Mirza: Part 1 - Joker

A superbly shot ganglord film written & well-directed by #SumeetGoradia & #SaahilGoradia, perfectly-knit story & screenplay by #ArnabBhaumik, a superb and successful Production by #AnkushHazra, #AbirGupta & #ArkadebUkil. The overall looks of the cast is amazing, along with the incredible performances of Dancing Superstar Ankush Hazra, #OindrilaSen, auteur #KaushikGanguly, #RishiKaushik, #PriyaMondal, #ShoaibKabeer, #ShantilalMukherjee, #SankarDebnath, #SumitGanguly ( cameo ), #KunalBhandari, #RatanSarkhel, #RajatGanguly, #BiswaroopBiswas and the adorable #RyanGuhaNeogi along with others.

Cinematography by the wizard #AnimeshGhorui is superb with sharp editing by #SanglapBhaumik, but it could have been 15 mins crisper. Music by #IshanMitra & #AneekDhar is superb and worth-humming.

With lots of Twists and Turns and an interesting cameo epilogue ( will not give any spoilers ), Production company #AnkushHazraMotionPictures & distributor #PVRInoxPictures will surely incur huge profit, because this film is technically very well-made, stylish and honestly shot. The efforts invested are visible. Kudos!👍🏻 A Must-Watch Commercial Film not to be missed 👍🏻🍫

My Rating --- 8/10.

Looking at the sorry state of the Bengali commercial scene and taking the scarcity of mainstream cinema into consideration, 'Mirza' does come across as a devoted attempt, a naive effort to bring the masses back into the theater.

However, mass entertainers need more than ambition; they mandate proper vision, mass sensibility, and, above all, an effective script to aid in their cause.

"Mirza" regrettably lacked in all these aspects.

The biggest blunder they did was to reveal every twist and turn in the trailer, thereby diminishing all plausible scopes to blow audiences' minds and grab onto their attention. It indisputably had the style and the swag but faltered heavily on character backstories and emotions.

Movie: Mirza

"Mirza," helmed by debutant directors Sumit-Sahil, unfolds like a sluggish marathon, stretching over 2 hours and 45 minutes. The film opens with the entry scene of the main villain. Since then, every time he has appeared on screen, he has eaten only biriyani with cringe meaningless dialogues. The story revolves around a racket of new drug Chill Pill. The movie attempts to weave a tale of intrigue and suspense as narcotics control officer Kaustav pursues the top three drug lords: Sultan, Azhar, and Mirza. Sultan & his son Azhar smuggle the drug. The senior police officer Kaustav sets out to identify the key players involved. However, then an unknown guy Mirza comes into the field. Although makers are trying to hide the motive of the character Mirza, but actually the fails. Because everything was revealed in the cliche back story of an orphan.

The pacing feels akin to a slow-motion reel, with the screenplay emerging as the chief antagonist, sabotaging the entire cinematic experience. The storyline appears dated, reminiscent of Bollywood tropes from the '90s.

Despite Ankush's earnest attempts to exude charisma in every frame, his efforts fall flat, often overshadowed by inexplicable smoke effects. Kaushik Ganguly's portrayal of the main antagonist, Sultan, stands out amidst the mediocrity. Oindrila's presence adds a touch of credibility, but the talents of seasoned actor like Shankar Debnath are woefully underutilized. Rishi Kaushik's character feels like an afterthought, relegated to the sidelines amidst the chaos of the drug underworld. Shankar Debnath are woefully underutilized. The overdose of characters and the convoluted storyline make it difficult for audiences to stay engaged. However, the cameos fail to leave an impact.

The musical score fails to elevate the viewing experience, residing in the realm of below-average. Ankush's valiant efforts are squandered by subpar writing and direction, leaving audiences yearning for more substance and coherence. The lack of connectivity between the scenes further detracts from the overall viewing experience. Actually, The debutant director struggles to breathe life into the lackluster script. Despite commendable efforts in cinematography and action choreography, the director fails to create compelling dramatic moments that could have elevated the film. Finally come to the main point, should You Watch It? Unless you have a strong affinity for the lead actors or a penchant for formulaic thrillers, "Mirza" may not be worth your time and money.

Movie- Mirza

Well, there are gangsters in the city of Kolkata who eat biryani and say the Arabic meaning of their name to the deceased? They can kill people for their own needs, can it be called serial killing? Are they look like Shahrukh Khan from 'Raees'? Did you notice why all the gangsters belongs to Muslim community? Is it not a partiality? Ok, I consider all these things. When the movie begins with the iftar scene & after some days Holi comes, it shocked me a lot. WT* ...

The story is nothing but an orphan Mirza, who is a card player raised by a police officer, grows up & later joins the gang of drug racket to avenge the injustice done to his foster father. I think you can understand the most typical revenge template. In the meantime there is a suspicious fisher woman Muskan pretends to fall in love with Mirza. On the other side an ruthless NCB officer Kaustav is trying to catch the gang lord Sultan & his son Azhar. Mirza join hands with Sultan & gains their trust. When all arrangement are set to catch Mirza, it ends up with his betrayal for his own gang. Moreover it also revealed that Muskan is non other than an undercover cop. But before police can catch Sultan, Mirza finished him. When Kaustav arrests him he was ordered to free him without any logic. Actually there is no base of double game technique of Mirza.

According to an honest spectator, I feel very bored on the script. From the beginning, the movie is just cheesy with no honest attempt to tell a solid story. I can't go with the detailing because it may cause the spoiler, but it is the fact that every scene is so clumsy that one stumbles from one scene to the next. The most annoying thing is the dialogue of the movie. Children are talking so much nonsense that it is impossible to connect, the cops are so dumbed down in the vital moment that it's like watching a children's cartoon. As a newbie, the director's attempts fail because of such cheap screenplays. And for the whole two and a half hours, the same loud atmosphere rings so many times that the ears get stuck. Among the two songs, the love track 'Ghalib' alone is not bad to listen to but does not add any impact to the movie. Mirza's title song itself not a genuine one, also it can't provides new flavour in the movie. The first 15 minutes felt so irritating that I felt like passing out immediately. I was only there to see the cameo part. When I finally saw it, I realized that this was the worst part. Probably the makers are not movie buff, they only believe in gimik not in good filmmaking.
