best of the best. Screenplay,script, dialogue, direction, cinematography, characters and everything was so perfect and excellent where the only thing which was lacking was "Story". There is a positive side to this also. As the story is not very complex, everyone will understand the story and the movie will be for everyone.

If the hype was not created, like, suddenly it had been released in an OTT platform or in few halls, then the craze it would create is beyond imagination.

Overall Hawa is great.

This cinema is great. I guess one of the best work of Bangladeshi cinema.

Positive: ->makeup and hairstyle department: this was the best thing this cinema . Every actor was looking like they are real fishermen ->acting: the way everyone acts that was too good. Chanchal Chowdhury is getting another national award for this work for sure. Not only him everyone did very good job cinematography-> l was so happy after seeing this level of cinematography in any of bangla movie. That was missing from any movies of Bangladesh.

Directing-> Directing was better than any of todays movies of bangladesh.

Negetive: story-> the story was the only drawback of the movie. The ending couldn't deliver us a satisfying answer of the suspense l wanted to give it 7.5/10 . But that doesn't possible in IMDB.
