Dard

I can never raise questions about Shakib Khan's acting. He is a genuine pride of our Bangladesh. In Dard, he has given such a good expression that the role of thriller has increased to a large extent.

The way the plot is arranged by the director, writer Mr. Ananya Mamun, is undoubtedly of international standard. I expect more good movies from him.

Funny but ironic, the cinematography is so good that you hold your pee so as not to miss a single part of the movie. VFX , BGM , color grading are in one word outstanding. Everyone tried to give the best from his place. That should be it. Sonal Chauhan's simple, soft Bengali look has impressed me.

Go watch at your near theatre. Happy Watching!

🎬 Film Review: Dard (2024) Genre: Psychological Thriller No Spoilers

A doctor and a superstar actor are murdered in the city. Is Dulu Mia responsible, or is someone else behind it? To find out, you need to watch Dard.

Expectations from a Shakib Khan movie are typically low. Criticizing his work often invites unpleasant backlash, and even mentioning that you've watched his films may provoke ridicule. Moreover, the controversial director Anonno Mamun is known for creating more buzz than delivering results. While Shakib Khan has been striving to deliver cleaner films since last year, Anonno Mamun's filmography is almost devoid of hits. With this combination, I had no intention of watching this movie. But after watching it, I realized I had been wrong.

✅ Positives:

1. Shakib Khan's brilliant performance in a psycho role - He is evolving, carefully selecting scripts, which is commendable. While he was once criticized for poor-quality films and acting, his efforts to redefine his career deserve applause. His chemistry with Sonal Chauhan is lively, and the emotional scenes are well-executed.

2. A unique concept for Bangladeshi cinema - To my knowledge, this kind of storyline is unprecedented in the industry, and the trailer didn't give much away. The overall plot was quite engaging.

3. A fast-paced screenplay - The narrative never drags or feels stretched unnecessarily, ensuring you're not bored at any point.

4. Background music and cinematography - While the BGM is slightly loud, it effectively sets a thrilling atmosphere. The location in Varanasi and the cinematography stand out. Additionally, Imran's song is the only one that truly touched my heart.

⛔ Negatives:

1. Predictability - The film becomes too predictable, especially for viewers accustomed to watching thrillers. They'll likely figure out everything from the start.

2. Weak dialogue in romantic scenes - While the performances make up for it, the romantic portions could have benefitted from better writing.

3. Over-the-top comedy and villain portrayal - Some of Shakib's comedic scenes feel a bit loud, though not unbearable. The negative characters could have been more distinct to deliver a stronger impact.

4. Underwhelming climax twist - The twist in the climax could have been presented better. The director attempts to leave some aspects unexplained but ends up making it feel incomplete.

Final Thoughts:

Judging films solely by their box office performance is unfair. This movie is clearly targeted at a classy audience, not Shakib Khan's typical fanbase, who may not appreciate it. Neutral viewers, however, might expect a more polished screenplay. The lack of effective promotion, a non-festive release, and Anonno Mamun's marketing missteps could lead to its commercial failure.

Overall, Dard felt like a reasonably good movie. The most surprising elements were Shakib Khan's impressive acting and Anonno Mamun's unexpectedly enjoyable direction. With a more refined screenplay, the twists could have been genuinely surprising.

Falling for Shakib Khan, "Dorod" is among his best performances. A new discovery in Bangladeshi cinema "Dorod."

Finally, I watched the highly anticipated movie "Dorod" today, and it has introduced a new dimension to Bangladeshi cinema. Psycho-thrillers like this are rare in Bangladesh, and "Dorod" brings something fresh: "CWS" (Celebrity Worship Syndrome) - an obsessive-addictive disorder involving an intense preoccupation with a celebrity. For the first time in Bangladeshi cinema, this genre has been explored, and it's a resounding success as a Bangladeshi film. Those who enjoy psychological genres will particularly love "Dorod."

However, you'll have to stay until the end to fully understand the motive behind the story of "Dorod", and the director skillfully reveals all the motivations behind the character one by one.

What I loved the most was our megastar Shakib Khan's flawless, heartfelt acting. His performance and his expressive eyes - those who see this Shakib Khan will never question his acting again. His eyes alone seemed to act, making it impossible to look away. And in the final scene, Shakib Khan's acting will bring tears to anyone's eyes. This is the Shakib Khan we want to see again and again.

Watching Sonal Chauhan and Shakib Khan together on screen, it didn't feel like they're from two different countries; their chemistry was amazing. Everyone will love this pairing. In short, both Shakib Khan and Sonal Chauhan delivered perfect performances on screen.

Besides them, Rahul Dev, Payel Sarkar, Alok Jain, and Rajesh Sharma also performed wonderfully in this film. Although, I did expect a bit more from Payel Sarkar's character. A new Bangladeshi girl, Safa Marwa, also starred in the film; she did well and looked glamorous.

The film's setting is mainly around Banaras in India. The cinematography and screen visuals throughout were enjoyable, with camera work and color grading that were easy on the eyes. However, the director could have explored the locations in more depth.

The background music in this film was excellent, with each scene's music enhancing the depth of the story. The best part was when Shakib Khan walked in the final scene with that music playing.

The movie includes three songs, and I particularly loved the last one. Additionally, the song sung by Balam was also impressive, and parts of his song were used as background music in some scenes, which I really liked.

If I had to point out any flaws in the film, there are some technical aspects, but I can overlook them. For the first time, a psychological theme (CWS) has been depicted in Bangladeshi cinema, bringing something fresh and valuable to our industry. It's worth watching this Bangladeshi film at least once. As a Bangladeshi film, I found it to be top-notch. Shakib Khan will make your money well spent, and you'll leave having experienced a refreshing new take on Bangladeshi cinema that you'll really enjoy.

This obviously proofs one point that doom is right upon us. The dialogue, acting performance, elements were poorly executed. Visuals effects, color depth, looks backward. Set pieces feels unrealistic. Story has no major plotpoint its underwritten. The filmmakers, screeners & production is only to be blamed. Because, of their ignorance & inexperience bd cinema is near its extinction.

Number of cinema halls & Stars are insufficient. Most of them lacking dance, acting, appearances & figure compare to Bollywood. They're just here for the paycheck & don't care if their film performance or creating aware There busy making headlines of their controversies, remarriage & divorce. And film industry dont even hire & search for new talents from the society or general public. Look around even Nezha 2, Pushpa 2 both burnt their pre existing box office records & created their own record in global. Also War 2 & Avatar 3 even making news when its far from release.

Now where are we & what we have to complete. Furthermore, law & certification is hindering process of creativity & making. Method of giving rating & approval by content according to the age should be followed. Industry insiders must address this issue properly before its too late.
