Kolkata Chalantika

It is what should be called a movie;awsome⭐⭐⭐no star cast no stardom scenes,simply beautiful,engaging,no overratedinternational/underworld story, but a story everyone can be connected through somewhere or by someone..its under rated i think no one will watch it in theatres but it will have a long life,worthy for a memmorable movie...dont get overhyped;its simple and awsome at the same time.

This movie characters are very amazing and natural acting. Sourav is very talented actor and director Pavel are very clever too.

Perfect weekend family entertainer. The scenes are well timed and acting is just what you need. Pavel direction is on point. Looking forward to many more.

From everything I heard about this film, what I expected from this film was a small comedy film that plays in the safe zone of a Bengali Industry. But I was wrong. Even though it does what the best of Bengali film does, which is giving a class film with emotions that will make you so attached to it and at least at one point makes your eyes wet, this film does that with a vision and finesse that is somewhat still fresh.

From the beginning itself, it started showing a bit of comedy and a bit of tragedy without belittling each other's presence. From there to the various situations created, the slow reveal through the 150 minutes runtime to that beautiful ending, everything worked brilliantly. The ensemble cast was brilliant among which at least three of them brought out their best performances yet and each and everyone else fit perfectly in the film. Sourav was the one that impressed me the most being able to make me easily attach him and within seconds making me cry for him.

The finesse with which the movie changes from a party comedy to family drama and back is commendable. The on-point cinematography and editing along with the rest of what I mentioned before is just proof that debutant director Pavel knows exactly what and how to direct his story. This is one of the best directorial venture in Bengali in recent times and probably one of the best movie, not just in Bengali, of 2022.

First half was enjoyable, but story became disappointing in second half. Very poor imotional build up. Not a single scene after bridge collapse you'll feel sympathy for any of those characters. Most horrible twist is with Kiran Dutta's character. I don't know why director twisted it like this, but this is the most horribly written twist I've ever seen in a movie theatre. That twist literally killed all emotions for that film. In end suddenly all corrupt people becaming honest was not necessary and seems unrealistic. Director have utilised good actors less. Two characters who died in bridge collapse, doesn't get 2min screentime before they died, related people's sadness also get less than 2min screentime. A women who lives in road under a bridge spend a night in police station for women sefety- really?

I've seen all Pavel movies before, only this one I feel not worth watching in movie theatre.

Heartouching movie. Mixture of Emotional and fun. Moreover upholds much values. An extremely feel good movie...Except the lag felt at certain instances everything was nice... It's a movie to be watched peacefully and being ready to entertain...casting is perfect and each have done their part very well. A normal Happy ending feelgood drama👍. Director knows how to entertain viewers .. Every sequence in this filim awesome.. Don't miss this movie, No sooper stars no haipe no add promotion but this movie will run everyday housefull...The story takes about 15-20minute to set in with the characters and locations. Once that is done, the movie goes on a Enjoying riot. You will be surprised how your own emotions play along the movie.

It's been a long time since a really enjoyable movie has been released in bengali. Dont expect a very comical version of our past movies. This is actually a very simple plot with a lot of innocence. Starting to end the movie especially actors are not failed to impress. Other co actors have done an amazing performance. Sourav das especially, the character has been very well portrayed. The performance of Ishaa saha was also amazing. Screenplay and Direction was absolutely amazing. Overall, the film is a joy ride, guaranteed that it would be worth the time and money. Overall, a very strange story set up, but developed it brilliantly to a 2hr movie. Worth watching 'Kolkata Chalantika'
