Mukhosh

Did not watch 'Anjam Pathira' as it was not available in Hindi. To be honest, the film fails to provide thrills. The culprit is caught easily, Dialogue delivery is also very weak and its weak background music makes the film more vulnerable. The film is a murder mystery which is why I am giving it 6 ratings.

The storyline of this movie is good but this story is from a Malayalam film named "Anjaam Pathiraa". Acting is good. If you didn't watch Malayalam film "Anjaam Pathiraa" then this movie is great for you.

The film favours style over substance. The acting by the main cast is worth watching, though the story and screenplay sometimes lets that aspect down.

It's really good psychological thriller with awesome performances by all the actors. If u really want to go to theatre then it's worth it. Please go & watch this movie. Myself went to theatre after Avengers Endgame which is more than 2 years and really worth it. Birsa Dasgupta's best work as I didn't expect much from him but hats off to the director. Stand out performance by both Anirban Bhattacharya & Anirban Chakraborty and were very good too.

When an experienced police officer of the Kolkata Police is found murdered, the department seeks the investigative skills of criminologist Kinshuk Roy (Anirban Bhattacharya), as the murderer has left behind a cryptic clue. Kinshuk's investigations take him to many places, but not before another policeman ends up gruesomely murdered. This time, Kolkata Police needs to protect its reputation and act in a haste, because Kinshuk has already started sniffing the motive behind the murders, and smells that a much decorated officer, with whom he is working closely, may be in the line of fire. Simultaneously, he needs to confront someone whom he has almost revered.

"Mukhosh" is a fast paced crime thriller playing out in the underbelly of Kolkata and is a battle of wits. Just under two hours, it makes for an interesting, albeit not a nail biting watch. As the motive unfolds, you know who the murderer is, and that's a little underwhelming, as the director Birsa Dasgupta could have easily held the suspense until the very end. As such, the thrill element in Mukhosh is somewhat mellow, but that is compensated by the acting of the principal characters. Anirban Bhattacharya is spot on as a criminologist, and Anirban Chakraborty is good too. But it is Tota Roy Chowdhury who stands out in a special appearance as a steely, determined and agile individual with an objective.
