Kakababur Protyaborton

Srijit Mukherji's Africa traveling vlog. With lots of random wild animal shot for one hour and a plot of 15 minutes including Kakababu crew talking about Feluda for 1 hour 15 mins. Great content to upload on YouTube.

Worst Kakababu movie in the franchise. So much different from the book, includes lots of nonsense extra plots. It is a Discovery channel documentary than a movie. Srijit Mukherjee should stop making Kakababu movies.

Let me cut to the chase: Pros 1. Susoenseful scenes of danger involving wild animals 2. Anirban Chakrabarti's acting

Cons.

1. Shamless contextual advertising marring the plot 2. Too much reference to Feluda and Lalmohan Ganguly. Almost as if Srijit knew his Kakababu didnt have it in him to carry the entire script on his own shoulders and therefore the desperate attempt to cling on to a character that Bengalis would warm up to with 100 % certainty.

3. Hardly any whodunnit angle. The bad man revealed himself and solved the mystery for Kakababu 4. A sorry Kakababu (in Sunil Ganguly's manuscripts, where did the old man go to highlight his hair I wonder?) and a sorrier Shontu ( i expect a more cerebral looking fellow as Shontu. How about Riddhi in the next one?)

Overall a good watch but a slightly disappointing one. I have said this earlier about Srijit messing with famous Bengali literature. If you do take up the job of fliming originals penned by folks like Satyajit Ray or Sunil Ganguly, you got to live up to a certain standard. Else, just film stories of your own. You do a much better job with originals (dwitiyo purush notwithstanding).

The movie is waste of time. One star for how Amal Dutta slapped Santu, and said," Next time behave appropriately with your elders". Excellent scene made my day.

Story has hardly any substance - should've been a 15 min movie. Rest is filled up with shots of African Safari. Just because the cast & crew spent money to shoot in Masai-mara, the audience has to sit through 1.5 hours of safari stuff which is better shown in National Geographic.
