Pariah Volume 1: Every Street Dog Has a Name (2024)
The film is not complete
First of all congratulations to Tathagata for presenting a commercial movie to the Bengali audience. But when Tathagata movie, I expected a touch of art from him. But disappointed.
Concept and storyline are good. Everyone's acting is good. Especially new faces. The most notable among them is Vikram's friend. He acted very fluently. Such actors should be given more opportunities. Hope to see Vikram more in commercial movies. It was very good to see Ambarish in a negative role. Many thanks to the director for removing him from the shell of the comedy and presenting him to the audience in a different role.
Cold room has a view it is made in very small scale. It could have been shot better. The VFX work is very poor.
Bhakshak (2024)
Untold stories of helpless poor girls
Pulkit is a director of a different genre, we can understand by watching his "Bose: Death/Alive". He is a very brave director. In this film too, he showed that deadly brave direction.
He tried to find solutions to the burning problems in several parts of India. The director shook the society and the Indian system very hard.
The best part of the movie is the content and the script. Bhumi pednekar and Sanjay Mishra's acting has taken the movie to perfection. But streaming the movie was possible.
I highly recommend everyone to watch this movie based on the exploitation of poor and helpless girls.
Lantrani (2024)
A good attempt at a low budget
First Story - This is the best of the three stories. Kaushik Ganguly is well known for his good deeds. That he is one of the biggest directors in India at the moment can be understood by looking at this short film. BGM and cinematography gave proper accompaniment to the direction. Without such good BGM by Indradip Dasgupta, the direction would not have been complete.
Second Story-Director Bhaskar Hazarika. I expected better work from the director of Milestones of Indian Cinema "Kothanadi", "Aamish". The content was good "advertisment covers the face". But the storyline was not compelling. There was a visible inertia in the performance of several people.
Third Story- Director Gurvinder singh. The best USP of the story is the script writing. Many talks are presented in very short time. Content and presentation is very interesting.
Overall - In all three stories there is a legitimate protest against the government system. Alternative avenues of protest in all three cases are quite interesting. Each storys are served to the audience mixed with good humor.
Karmma Calling (2024)
Indian Soap "web serie" Opera
"The universal causal law by which good or bad actions determine the future modes of an individual's existence." - KARMA
Tropic was good. But not fully fulfilled. The beginning was very good. That too till the fourth episode but then as the episode progressed Tropic started moving off its track and finally lost. It has been dragged and enlarged for no reason. A lot of unnecessary things are shown which would have been in the series even if it wasn't. In some places script writing like TV serial has been done.
Ravina tandon has acted well in other movies or her last serial "Aranyak" also has acted well. The rest of the performance is not worth watching.
Art director and costume designer have done a good job. Both are quite remarkable and deserve appreciation. Cinematography is also good at several places.
Jaha Bolibo Shotto Bolibo (2024)
Saltless cooking
Chandrashish Roy's direction is my personal favorite. But I am sorry to say that I did not get that flavor in this series. I also saw Chandrashish Roy's sense of music missing. Although he did not compose music. The cinematography is also unlike his earlier works.
But the first good aspect of the series is the script. Very well written. The tension is maintained from start to finish. Court room drama is very carefully written. However, Mimi Chakraborty's personal life has been exposed much more. It could have been done if not so much. Maybe the script would have been better if not so much focus and the length of the series would have been shorter.
The second good point is tota Roy Chowdhury's performance. A jewel actor. 2022-2023 This man gave his best. It is surprising that the industry has wanted such a good actor for so long. But as days go by, Tota Roy Chowdhury is coming out of his shell.
Hubba (2024)
A mix of art with commercial movies
Gangster movies are very rare in Bengali. And those that have been are of very low quality. "Hubba" is completely different from that. One of the milestones in Bengali movies. Brought free air to the world of Bengali movies.
First, let's talk about the background. An attempt has been made to get to the bottom of the problem. And the director has succeeded.
Bratya Bose is basically a drama personality. Very well scripted and directed. He has worked very little in Bengali cinema. "Rasta" is one of them. But everything was overshadowed by "Hubba". Bengali needs more movies like this.
