Can't express my feelings about the movie. This one is a piece of gem. The every element of this movie is quite fabulous, fascinating and laudable, starting from direction, story, screenplay, dialogue, acting, music everything. The main plus point is the acting. Every character has played their role so naturally with the glimpse of being lived the character in real. The another plus point in this movie is its dialogue. Yeah, many slangs have been used in the movie but you can't complain because these abusive language made the movie more realistic. The dialogues are straight forward that it can reach upto the mass, which can be remembered for long time. The x-factor of the movie is its music. Every single song will touch your soul.

The enigmatic way bumba da act surprises me. Sometime he will act in so called typical 'Bengali' films made specifically for rural audience & then he will give these performances. I am really amazed. About others frankly speaking this is the first time I have liked pramabrata. Raima & Abir were good too. Overall it is a spotless movie, everything ranging from screenplay, music, cinematography, camera, acting, and story were near perfect. There are some bold dialog throwing in the movie and few incidence that will put smile in your face but in most of the parts you will be kept guessing what 's going to happen next. Parambrata is a top cop given charge to solve a serial killing. Now his is struck between his girlfriend who also happens to be Abir's best pal and his work. Prosenjit is a former cop with huge experience and when Parambrata and other officers fail to find out any information about the killer, he arrives at the scene to assist Kolkata Police. Will they be able to find out the killer. This remains the question ??
This can be marked as a great work of Srijit. All the actors have done a catchy performance. Especially, Prosenjit has been mindblowing.
I must say that it definitely scores over Srijit Mukherjee's last film 'Autograph'. It has some very bright performances from Prosenjit Chatterjee, Raima Sen, Abir Chatterjee and Rajesh Sharma. But one man who easily scores over everyone else is Goutam Ghose. He truly shines as the poetic-minded hardcore intellectual of a by-gone era. As for Parambrata I found it a little hard to imagine him as a tough cop. However his acting is believable.
The plot has a couple of good surprises that are hard to predict. The story intermingles very well with the plot. The story-telling involves some non-linear sequences as well.(I would love to see more of these non-linear sequences in his future work)The screenplay is very bold. Its the first time I heard so much cursing in a Bangla film. However I still think that it needed a little more polishing(just my humble opinion).
The cinematography is quite good and in a couple of scenes it really stands out. My personal favorite being the first scene where the director successfully captures the eeriness of a north-kolkata gully at night. The climax also has a very unique Ram Gopal Varma-ish kind of camera angle in it.
All-In-All a considerably intelligent watch considering the usual play-with-your-emotions masala Bengali/Hindi fare.

This is an amazing Bangla movie.
This movie will keep you entertained from start to finish. There have been very few such movies in the history of Bengali movies.

- TriviaSrijit Mukherji: appears in the scene where the lead detectives are having coffee at a Terrace Cafe. The detectives have to borrow Srijit's laptop who is sitting on a different table leading to a sullen looking Srijit in the last shot.
- GoofsIn the last scene when Prabir is lying dead, the entire ice bucket and glass is full of blood. The blood splatter from his head wound wouldn't have reached the ice bucket lying some distance away to completely fill it with blood, while the part of the table lying in between is relatively clean with just a few splashes.
