Dhaka Attack

Story is the heart of movie. A good movie must have a good story. Otherwise nothing will work. And in this context 'Dhaka Attack' passed easily with good marks. I'm not telling the story is unique or brilliant. But it is good and interesting.

'Serial Killer' kinda thing is very common in the movies nowadays. We've seen a lot from Hollywood, Bollywood, Korean and even from south Indian movie industry. But this is totally new genre for a Bangladeshi movie.

Almost everything in this movie worked perfectly except the VFX (!?) and lead actress Mahiya Mahi! VFX should have been better. Considering the low budget, we may forgive the VFX, but what about Mahiya Mahi? In every sense of the word, she was horrible! She couldn't portrait her character. Her over- acting, way of talking, expression everything was disappointing.

Arefin Shuvo and ABM Sumon did their best and acted very well. Shatabdi Wadud was phenomenal as always. Special thanks to Taskin Rahman for his outstanding performance and screen appearance as the villain. Music was good with appropriate BGM. Action sequences and cinematography were also very good (again the VFX is the only week point here).

Overall, it's a good movie. Considering Bangladeshi industry it's a very good movie. Probably the best thriller movie ever made in Bangladesh.

Definitely worth to watch!

The movie has a nicely written script along with an excellent direction. the story was totally excellent. from the beginning to end, it was totally good. Specially Arifin Shubho was too good. The movie is worth to watch. The cinematography could be a little better. only for that the rating is 8. otherwise it was an excellent movie with a superb ending

This movie is different from other movies made in Bangladesh.The script,cinematography,editing is worth for praising.Arfin Shuvo's Acting As AC Abid and ABM Sumon's acting was really good.There is thrill and good chemistry between Arfin Shuvo and Mahiya Mahi.I think this type of movie can bring back the old good movies era of Bangladesh.Definitely you should go to cinema halls to watch this movie.You'll never be disappointed.

I don't want to talk about the cinematography, making, sound, script, dialogue, casting, screen playing post-production activities because it should come from another directors or film maker.

But as a general audience:

There r some messages for different kind of audience.

1. For school boys: They can dream for being a SWAT member.

2. To Aristocratic Gurdian: Why and how a growing boy can be derailed in spite of having all the facilities but only family crisis. (Taskin)

3. To BCS dreamer: In BCS viva, its a very common question that why BCS police is ur first choice?

How can a chemist play his role in police department?

How a genetic engineer can contribute to Police?

What r the importance of ICT specialist in this sector?

Why we solve analogy?

4. To the traditional directors and Producers:

Film should be based on our history, independence, mythology, sports, army, peace mission, science fiction, Navy, air force and so on.

Film should be based on Bengali nationalism where we can find the reflection of patriotism and victory of humanity.

In Bangladesh movie industry thriller is a very very rare genre. But people love to watch action packed thriller. This movie had promises to be a perfect cop thriller, but then come the traditional romantic melodrama! The 'mighty' Mahia mahi! Dear director, please ask yourself, why there will be a glamour queen for every handsome cop in Bangladeshi films? Why she have to be so dumb, stubborn and gawky? Why she have to express her love in the extreme moment of bomb disposal? Are you serious! There was no need of dancing and singing in beautiful natural scenario. These was just unnecessary and ridiculous.

The story has a good pace and climax. The character of ashfak was portrayed well. Shatabdi wadud and Arifin shuvo was fabulous. But ace of spade was the villain Taskeen. What a chilling look and eyes!

Overall it was a good movie but would have been much better. I hope Dipankar Dipan (The director) will make a real thriller some day! I will advice people to watch the movie to feel the change!
