Killbill Society

I will begin by highlighting the positive aspects, as they are very limited in number.

First and foremost, the music is well-crafted and well aligned with the overall atmosphere of the film. Secondly, Biswanath Basu displayed commendable comic timing, which elicited a few chuckles.

However, the remainder is a disappointment. It appears to be nothing but a chaotic and poorly organized attempt to capitalize on the success of the OG, it should have never materialised!

The most notable decline in this installment is the character development. Unlike in Hemlock Society, where I can effortlessly empathise with Meghna's pain and frustration and support her newly forged relationship with Ananda Kar, KillBill Society fails to evoke any emotional resonance me.

Even though Koushani and Parambrata made efforts to uplift the bland script, their attempts yielded minimal impact, thus I found it difficult to connect with their struggles or joys for that matter.

This is particularly disheartening given that this sequel follows a movie that's still highly praised and regarded as a cult classic among Bengali audiences.

Poor script, amateurish plot, childish acting, virtually zero action, no rising or falling action, and no climax in the entire movie. Songs are a disaster.

Param's acting skill tried to do its best to save the movie, but at the end his acting skill also succumbs to the disastrous direction and plot development.

It tries to draw some random characters who are apparently well-known in Bengali TV circles, but their appearance feels like a montage of random social media reels. In the entire story, the protagonist, played by Koushani Mukherjee, goes on nagging about male flirtation like a 27-year-old celebrity trying to return to her 16-year-old teen girl life.

It fails to do any justice to its alleged prequel, Hemlock Society. Both the director Srijit, and the lead actress shall wake up and smell the coffee. Nothing in the movie comes even close to Hemlock Society, except the Audi convertible.

Absolute waste of time.

Didn't understand the need of this movie, same story but with bad chemistry and poor screenplay, basically they took everything good from the previous film and turned into a 2 hour long mess, You will absolutely no empathy for the characters, I once heard "good acting cannot save a terrible script", I love the director, and was hugely impressed by it's predecessor, Hemlock society (2012). The songs feel fresh kintu er theke beshi ete kichu e nei. This has to be the most cliched ending to ever exist. I cannot seem to recommend this to anyone maybe cast er fan thakle dekhte paro, Baaki expectations rakhle disappointed hobe.

Despite a promising soundtrack that adds emotional weight, the film ultimately disappoints due to its weak screenplay and inconsistent execution. Prambrata delivers a solid performance, bringing depth and nuance to his role, but Kaushani and others fail to create a convincing presence, leaving the narrative feeling hollow. Biswanath, however, shines with his fabulous acting, injecting much-needed energy into the film. Unfortunately, even these standout performances cannot mask the film's poor pacing, lack of engaging storytelling, and underwhelming execution. The screenplay struggles with coherence, failing to hold the viewer's attention. Moments that should resonate emotionally feel forced, making the experience frustrating rather than immersive. While the music is commendable, carrying some of the film's weight, it ultimately falls short of being enough to salvage the overall viewing experience. A stronger script and tighter direction could have elevated this film beyond its shortcomings.

Sijjida has a knack for turning decent stories into trash. Certified Trash!

Let's start with the negatives:

• The story is good, but it's messy when turned into a film.

• Some songs are unnecessary and feel forced into the movie.

• The screenplay is extremely poor. Sijjida should consider getting someone else to write for him.

• The first half is weak, while the second half is slightly better.

• Koushani's acting feels fake, except in a few scenes.

• The climax is painful to watch.

• Basic logic is lacking throughout the film.

Some good aspects:

• The songs are decent, but not on par with Hemlock Society.

• The storyline is good, which makes the movie somewhat tolerable.

• Vishwanath Basu's character is well-done.

• Sijjida's cinematic universe references and comedy punchlines work.

Final verdict: Half star for a decent storyline, one star for decent songs.
