Review : The film is all about love, betrayal and crime. It is very difficult to categorize the film Because though it is being termed as a crime thriller, yet it is not a crime thriller in true sense and it does have it’s share of drama and moments between Abhi and Rani. This is Avik Mukherjee’s first film as a director by being cinematographer for such wonderful films like Chokher Bali - A Passion Play (DVD
), Raincoat (DVD
), Patalghar (DVD) and Antaheen (DVD). The cinematography of Antaheen was wonderful to say the least and visually captivating. This film is of a different kind and can not compared to Antaheen by way of it’s cinematography. The lead character is Abhi someone who dreams of becoming a star, has stars in his eyes and so lands up in a city like Kolkata to make his dreams come true. He stays at a rented place, has an eccentric landlord who stays indoors the entire day, plays the Esraj, knows his Shakespeare well and goes out at night. He is sin love with the landlord’s niece Rani. He gets trapped in the big bad world of crime unknowingly and from there, it sis point of no return. At the same time he also gets a role as a second lead in a Bengali film. This is where Shayan has acted well where he as Abhi is shown to be in a dilemma. He is at a crossroad and he just can not see a straight path. Therefore all he can do is to depend on his lady love There is a blast at the building from where the gang operates and Abhi’s boss dies along with other gang members. Abhi’s is at peace at last. What is important is the handling of the film. The suspense remains till last and one has to see the film to know the real identity of Abhi’s boss. It can not be revealed and is in fact a surprise element of the film.
