Khadaan

This film depicts the war of power and friendship between two coal-mine workers and mafias of Damodar Valley, with some amazing action, twists & turns.

The story, co-screenplay, co-dialogues and direction by #SoojitRinoDutta is good. His narrative style is simple and linear mostly.

The story and screenplay is engaging. But some scenes were dragging at times.

#ShaileshAwashthi being the cinematographer steals the show. It is of high order.

#MdKalam's editing could have been crisper by 15 minutes or so.

Music Directors #RathijitBhattyacharya, #NilayanChatterjee & #Savvy has done a great job, specially the Kishori song. Other songs are peppy too.

As per the performances are concerned, #Dev and #JisshuSengupta has performed very well. #IdhikaPaul looked ravishing, #BarkhaBisht made a great comeback, but her dialect was not convincing enough as a colliery inhabitant. #AnirbanChakrabarti has yet again given a consistent performance. #ParthasarathiChakraborty tried to give a shade to his character resembling Nasser from Bahubali. #SnehaBose has not given proper space in the narrative. #JohnBhattacharya as Makhan has his fair share of antagonism but the narrative tends too predictable for smart audience for the main one and looked upon him as a puppet in the hands of the average screenplay. But he looked very fit, handsome and flaunted a killing persona. The other casts including Sumit Ganguly, Sujan Neel Mukherjee, Raja Dutta, Aayan Sohan, Biswajit Ghosh, Raima Pal, Debashis Nath had lent abled support.

Pradip Bhattacharya has his moments worth remembering and Jayshree Bose was endearing too, but her assassination scene was not justified when the other family members were abducted to the climax. Is it only because the latter were leads or what?

Production by #SurinderFilms & #DevEntertainmentVentures respectively of #NispalSingh & Dev along with distributor Surinder Films has made a mass popular film providing wholesome entertainment. 👍🏻
