Here are my two cents,

1. Not Director's (Srijit Mukherjee) best attempt; I think he does well in crime suspense genre than period genre. His direction shows parts brilliance as a very short simple story line stretches over 2 hours which could have well been within 1.5 hr. There are unnecessary attempt to develop characters of some who are not important for the main story-line. Nonetheless , the primary storyline is a touching one during the country's partition with mixture of fear, anguish, corruption, helplessness, courage and feminism.

2. Camera work great in some long and short shots, boring when continuously showed one half of faces of the two officers (Ilias and Prophullo) over different situations.

3. Acting mostly ordinary, Rituparna(Begam Jaan) tried hard to convince her character especially when she showed her anger on others, sometimes touching the border of melodrama. Rest are average with exception of Saswata(Prophullo), Kaushik(Ilias) and Jishu (Kabir). Why the actors casted for Lord Mountbatten so lackluster, and a British character Radcliff is played by an Indian face acted by an Indian!!!

The movie released in 2015 but unfortunately i couldn't have any chance to watch this. Today i just finished this movie and i am writing this review with tears in my eyes. Its a film about the post partition environment in India and Pakistan (now Bangladesh). The movie contains many emotional scenes where you can't stop yourself to cry. Very very thanks to the very talented director Mr. Srijit Mukherjee for making this kind of masterpiece. After so many years of partition we can feel the pain and the tortures of that time through this movie. Again Great Direction 🖤 and mind blowing performances from the actors also. If you are a true classic movie lover, you should watch this. Really this movie is going to be a gem of The Bengali Film Industry.

A story or content is the lead character in films nowadays A weak content will not uplift a film however good actors perform. The most toughest character for an actor is that of a silent one. Through expressions nd actions one has to push such character above all. Yes, this justice was possible just because of Nigel Akkara. Nigel Akkara is a true hero.

A brave movie based on indro-pak border petition time . One of best movie Srijit Mukherji..... 11 actress & others actor best & brave acting bloom this movie very nicely..... One Brothel has 11 lady , their lifestyle, country divition , that time socialism condition everything bloom this movie very nicely ..... Song combination perfectly , background music , directing just mind blowing

I have a question why Nigel Akkara is not acting in many films. He is always taking a break between movies. Nigel Akkara we all want to see you more, whatever characters are done by Nigel Akkara always leave a huge impact on the audience.
