Karnasubarner Guptodhon

This is possibly the worst Bengali detective movies ever made. Rajatabha and Arjun take overacting to the next level.... Isha Saha is wasted in the role. It is high time the actors pay close heed to the understated brilliance and subtlety of Feluda and Byomkesh from the yesteryears. The script is fraught with glaring errors, acting is over the top and hard to imagine that the movie was intended to serve as a crime thriller. I am thoroughly underwhelmed and disappointed that an actor like Abir Chatterjee chose to serve as the lead for this movie. He needs to focus on better quality scripts. Overall a very disappointing experience.

Film review: Karnasubarner Guptodhan #sanjuzzreviews #karnasubernerguptodhan #AbirChatterjee #ArjunChakrabarty #ishasaha

Our desi Indiana Jones, Shuborno Sen aka Shonada (Abir Chatterjee) is back with a bang with the third installment of the series after Guptodhaner Sandhane and Durgeshgorer Guptodhan. And man .. the movie really lives up to the high standards set by the franchise.

This time Shonada, Abir ( Arjun Chakraborty) and Jhinuk ( Ishaa Saha) are summoned to Gaur to decipher riddles and locate the treasure of the famous 12th century King Shashanka.

As usual there baddies waiting to lay their hands on the treasure and how our three musketeers manage to outwit them forms the crux of the plot.

Abir as Shonada breezes through his part and is a treat to watch .. dashing & suave as ever!! The chemistry between Isha & Arjun is cute as they play loyal sidekicks in Shonada's quest to locate the hidden treasure. However Sourav Das & Rajatava Dutta as the baddies are the real stars as they share amazing chemistry between them with their funny quips and dialogues which keeps the audience in splits.

The film is slow to start off, but slowly picks up pace somewhere near interval time. Cinematography is great, especially the shots of hills, forests and archeological remains have been aesthetically captured.

Karnasuberner Guptodhan has the right mix of history, mystery and adventure to make it an extremely entertaining film. BGM is quite good too.

A clean film with minimal blood and gore. Suitable for all age groups. Unmissable!!

Waiting eagerly for more films in this franchise!!

And yeah we still don't know who shimonti Sarkar ( Shonada's secret girlfriend is 🙂)

Shubho Bijaya to all my bong friends !!

4/5 for this one .... Adios🙂!!

Dhruvo Banerjee's 'Guptadhan' series continues to garner success in both viewer's reception as well as in financial terms. In spite of having a familiar, formulaic structure, these films tend to generate a considerable amount of footfall in the theatre. Keep in mind, however, that great box office numbers do not necessarily translate into superior products, and unfortunately this is true as well in this particular case.

As a treasure hunt, it gets the job done. The surplus amount of historical knowledge would fascinate history buffs and enthusiasts alike. But what about the rest of the audience? Does it offer anything else? I'm afraid not.

The comedy which was deemed to be a prime focus fails mainly due to poor write-up. While its visuals are pretty nice given how limited the resources typically are for Bengali content, the less I say about its action, the better. The only saving grace for me was the ensemble; the indispensable trio of Abir, Arjun and Isha made this whole execution blossom. And a special mention is due to Mr. Rajatava Dutta. What a performer!

Just when I thought nothing could be worse than Kakababu Prottaborton, comes this. This one is the worse one of the Guptodhon series, and ironically grossing better than the other ones. The film is filled with exposition after exposition, factual errors, cartoonish villains, no real stake, no adventure and bad cgi. Abir looks suave and can play these roles in his sleep with ease now. Arjun isn't loud as its previous installment, but doesn't add anything to the plot rather than have a half baked romantic sub plot with Ishaa who looks good onscreen. Rajatava Dutt does justice to the role given to him but its the writing which makes his dreaded character cartoonish, and so does Sourav's character. Cant say anything about cinematography as its repeating itself now, each film looks the same (and Tansener Tanpura from Hoichoi too looks the same). Skip it and dont waste your money. Wait for the OTT release if you want to watch it.

It has been a while I watched a 'mainstream' Bengali movie. My mom read some review on Times or Telegraph about how it's great' giving it a 4/5 rating so I thought let's watch it for the Pujas. So I riled up the whole family and we went for it.

The opening car chase and accident and the vfx on that looked very decent. Then came a huge info dump and I just stopped caring about 2 mins in. It was dreadful. Do people think that if they just give huge expositions, people are gonna care? Then came the dialogues. It was quirky and funny and then it just dragged. We get it, the supporting guy likes food.

The villain is the most un-intimiinidating villain coming in to follow the main cast like back in the movies of cat and mouse chase. It feels there is no stakes even after the villain reveals himself and threatens everyone with a gun.

The so called detective work is stupid and the puzzles more stupid.

We just couldn't. I looked at my family members and we all nodded. We knew we are gonna walk out now.

Never watching another Bengali movie without it running for at least a week so I can read some Audience reviews and not corporate reviews that were bought.
