Shri Swapankumarer Badami Hyenar Kobole

I recently watched "Shri Swapankumarer Badami Hyenar Kobole," and unfortunately, it fell far short of my expectations. Despite the promising premise, the execution left much to be desired.

Firstly, the storyline lacked coherence and depth. It felt disjointed, with poorly developed characters and confusing plotlines that left me struggling to stay engaged. The pacing was inconsistent, with slow moments that failed to build tension and rushed scenes that left important details overlooked.

For me, the most painful part was the disconnect and incoherence in the storyline, which my "buddhi-jibi"(educated) brain just couldn't take after a certain point....

Really, the worst movie starring Abir, by a longshot. Sorry Abir.

This movie is so bad that swapna Kumar the writer may come and haunt the director. I was pretty much exited for this one because of the story also a bit for abir. For long I was thinking why no one is making any movie on Shri swapan Kumar's stories.

Now if I come to the movies it's pretty much pathetic. I was trying so hard to complete it but was unable to do so. Some random stuff was happing, extremely dramatic which was not needed, pretty much boring and so on.

From the outset, the film struggles to find its footing, careening wildly between subplots without ever fully committing to any one narrative thread. Characters are introduced and promptly forgotten, their backstories hastily sketched out in clumsy exposition dumps that do little to endear them to the audience. The result is a disjointed jumble of half-baked ideas that never coalesce into a cohesive whole.

I am dead watching this and my spirit is giving this warning not to watch. Total failure of a experiment. Some people can fake it that they like it to show how creative their mind is but trust me it's a total time waste and most disturbing is they know that they are not making any sense and expect the people to watch shamelessly and the wrongfully depicted scene to be accepted by audience. The only thing I liked in the movie is Shruti Das's presence. Everytime she comes in screen it's engaging. She can easily be said the epitome of hotness in Bengali movie nowadays. I want to watch more of her in coming cinemas.

The story starts off on a promising note, it initially captivates with its unique and unconventional approach. The engaging dialogue and dynamic interaction between the characters, particularly the 'creator' and his 'creation', add a touch of brilliance to the narrative. The opening act exuded a vibrant and extravagant charm that truly delighted me.

However, everything takes a sharp turn once the plot reaches the intermission. The writing all of a sudden becomes excessively self-absorbed, disregarding larger implications of the tale. Subsequently, a sense of confusion seeps in, leading to incoherence and further befuddlement.

Oh I am so happy and nostalgic. I found myself whistling inside the cinema hall after decades, at the entry of Deepak Chatterjee! I forgot I turned 50 a few months ago.

This movie could have been a tad shorter, shorn off some excess.. but that said, it is an ode to first Universe of bengali pulp literature, the page turners of my and my elder bro's childhood.....the collective magical times of that generation.

Smartly crafted, intelligently scripted, passionately acted, luridly costumed....it shamelessly shuts up logic and unleashes a tale of such fun and over-the-top ness.. that we are reminded that it takes a genius to play the fool.

There are touches of nonlinear time flows, magic realism, subtle digs and sarcasms...references to cult movies...but these are plastic words and let me stop here.. simply go and dive into it.