Everyone's acting is very good. Basically the character selection has taken the movie much further. Nothing to say about mosharraf karim's performance. A perfect actor. The more that can be said, the less it seems. Khanjanma actor. Just saying that everyone is good at acting but not everyone can act physically, I don't think they understand.
But several places needed more editing and steam.
A perfect movie. Highly recommended.
Doctor Bakshi (2023)
The movie is without cover
Movies have to be made, so movies are made. This movie is made with this thought. The concept was good but the execution was not at all. The whole movie is without cover. Nothing is an exact match to something. There is no storyline. So the movie did not get any shape. As a result, the entire movie moves at a slow pace.
Everyone's acting is very low quality especially Boney's acting. There is no expression on the face. The whole movie has acted in the same expression in any situation. It is important to understand whether Bonnie has been taken for acting or fighting scenes.
The only good among the bad is the VFX work.
Indian Police Force (2024)
Sidharth Malhotra should be kept at Pakistan border
This type of series has been done in Bollywood before. A very simple series. Although it is a web series, it is basically made in movie format."Filmy Gaana" has also been added.
It cannot be said that Sidharth Malhotra's acting is very good. Shilpa Shetty should retire from acting. If a new face was given a chance instead of Shilpa Shetty, maybe Bollywood would have got a better actress. Vivek oberoi was acting rather well. As soon as vivek oberoi is killed in an important operation like encounter without bullet proof jacket, the speed of the series also starts to slow down. Rather sharad kelkar came for a very short time and left a good acting impression.
However, the significant part of the series is the VFX of the series. The BGM and camera work at several places deserves praise.
Sidharth Malhotra crossed illegal border in this series. I think he should quit acting and be left with the Indian army at Pakistan border.
Safed (2023)
Topic is good but the whole film is badly made
"Think of it! A second chamber selected by the whips. A seraglio of Eunuchs."-- The movie could have been good but not. Although the topic is good, the whole film is made badly because of the story line and the script is bad.
The director could not use good actors/actresses like Barkha Bisht and Jameel Khan. They were not given any place to act.
Abhay Verma got a place to act instead of them. He acted very badly. In most cases the speech is not clear. Has done lots of acting.
Cinematography is of very low quality despite having good shooting spots like Benares. Same is the case with BGM.
The director would do well if he focused on the lives of Eunuchs and Bengali widows.
Three of Us (2022)
Best and perfect Indian movie of 2023
There is no doubt that it is one of the best movies among the best three movies of 2023.
More to say about the BGM. Impossibly good Absolutely perfect. While BGM is good in most movies, Foley work is not very good. But there was no mistake here.
We all know that Shefali Shah is a very classy actress. Here again she recognized her caste. I am surprised to see her. If you put her in any container, she can take the form of that place. Which is the best quality of a great actor or actress. I think the movie would have been wonderful without Shefali Shah. The character is made for Shefali Shah only. The fact that she dances so well would have remained unknown without watching the movie.
Shefali Shah always needs a good actor to accompany her. The movie is also perfect in character selection. Jaideep Ahlawat. I think Jaideep Ahlawat is an underrated actor. It is unfortunate that Indian cinema could not use him properly.
Not mentioning the cinematography would be unfair to the movie. The location is very well chosen.
I think this is the best movie of 2023. I was forced to give 10 out of 10 to be perfect in all aspects. Highly recommended.
Kho Gaye Hum Kahan (2023)
Effects of the digital age
In the digital era, very few directors can give such a big slap on the digital platform. First of all, I would like to thank the makers.
The subject of the movie is very good and timely. There was a need for a movie on such a subject for a long time. How the digital generation is becoming isolated from society and creating an invisible wall around themselves. The most effect is that generation, that is what the movie showed.
I saw the good side that stand up comedy has been given so much space. With a smile, everyone in the society has pointed out the disease of today's society.
The acting, songs, BGM, cinematography in the movie are all highly commendable. But the hero of the film is the script. Impossibly beautiful. I was very reminded of the back mirror while watching the movie.
Highly recommended basically young generation.

Dry Day (2023)
The flavor of Bihar
Those who have seen the old Bihar means the Bihar before alcohol was banned. They will like the movie.
