Janowar

This has shaken my belief in humanity...lost my sleep n have fear and hopelessness all arnd after watching this movie. Can exactly feel how the the police officer felt n acted at the end. Hope these criminals (not human) got what they deserved in real life.

It's really hard to watch this kind of film after knowing that the story is not a friction but a reality. You might become a little bit emotional after watching it. Anyway happy watching . And always be aware .

'Janowar aka The Beast' is a harrowing portrayal of rape and murder, based on a true story happened last year in Bangladesh. We see and read these headlines almost regularly, but do we ever understand how much torture the victims endure? This movie made me feel like I was in the crime-scene witnessing nerve-wrecking abuse. The unbearable torture at times made me feel cry for the victims , may their soul Rest in Peace. Raihan Rafi, director, successfully visualizes the brutality. Taking the concept of a happy family house suddenly turned into life-and-death parade, he beautifully contrasted the two opposite tones with artistic measure. All the cast members gave the best performance they could. Seeing the performance of the villain, you will be convinced to think of them as the real criminal. Such raw animosity! I was particularly impressed with the screenplay, the way script was built-taking a simple story of violence and treating with non-linear pattern and flashbacks, creating elements of crime-thriller through sound and camera movement was astonishing. All those slo-mo montages where the departed souls cry out adds more to the raw nature of emotions. Aside from rape and murder, this movie points out one of the most sensitive issue in the coming-of -age era, the violence towards women, how the very lack of security and how we failed as a society to give protection to our women. On that note, this film acts as a powerful social commentary. "Janowar" is not a perfect movie by any means, there are some unnecessary repetition and gore scenes that could have been trimmed, some silly graphics in the end too. But still, this film is a milestone in BD industry It can't get any more real, a true sketch of violence.

The concept was phenomenal. But it did not have any consequence. It just portrayed a gruesome incident. Should have had a proper ending. But the cast, cinematography was very appreciable. But it has some issue too. However I would recommend to watch this one and appreciate the work of the creators. I want more like this, actually better version of this type of dark movies in bangladeshi cinema.

My hand was shaking in the time of giving this review.As this is based on a true event I can't think of the incident they had faced.

This is based on a true story where a group of thieves planned to attack their home for money but they did such heinous things which is surely tough to write.

About acting what I should say everyone was so perfect with their roles.It seems like I am living that moment and I am feeling that pain. Moonmoon Ahmed Moon how good you were,how strong was the emotion,loved it.Really proud of you.Have to mention the little girl Ariya Arittra who was so excellent with her role,such innocence,such nice and also was so pathetic to see in the worse moment. And Rashed Mamunur Rahman the villain,my goodness how cruel and beast he looked,totally a masterpiece.Taskin was superb. Last but not the least Raihan Rafi the Mastermind such terrible work he has done.The way to tell story,the camera work,editing and everything you cant say that there were any mistakes or anything

Dont watch it if you are weak,a good work like these should be appreciated.
