Kazi

One rare movie of a kind which has been able to depict so much detail in s short run-time, it feels as if you're reading a book rather than watching visuals. No time is wasted in building the background of the characters as it is swiftly brought out through relatable incidents. As soon as you empathise with the main characters, before you know it, you are now under a spell with the a rollercoaster of suspense that takes you on an exhilarating ride through the labyrinth of the human mind.

The standout feature is undoubtedly the unique storyline of a mind reader and a dream watcher that would bind you in the psychological struggles unfolding on screen. Apart from the relatable dialogues and subtle acting by all actors, the direction and cinematography are on-point taking you back and forth each event. I specifically appreciate the fantastic music that adds to the emotion on screen. A delight to enjoy this movie, presented in such affordable means.

On the whole, the director, in a remarkable debut, showcases a mind-bending display of the psychological thriller genre. The pacing is masterfully controlled, allowing tension to build gradually while keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. The movie ends in a way that is quite open ended and made me think of it for days ahead.

"KAZI" is a cinematic masterpiece that leaves an indelible mark on the soul. Released just yesterday on the open theatre, this film transcends the boundaries of conventional storytelling, diving deep into the intricacies of the human experience. It's a gripping journey that resonates long after the credits roll.

The movie's intensity is unparalleled, immersing the audience in a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. Each scene is meticulously crafted, drawing viewers into a world where the line between reality and fiction blurs beautifully. The narrative is both thought-provoking and riveting, challenging societal norms and prompting introspection.

One of the most striking elements of "KAZI" is its ability to provoke thought. It's not just a film; it's a catalyst for discussions on life, morality, and the complexities of human relationships. The characters are multifaceted, and portrayed with depth and nuance, making their struggles and triumphs profoundly relatable.

The direction is nothing short of brilliant, seamlessly weaving together various elements, be it cinematography, sound design, or the performances-to create an immersive experience. The visual aesthetics are breathtaking, enhancing the overall impact of the storyline.

Moreover, the performances are stellar, with each actor delivering a tour de force portrayal. Their raw emotions and authenticity pull at the heartstrings, leaving an indelible impression on the audience.

"KAZI" is not just a movie; it's an experience that lingers in your mind, urging you to contemplate its profound themes. It challenges perspectives, ignites conversations, and showcases the power of cinema in its purest form.

In essence, "KAZI" is a tour de force that deserves every accolade it receives. It's a testament to the artistry and depth that cinema can achieve-an intense, thought-provoking masterpiece that demands to be seen and felt.

At the outset let me make it clear that Kazi is neither one of those contrived mainstream thrillers nor is it your textbook arthouse film.

Sheba Ghosh debuting as a director and donning multiple hats (including a nice understated performance) has come up with a mind boggling psychological thriller.

The movie would definitely come across as a slow burner but your patience is surely going to be rewarded towards the end.

I don't want to reveal too many details and spoilers because I think Kazi is something you have to watch and experience.

Kudos to the entire team for having delivered such a unique feature and special credit to Sheba for a fantastic debut.

PS: I loved the bgm apart from a set of other things like the relatable dialogues, the characterisation and the unpredictability in the screenplay.

The Kaziman Rai Bahadur, a mysterious personality, takes you on a ride though the highs and lows of his life. In this slow burn mystery drama, which will keep you at the end of your wits, Kazi is not the only character that keeps on tugging you along. In the second half of the movie, the suspense has already reached a crescendo, and it becomes unbearable with so many unanswered questions. You start making your own theories about the characters surrounding the protagonist, to find yourself, losing to the imagination of the writer.

Sheba Ghosh has done an amazing job as a writer and director. Since the movie opened with a school sequence, and the protagonist seemed to have some special powers, one thinks of equating it with Matilda, but then as the story jumps to the unfortunate incident of a murder and miscarriage, the viewers may start thinking of Drishyam.

The movie is like Secret Life of Walter Mitty, if Walter Mitty was kept in a medical institution for clinically insane instead of his monotonous job.

1. This is a movie with a different story (flavour). Though it is a slightly short movie but it will kept u sitting till the last minute. Movie is slightly slow in the mid phase but kept generating curiosity among the audience.

2. Mind reading is entirely a different concept in itself. Sheba has done a wonderful work to showcase this thing in a movie. Though it was a first movie as director and actress. She has done remarkably well. Other actors are also acted pretty well.

3. Shishir has a small role but he did justice again to his role. I think Team Kazi deserved accolades for showcasing the such a concept with great storyline. A must watch movie at this time where other Directors are focusing more on action ....that too without story. This movie is a ray of hope to watch something different.