The biggest positive aspect of the movie is that it has the full flavor of countryman. If you watch the movie, you will feel like you are in Bihar. But the movie did not stand up because of the bad storyline. Very messy script. But the movie could have been better.
Jitendra kumar is very good actor but his personality doesn't go well with the character of this movie. The movie is too loud at some places. The success rate would have increased if it had a more funny twist.
But Annu Kapoor is different from everyone. As well as good. The script did not hinder his performance.
In the movie, the good side is less and the bad side is seen more.
Abbar Kanchanjangha (2022)
Bengali serial in the form of a movie
There is no way to understand whether it is a movie or a Bengali serial in the form of a movie. Despite having good actors and actresses, the film sinks only because of the bad story line and screenplay. The movie has been enlarged for no reason so there is no binding in the film. There is no twist in the movie so it is completely boring. The song is very bad with BGM.
It is not understood how the actresses signed such good performances in such a bad movie. It is better not to waste the money of the producers in such a way. If this is the case, producers may be afraid to invest in the future bengali movies.
Tungkulunge Eken (2023)
Cooking without salt
After watching the series, I feel that there is less salt in cooking. So the taste is not right. There is no breath in the series. Very predictable story plot. Eken Babu's sense of humor was a little lacking somewhere. Cinematographer is very bad despite shooting in such a good location in North Bengal. BGM is bad.
The focus on the character was not right. It looks too rushed. The plot and script of the story is not right so Anirban Chakraborty didn't have much to do. Satyam Bhattacharya and Suhotra Mukherjee's performances are eye-catching.
Even if Ekken Babu's movie is good, I don't understand why the web series is so bad.
Dhak Dhak (2023)
Good movie for bike riders
Those who have seen the movie Lipstick Under My Burkha, will find many similarities with the thoughts of that movie. Entire movie based on woman empowerment. This is the story of girls moving forward despite age and religion.
Ratna Pathak's acting is perfecting as she grows older. Dia Mirza has been an underrated actress ever since. Whenever she gets a chance, she gives his best performance.
Storyline is very bad and very old quality. Twist and turns is very simple. But the cinematography is impossibly good. Good movie for bike riders.
If the movie was made more carefully and had a good storyline, it could have gone to the list of good movies.
Kadak Singh (2023)
The thriller did not go well
Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's movies are famous for their family dramas. This is the first time I have seen any of his thriller movies. But the thriller did not go well.
The first reason is that thrillers have a pace that is missing here. The director has lost the momentum of the movie by giving more importance to the acting. The second reason is that the ending of the movie is very predictable. The last scene is similar to Sharadindu Banerjee's writing.
Pankaj Tripathi's acting is good but doesn't quite go with the character. Jaya Ahsan's performance was very short. Comparatively Sanjana and Parvaty's performances deserve praise.
Two songs in the movie are very good with Shantanu Maitra's music. Arghyakamal Mitra's work is good in this movie like all movies.
Apurva (2023)
Good acting but good story and lack of suspense
Everyone has a comfort zone. If you get out of there, you will see a lack of performance. We know Rajpal Yadav, Abhishek and Sumit Gulati as comedians. But in this movie, they come out of the shell of the comedian and play the role of the villain. All three passed but rajpal yadav performed exceptionally well. If one does not already know that they are basically comedians, there is no way to understand.
Tara's acting is mediocre. With bad BGM. As a result, there is room for creating good moments of suspense, but the director failed to create them. There is nothing to tell the story. Very simple.
Tarokar Mrityu (2023)
Ranjit Mallick and Harnath Chakraborty should retire with their dignity intact
Bengali movies are in crisis. The number of audiances are decreasing day by day. People like Ranjith Mallick and Harnath Chakraborty are taking Bengali cinema further back.
The storyline is not too bad but Harnath Chakraborty as a director has completely failed to use the script. The beautiful thriller has served him in a very simple way. BGM like the movie is also very simple. BGM has no way to understand whether it is thriller movie or drama base movie.
Hrithik chakraborty and porno performance
tried to pull the movie up , but Ranjit Mallik pulled the movie backward with his Daysara gocher performance. Ranjit Mallick was not suitable as a police in any way. Neither physique nor age went with his character.
