Shri Swapankumarer Badami Hyenar Kobole

This film is a mess. Neither it engages you, not it gives you a thrilling storyline. Apart from Abir, the rest of the cast is completely miscast. Abir also has done a very poor job comparing to his work in Rawktobeej. The acting of the lady cop/detective is very forced, her looks are horrible. If you are making a movie where it is mandatory to read the reference books, then you have failed as a filmmaker. The presence of Mr Swapankumar is so irritating that you would want to skip his portion instantly. I was waiting for this film to arrive in Hoichoi, but I was so deeply disappointed. This type of films make me lose my faith in Kolkata films.

This movie is so bad that swapna Kumar the writer may come and haunt the director. I was pretty much exited for this one because of the story also a bit for abir. For long I was thinking why no one is making any movie on Shri swapan Kumar's stories.

Now if I come to the movies it's pretty much pathetic. I was trying so hard to complete it but was unable to do so. Some random stuff was happing, extremely dramatic which was not needed, pretty much boring and so on.

From the outset, the film struggles to find its footing, careening wildly between subplots without ever fully committing to any one narrative thread. Characters are introduced and promptly forgotten, their backstories hastily sketched out in clumsy exposition dumps that do little to endear them to the audience. The result is a disjointed jumble of half-baked ideas that never coalesce into a cohesive whole.

The story starts off on a promising note, it initially captivates with its unique and unconventional approach. The engaging dialogue and dynamic interaction between the characters, particularly the 'creator' and his 'creation', add a touch of brilliance to the narrative. The opening act exuded a vibrant and extravagant charm that truly delighted me.

However, everything takes a sharp turn once the plot reaches the intermission. The writing all of a sudden becomes excessively self-absorbed, disregarding larger implications of the tale. Subsequently, a sense of confusion seeps in, leading to incoherence and further befuddlement.

I am dead watching this and my spirit is giving this warning not to watch. Total failure of a experiment. Some people can fake it that they like it to show how creative their mind is but trust me it's a total time waste and most disturbing is they know that they are not making any sense and expect the people to watch shamelessly and the wrongfully depicted scene to be accepted by audience. The only thing I liked in the movie is Shruti Das's presence. Everytime she comes in screen it's engaging. She can easily be said the epitome of hotness in Bengali movie nowadays. I want to watch more of her in coming cinemas.

My Review of #ShriSwapankumarerBadamiHyenarKobole ::: Direction by #DebaloyBhattacharya is fairly good. His storytelling narrative is not intriguing, but his shot-taking style is very fresh. Dialogues are superbly penned. Many scenes and shots resemble his previous films, specially #DraculaSir.

Cinematography by #RamyadeepSaha is of first order. Marvellous would be an understatement. Editing by #SanglapBhowmick is very slow paced, just like the screenplay. So, the audience tends to get bored very soon. Music by #AmitChatterjee is fresh to the ear, but not hummable enough. But the song 'Mushroom' is well-composed. Production company #HoichoiStudios ( #Hoichoi ) & distribution by #ShreeVenkateshFilms ( #SVF ) has made this venture saleable, but its Box Office glorious run is debatable.

As per as the performances are concerned, #AbirChatterjee as Dipak Chatterjee & #ParanBandopadhyay as Sri Swapankumar has tried their best to backup the poor screenplay with their screen presence by acting well.

#ShrutiDas as Tashi is not at all impressive and looked very dull and stiff in her dialogues delivery. #GoutamHalder as usual acted as a carbon copy in his signature style. #PratikDutta as Ratanlal is a new and fresh discovery and someone to watch out for. #LoknathDey is good. Last but definitely not the least, theatre & TV actress #SaoliBandopadhyay looked very confident and tried her best as much she can, in her few scenes. But her atrocious wig looked very poor on her. But overall, if you leave your brain, aptitude and logic at your home, and come to enjoy a #PulpFiction film based on a graphic novel chain of the similar genre, then you would surely gonna enjoy the film. One-Time watch or a Timepass 👍🏻
