    Terrific Bengali thriller after ages

    What stands out in the film is the interpersonal development that would compel the audience to empathise with not just the lead but the smaller, yet extremely significant characters. One such would be Anirban Chakrabarti (Naseer) and his daughter Putul's (Tanika Basu) relationship. The father-daughter dynamic is remarkable. On the other hand, Shantanu Maheshwari as the newbie officer, Ritesh, strikes a firm balance between tenderness and toughness, while Inderjeet Bose as the gym-going, intake-conscious cop Bishwa has a tender soul that shines through. This is perhaps where Chaalchitro wins, where the characters come alive through simple brushstrokes. Bratya Basu's tiny role makes an incredible impact in the overall tone of the film, while Tanika Basu plays Putul with a beautiful balance where many may go overboard.

    The drama intensifies significantly in the first half, but in the second half, loses its steam a little bit, only to draw out a strong climax.

    Overly occupied with the subplots!

    The significance of backstories cannot be overstated; they are indeed essential particularly in the realm of investigative thrillers, where the inclusion of subplots is rather critical.

    However, it is imperative that these additional narratives always maintain a seamless connection to the central theme. They must not drift aimlessly, resembling isolated entities in a vast void, devoid of purpose or relevance.

    A striking illustration of this misstep can be found here, in a thriller that, despite possessing all the requisite elements, fails to reach its intended goals.

    The problem lies in the script becoming excessively distracted or rather overly entangled in subplots, leading to the unacceptable neglect of the primary storyline concerning the serial killings, which is criminally sidelined for a major chunk of the duration.

    Not to mention, one cannot overlook a myriad of inconsistencies & illogicalities woven into the screenwriting, elements that defy reason.

    Performances, too appeared kind of superficial, particularly that of Tota Roychowdhury's, whose demeanor, dialogue delivery, and body language felt contrived, as if his headspace is confined to a singular emotional register.

    In contrast, Apurba made a remarkable impression in a mere fifteen minutes of screen time, exemplifying what it means to be an impactful on-screen presence.

    Unmissable Movie

    Chaalchitro is a gripping masterpiece that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The intricately woven plot and the raw portrayal of human emotions elevate it beyond a mere crime thriller. The brilliant performances, especially by Tota Roychoudhury and Indrajeet Bose, bring an intense realism to the narrative. The suspense is palpable, and the climax left me awestruck. It's not just a movie-it's an experience that stays with you long after the credits roll. A must-watch for anyone who loves a well-crafted cinematic journey. It's a bold, refreshing take on crime thrillers that will resonate with audiences across generations.

    A Haunting Journey Through Kolkata's Dark Side

    Chaalchitro - The Frame Fatale is not for the faint-hearted. The gruesome murders depicted in the film are disturbing but essential to the narrative. Kanishka and his team's investigation is a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with dead ends, revelations, and moments of despair. What I loved most was the authenticity of the detective work. The procedural elements are detailed and believable, drawing you into the world of the investigators.

    Kanishka's struggle with his past adds an emotional core to the film, making it more than just a crime thriller. The climax ties the threads together in a way that's both satisfying and chilling. This is a film that stays with you long after the credits roll.

    Brilliant Performances

    The cast of Chaalchitro delivers some of the best performances I've seen in recent thrillers. Kanishka, played with remarkable intensity, anchors the film, while the supporting characters bring their unique traits to the table. The murders are gruesome yet compelling, each one shedding light on the killer's twisted psyche.

    The pacing is impeccable, with the story building up to an electrifying climax. The screenplay is sharp, and the dialogues are impactful. The film's background score is another highlight, enhancing the tension without overpowering the narrative. This is a film that demands your attention and rewards you with an unforgettable cinematic experience.
