Based on a police thriller, the movie grippingly starts on a high note but falters as the thrill peaks. Written and directed by Pratim Das Gupta, the story might have been better crafted and less tersely edited (Antara Lahiri), as the pace of the movie is inherently quite fast.
A serial killing spree grips the city when women are found killed and the bodies pinned up in the manner, reminiscent of a series of murders that happened long ago! With the earlier killer already serving his sentence, DCP Kanisha Chatterjee (Tota Roy Chowdhury) and his investigating squad are baffled as the killer strikes again. With the only common factor being that all the victims had broken off their marriages prior to getting killed, the police starts keeping vigil at probable targets. But as collateral wrenches the heart and the body count grows, the police must act fast as the murderer gets desperate!
A narrative like this was meant to top the charts, while picturised, but was marred by sequences that were fast, unnatural and unreal.
However, this movie should be watched at least once for three reasons.
The acting of the supporting actors who just overshadowed the main cast. Anirban Chakrabarti was precise and sober, Ziaul Faruq Apurba dominated with grandeur in his curt presence and Tanika Basu was simply outstanding. No word will suffice to describe what she achieved in a role that I feel, will be most difficult to play at any time by anyone!
The next best thing to be noted was costume design by Sabarni Das. The dresses were plain and simple mostly, and fitting and realistic for the occasions captured.
But the best of everything will be the music by Debojyoti Mishra that soothes the senses and gives the movie a much needed grace in the midst of too much gore.
With content fit only for the matured, the movie will be a mostly enjoyable watch!