One request to Hrithik chakraborty and Parno mitra please don't work with ranjit mallik and harnath chakraborty again. Yours good acting covers up for their bad deeds.
Ranjit Mallick and Harnath Chakraborty should retire with their dignity intact.
Petni (2023)
In this series, the crew in BTS has outdone everyone
There are many people behind the scenes of any series or movie but their hard work is lost behind the acting or story in front. In this series, the crew in BTS has outdone everyone.
The series can only be watched for Padmanabha Dasgupta's script, BGM and VFX. Although the story and screenplay of Padmanabh are good, the dialogue writing is not at all like Padmanabha. Although the story line is good, the search for the killer is explained within the script.
VFX work in most Bengali movies or series is very poor quality but with a small budget this series has done good VFX work.
However, in terms of acting, the acting is quite loud in several places.
Parnashavarir Shaap (2023)
Cannot expect such a series from Parambrat
Horror series are never good. Apart from two foreign series. Parambratar this series also went to that list. A possibility of season 2 has been kept at the end. It seems better not to worry about it.
Among the good ones, I only saw the cinematography. And of course the BGM. BGM is really good. Nepali song is also very beautiful. Suranjana and Chiranjith's acting is perfect. Nothing else is particularly memorable.
Good start. The thriller was progressing quite smoothly. As the series progresses towards the end, the pace starts to lose.
Parambrata first bengali series this. One cannot expect such a series from Parambrata.
Mr Kolketa (2023)
Weak screenplay
As far as I know, cinema based on the history of Kolkata has been made, but no web series has been made. Mr Kolketa is the first attempt. Good effort but script submission failed. However, there is some good information about old Calcutta in some places in the script.
The biggest problem with most Bengali web series is forcing the movie script into a series. Nothing good comes of it. A rather good subject turns into a mess. These words are absolutely appropriate for this series.
The director could not use a strong actor like Hritik Chakraborty. But in the future, if the director can make a good script and use an actor like Hritik, then hopefully the director will see success.
Chhotolok (2023)
I think this is the best Bengali web series of 2023
There is a saying that if you see the morning you can understand the whole day. This is true for this series. I think this is the best Bengali web series of 2023.
Everything in the series is perfect. After a long time, such a good series has come in Bengali language. It is completely different from the so-called Bengali series.
The pace of the series is a bit slow, but it manages to get deep into each character. The director has been able to take international standards beyond the national level.
In acting, you have to talk about Damini Bose first and then you have to talk about Damini Bose at the end. Outstanding performance in an outstanding role. Along with the rest of the company is absolutely appropriate. BGM is very good.
Even earlier in the Indranil Roychowdhury movie, a fence between the upper class and the lower class was seen. It is still very clear. Dirty game of politics. It is still clear. Indranil Roychowdhury is recognizing his caste. I was waiting for better work from the director.
Highly recommended.
NH6 (2023)
The best part is the cinematography and BGM of the series
Can it be called a web series? I didn't think at all. Those who are used to watching thriller or suspense drama will not watch till the end.
I like Yudhajit's performance. He had a lot of acting space. As much space as he got, he used the entire performance well.
But the best part is the cinematography and BGM of the series. These two stand out in the entire series. The right BGM is used at the right place at the right time. Several shots have been taken in the camera which are commendable.
However, the use of drones has been done to a greater extent. Earlier I knew Srijit used more drones and broke the mistake after seeing it.
Nice to see a national level actor like Rajesh Sharma in such a low budget series. Thanks to him for not forgetting his root.
Kaberi Antardhan (2023)
This movie has nothing to do with Kaushik Ganguly's other movies
It is very different from the kind of movies that Kaushik Ganguly makes. This movie has nothing to do with Kaushik Ganguly's other movies. I did not see anything positive in the movie.
The whole movie is a weird mess. The script sucks. No one's acting leaves a mark on one's mind. There is no such thing as storyline. Srabanti has played a full thick spot. Cinematography is good. BGM could not leave a mark on the mind.
Despite the presence of Prasenjit, Kaushik, Churni, Ambarish, the movie was not very enjoyable just because of the weak screenplay.
I didn't even think that the end of the murder mystery was so common..
