Beautiful, moving film.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It took off the blocks pretty well with the chase and fight scenes being top draw and new to Tollywood, the scene involving ageing Mufti Muhammad (Barun Chanda) deepening the mystery, but from then on it went downhill. I don't understand these unnecessary attempts to force in some "Bangaliana" into such sleuth movies to make it more viewer friendly, which to my mind mars the mood. Absolute unnecessary teen romance and typical Bangla comedy have no place in these. Indraneil, though praised by some, too has been a thumbs down to me in such an important role, have never been a fan of his acting, and an Egyptian rebel talking unaccented fluent Bengali and reciting Tagore in the desert is too much to digest, Dev's pronounciation is less tough to handle I guess. The outside pyramid scene where Indraneil was in disguise made me remember the Hrithik scene in Dhoom 2 museum. Stunning job by makeup artist there. Overall, I rate this as 6/10 and expect much more fine tuning and corrections from Srijit when he next takes up Kaka Babu.

Srijit Mukherjee's 5th directorial venture fails to meet the expectation. Only positive side of the movie is performance by Prosenjeet. Indraneel Sengupta does well as Hani Alkadi. The movie fails to create the suspense and thrill expected from a Kakababu story. The director fails to understand that too much melodrama and intellectual gibberish in a thriller doesn't work always. It was unnecessarily stretched by at least 30 min. The characters of Neel , Swastika and Riddhi as Santu's love interest were complete misfit. Was JNU campus tour necessary ? Rajesh Sharma does a decent job. Too much editing of the original story takes away a lot of fun. Hope the directors will keep these in mind. The screenplay and locations are well done. Watch Kahani - how to show a thriller in a simple way without being preachy.

I had stopped watching bengali movies when i was a child in the 80s. It seemed too childish to even a child then. Recently, with Chokher Baali, Bhooter Bhobishyot, Goenar Baksho and now this... i am watching Bengali movies again. While i was watching the movie, i felt proud as a probashi bengali.I have never read Kakababu stories but have heard about him from my cousins in Kolkata. It was my discovery of the character through this film. The movie could have been great if the story telling was compact and fast. Certain portions were painfully stretched. I even went out from the hall to grab some snacks. When i came back, i didn't miss anything. Casting and acting were the strong points but few characters were forced. There were few loopholes like the one in the climax. It seemed childish. The climax was not at all thrilling, instead it was hilarious. The background score was good but seems unnecessary and irritatingly used in many situations. Use of darkness and silence inside the pyramid could have been thought about. Instead it was well lit and loud with background music. Still, hats-off to the maker for this brave and entertaining attempt. A one time watch for sure.

Watched Mishawr Rohoshyo yesterday, It's a mediocre Sleuth film. I was expecting much better from Srijit & Prosenjit. The storyline is weak, there was no such suspense in the film, though the fight sequences are great, some good quality special effects were there, except the fight between Prasenjit & Rajit Kapur in the Climax, it was so lame & I couldn't understand why Al Mamun (Rajit Kapur) was wrapped like a mummy, all done by himself. Santu didn't have much to do, but he looked good, not as convincing as Topshe (Feluda's assistant)Indraneel was damn good as Hani Alkadi, he's perfect for the role. But I was expecting him to be menacing, though he was quite friendly to Kakababu (Prosenjit). Neel Mukherjee & Swastika stole the show with their brilliant comic act. Srijit's works are over-hyped now, Hemlock Society was mediocre too, & the music sucked as their was no Anupam Roy magic, which happened to be the main attraction of Srijit's earlier films. Overall I give it 6/10
