Buno Haansh

A must watch! Dev has given another powerful performance as the central character and silenced his critiques yet again. Not sure how long the intellectuals can go on ignoring his talents! Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's direction is outstanding. The thrilling story is based on Samaresh Mazumdar's novel, - it is the gripping story of Amal - a simple man, born into a poor family who works as a security guard at a mall. He gets tempted by the world of wealth and lust and lives his ordinary life to join the underworld, and gradually gets trapped into the world of greed and crime. All the supporting casts - Srabanti, Tanusree Chakraborty, Sohag Sen, Sudiptaa Chakraborty, Moon Moon Sen have performed their acts exceptionally well. The music and songs have matched the situations perfectly. Shantanu Moitra along with Anindya and Chandril and other singers have done wonders. Specially I was in love with the song - "Zindagi kahin bhi thamti nahin (Life never stops anywhere), " Overall 4.5/5 from me.

Finally I watched it..it takes almost 10 years to come over to this perticular dev movie. After watching this..now I can say it's actually ahead of its time..all the performances are great..i actually shocked after realising that this movie shot at real locations..the bgms of this movie are perfect. Firstly it makes you emotional and then the thrill takes you to the end and leave you with an unsatisfactory ending..the editing..the screenplay all are great..never thought this movie can be that good in cinematography..i am a little bit unsatisfied with the ending of the story..the twists and turns engaged you all the time..you never bored..it you are a Bengali movie lover then you should give it a watch. That's it..

In Buno Haansh actor Dev has come a lot ahead than the days of challenge,yet i have some doubt over his skill in dialog delivery which is visible in parts of the movie.DoP did a great job in the movie,as the cultures of three different cities Dhaka,Bangkok and Kolkata has come alive.Score from Santanu Moitra is not something to remember coming out of the hall and it has failed to create suspense anywhere in the movie. What the film really lacks i feel is suspense.Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury has tried to mix thrill of chase with grief of losing loved and dear ones.The viewer is never forced to sit tight and shiver in tension about what is going to happen next moment.Though the film had great potential it lacks the x-factor to be remembered after years.However it is surely best Bengali movie of 2014.

Devastating acting from the hero Dev who doesn't have the clear idea when & how he should react or which situation how to show emotion or not & he just only utters hush hash sound throughout the whole movie in every scene LoL.

Director wanted to make Bunohash as an art and a thriller movie simultaneously.

Irrelevant story, screenplay & Ending as well as.

The director portrays the hero as a naive & innocuous person from the very begining of the movie but at the end of the movie when the hero who first touched the Pistol in his life & later on he killed a villain by just a shot from a long distance.

Pure piece of ridicule.

BUNO HAANSH unfolds the story of an unsuspecting youth who gets trapped in the activities of an International smuggling racket. Amol (Dev) lives in a poor colony in Kolkata with his Mother, elder brother and his wife. Theirs is a needy family. Through his friend's contact Amol meets an influential lady of the nefarious group (MoonMoon Sen). Soon, he is criss-crossing the world, from Dacca to Bangkok, meeting dubious people and handing over illegal stuff to them. In the process, Amol moves further away from his family and his lady-love (Srabonti) who is battling a debilitating ailment..

In Bangkok Amol meets a mysterious girl J (Tanusree Chakraborty). She reveals to Amol that she did a course in tourism in Kolkata and was recruited by a travel company for a plum assignment in Bangkok. When she reached Bangkok, her passport was taken away by the company and she was coerced to work as an Escort. She somehow managed to grab her passport and flee from that place. Now goons are on the lookout for her...

The film is based on a story by Samaresh Mazumdar and directed by Aniruddha Roy Choudhury. The director ARC is repeatedly working to expand the breadth of meaningful Bengali cinema in terms of locales. In his APARAJITA TUMI he shot at several cities in the United States. Even in this film he takes the Bengali viewer to Dacca, Bangkok and other International destinations.

The director keeps the ending open-ended. I particularly liked the way the film ended. None of the relationship is taken towards a logical conclusion. The character of J is quite interesting. She is ambitious and quite ethical in her dealings. She is practical too, and when Amol could not get a Visa, J doesn't let her sentiments bog her down.

Rating: 3.8 out of 5
