Anirudha Roy chowdhury is well known for his urban complex love story which we have seen in Aparajita Tumi. This film he made a 360 degree turn. In this movie there is thrill, every character is playing their game and the game plan changes for each character in the family. Amal a simple honest man who waits for his chance to secure a better life. He cries when he visit his home in Bangladesh, get restless and never looses his simplicity in the whole journey. The other characters which are Amal's Boudi(Sister-in-law) whose presence makes you believe the small aspiration that lady of the house feels. Rijula a lady completely bounded by lust for money which is reflected in her eyes and body language and last not the least Sohag college crush of Amal who savors the moment and scares everyday as she succumbs to cancer every day.

All in all Buno Haansh is a must watch Bengali film as it explores the another paradigm of Bengali movie.

This is Dev's one of the finest performance ever. Nowadays he kind of getting trolled by netizens. But this film is a masterpiece of this Bengali actor. Wonderful story, great script writing, promising supporting cast, awesome music, beautiful screenplay, acting all the things portrayed beautifully. Unlike other stereotypical bengali offbeat films, this film ends with a mind blowing open ended climax with spectators with their own interpretation that's why this is a must watch for every Bengali movie lovers, offbeat movie lovers and always Dev's lovers.

BUNO HAANSH unfolds the story of an unsuspecting youth who gets trapped in the activities of an International smuggling racket. Amol (Dev) lives in a poor colony in Kolkata with his Mother, elder brother and his wife. Theirs is a needy family. Through his friend's contact Amol meets an influential lady of the nefarious group (MoonMoon Sen). Soon, he is criss-crossing the world, from Dacca to Bangkok, meeting dubious people and handing over illegal stuff to them. In the process, Amol moves further away from his family and his lady-love (Srabonti) who is battling a debilitating ailment..

In Bangkok Amol meets a mysterious girl J (Tanusree Chakraborty). She reveals to Amol that she did a course in tourism in Kolkata and was recruited by a travel company for a plum assignment in Bangkok. When she reached Bangkok, her passport was taken away by the company and she was coerced to work as an Escort. She somehow managed to grab her passport and flee from that place. Now goons are on the lookout for her...

The film is based on a story by Samaresh Mazumdar and directed by Aniruddha Roy Choudhury. The director ARC is repeatedly working to expand the breadth of meaningful Bengali cinema in terms of locales. In his APARAJITA TUMI he shot at several cities in the United States. Even in this film he takes the Bengali viewer to Dacca, Bangkok and other International destinations.

The director keeps the ending open-ended. I particularly liked the way the film ended. None of the relationship is taken towards a logical conclusion. The character of J is quite interesting. She is ambitious and quite ethical in her dealings. She is practical too, and when Amol could not get a Visa, J doesn't let her sentiments bog her down.

Rating: 3.8 out of 5

I had read Samaresh Majumdar's novel Buno Haansh before watching the movie, so i had expectations from it, but i was a bit hesitant as i did not trust Dev's dialog delivery and acting, but i am happy to say he has pulled off a difficult role brilliantly, he was not perfect but was much much better than his previous movies and has acted really well in this one looking innocent and confused as Amol, the main character. It will surely be one of the highlights of his career and he has the potential. Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury has made a detailed movie with a soul, keeping the thrill elements intact. All the other characters are perfectly cast but Sudipta Chakraborty's act is the standout. The background score and music by Shantanu Moitra are great as always. Buno Haansh and Dev's act is surely one of the best this year.

A must watch..! A film made in heaven.. a life of a common man..his change from being the simple Amal to an unknown supplier from and to different countries.. his situation of desperation to end up needs of his family.. a good life for his love interest to making it big with one shot.. one can easily relate to Amal..

though the story line could have been made a little bit better with a more thrilling climax.. a little more suspense at the end should have grossed it a "Suspense Thriller" genre.. and the cinematography needs an applaud..it made it look more realistic..and the main thing..the music..Shantanu Moitra did a superb job..and Director Aniruddha Roy Choudhury placed it very well and maintained the pace..the songs fitted very well with some truly awesome lyrics and background score
