Raktabeej

Shiboprasad-Nandita duo is a prominent name in the Bengali film fraternity. They started their career with some groundbreaking movies that were ahead of their time. Gradually, their work became monotonous and somehow lingered in the family drama genre. After a long hiatus, they made a comeback with a social-thriller named 'Raktabeej,' featuring an ensemble cast, including the ace actor Victor Banerjee, Anusuya Majumder, Kanchan Mallick, Abir Chatterjee, Mimi Chakraborty, etc. In this tumultuous time when directors are often hesitant to create political films, the director duo showed their courage by choosing a bold subject against the backdrop of the Khagragarh blast. The screenplay and editing of this film are top-notch, and the supporting characters have done an excellent job. The music, while good, sometimes hindered the pace of the film. The linear screenplay is perfectly matched with the festive mood. This movie raises a valid question: 'Is forgiving always the right decision?' Kudos to this director duo for bringing us such unique content in Bengali cinema. I'm eagerly awaiting its sequel.

Raktabeej is not just a film! Raktabeej is an experience, where cinema meets reality. And this merging is seamless! It is really amazing how the directors have blended the flavours of Durga Puja with that of suspense. The details of puja days, the rituals, the rural flavour s and flamboyance on one side and ruthless remains of a blast, the trauma, the loss on the other side. And all seem real. It is indeed a surprise package from Directors Nandita Roy and Shiboprasad Mukherjee. The directors who have always made films based on emotions and family ties, have come up with a film that blends the genres of thriller and emotions so effortlessly! Kudos to the directors.

Today I watched 'Raktabeej' movie with my family. For those who want to watch this movie during Pujo, please go and watch the movie with the whole family... Nandita-Siboprasad directors duo has given us such a wonderful movie named Raktabeej. In one word it is 'amazing'. It is in line with the reality, And what about Victor Banerjee? He is just "wow" There was no turning back. Every character in the movie gives their all and made the movie real.

Raktabeej is larger than life! Raktabeej is real! It is not just a movie but an encounter with the reality, where you get to re-live a shocking incident, that shook Bengal during the pujas, a few years back. Victor Banerjee's portrayal of Our late President Honourable Sri Pranab Mukherjee is utterly convincing. The terror is real! On the other hand, the joy of homecoming is real, too. The joy of meeting your sibling after a long time is real and the emotion of their bond touches you! And it is here that the directors have delivered the masterstroke! They have successfully retained the emotional aspects of their film, even while delivering an edge-of-the-seat thriller! Kudos! Raktabeej is a must-watch!!
