Hawa

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.

Hawa (2020) this should be 2022 with the title.

Please check the year which is mentioned with the title of the film. Hope for the success of the film.

First of all yes it is a slow burn but the cinematography and the ambience is so fantastic it won't ever let you feel bored. Then comes the stellar acting performances by the whole cast. Chanchal chowdhury was fabulous.

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.

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.
