Dhaka Attack

It debuted as Dipankar Dipon as a film director. This movie made the action films of Bangladesh on another level. "Dhaka Attack" delivers what Bangladesh's film audience have been craving for far too long.

At first, there was a attack on a chemical factory and they steal some chemical. After that some dead body were found with some alphabets written on the body. It tells what is going to happen in the city.

If we talk about actors, Arifin Shuvu and ABM Sumon have done a great job in the movie. And the rest of the actors were good. Especially Taskeen Rahman. In my opinion, he is the next generation villain role of Bangladesh.

Dhaka Attack is one of the best film of Bangladesh and also it was a good try. I have never seen such a movie before. The Story was the main hero of this film. The story is about Dhaka Metropolitan Police Elite Force fearless operation against an anonymous man who is very madly to destroy the country's defense layers and he is also most wanted from many foreign intelligence agencies. The three young officers are trying to stop him. They will success or not?. This is the plot.

We will talk about the positive things and the negative things.

So,Firstly we talk about the positive things. The performances are really good. Arifin shuvo,Shatabdi wadud,nawshaba,Alamgir,Afzal Hossain they are played very well. The main highlight of this film was ABM Sumon. ABM Sumon was outstanding. His SWAT attitude was very cool. And we also can't forget the performance of the villain. Taskeen Rahman was excellent. I have never seen such a villain Bangladeshi Cinema Before. His psycho behaviour and his brutality was also show that he was a pure devil. Just wow. I can't waiting for mission extreme and Operation Sundarban for see taskeen's villainous avatar. The music was very good. Specially Tup Tap. The melodious track by arijit singh and somlata. The editing and the bgm was very Good. The action was very realistic. Specially the bandarban sequence. The screenplay was very gripping. We want these types of movies.

And also we talk about the negative things. The only negative things of this film is the heroine. Mahiya mahi was the only disappointment of this film. Why she was in the film i don't understand. I hope she will be better in future.

Total rate of this cop-thriller film is 8/10.

I don't want to talk about the cinematography, making, sound, script, dialogue, casting, screen playing post-production activities because it should come from another directors or film maker.

But as a general audience:

There r some messages for different kind of audience.

1. For school boys: They can dream for being a SWAT member.

2. To Aristocratic Gurdian: Why and how a growing boy can be derailed in spite of having all the facilities but only family crisis. (Taskin)

3. To BCS dreamer: In BCS viva, its a very common question that why BCS police is ur first choice?

How can a chemist play his role in police department?

How a genetic engineer can contribute to Police?

What r the importance of ICT specialist in this sector?

Why we solve analogy?

4. To the traditional directors and Producers:

Film should be based on our history, independence, mythology, sports, army, peace mission, science fiction, Navy, air force and so on.

Film should be based on Bengali nationalism where we can find the reflection of patriotism and victory of humanity.

Story: Good story. Not extraordinary but good enough. At some point it was very predictable but for most of the time it was thrilling. 22/30 for the story.

BGM: Although some background sound was collected(For 10 to 15 minutes I assume ) from 'Inception', it was good overall. I do have to mention one thing, I didn't find the collected sounds well executed. Adding to this, I also must say that I was pleased with their own original soundtracks. They were really good in creating the tension that you usually get while watching thrillers. The song 'Tikatolir More' was good as it added some plot but other songs were completely unnecessary. 'Tup Tap' song depicted that the lead male character and female character is building up some romantic interest for each other while he was driving her home. This whole thing could have been shown in some other way and the song was not needed there. The timing of 'Poth je dake' was good when it was played but it could have been better in its materials. I personally felt that it failed to create the intended emotion in the audience for which it was there. Moreover, enough emotion was already created by the story itself. So it could have been skipped altogether. 15/20 for BGM and songs.

Acting: Taskeen bhai was just awesome. Some villain Bengali movie industry hasn't seen before. His appearance,acting, dialogue-delivery everything was just perfect... He has an influence of the 'Greatest Hollywood villain' The Joker... and I liked it. 9/10 for him.

Arefin Shuvo and ABM Sumon was really good at their roles of AC Abid and SWAT leader Ashfaq respectively. 8/10 for both...

Nawshaba 7/10 Mahi 6.5/10 Wadud shaheb 7.5/10

Other supporting characters were good. That fatty cameraman of Chaity and 'Double' officer with Abid was funny. The gangsters were good too, I liked that 'Chatgaiya(from Chittagang)' stolen-car dealer. The police officer(can't recall the character name) at training in Malaysia was good too along with other Malay officers. He seemed like a real officer, was he? Anyway, my overall rating for the acting performances here is 15/20

Filming: I really liked the way camera shifted from one scene to another... its something new in Bengali film which is well executed in 'Dhaka Attack'. The way they shot inside a bomb, liked it. Camera angles were also good. 9/10

Editing: VFX was not up to the mark.. but okay(chole) considering the industry's budget constraint. 7/10

Direction: 8/10 for overall Direction. Best wishes for Dipankar Dipon sir and his upcoming projects.

Total: 76/100

(This is a slightly biased review. More accurate rating of this film can be somewhere around 65/100. The reason I'm being a bit generous is because this film has brought some good stuffs into the action & thriller genre of Bangladeshi films that was not there before. And if I have to compare it with other action entries from Bangladesh, this one's a gem!)

Whatever it is, you should watch it to feel the change in Bangladeshi films. Its changing...

The movie has a nicely written script along with an excellent direction. the story was totally excellent. from the beginning to end, it was totally good. Specially Arifin Shubho was too good. The movie is worth to watch. The cinematography could be a little better. only for that the rating is 8. otherwise it was an excellent movie with a superb ending
