Bohurupi

Family Crime Thriller. No violence. Excellent story and story telling. Engaging and a good finish. Could have been made 10min shorter by cutting down the unnecessary songs. But can't really complain as it was a total Paisa wasul movie.

"Bohurupi" is a captivating Bengali film that artfully blends drama and thrill while exploring the theme of chase between a cop and a bank robber. The narrative centers around a robber, who adopts various personas while committing the crimes. This journey not only reflects his personal struggles but also critiques societal pressures that give birth to criminals. The film shines with strong performances, particularly from the leads, Abir Chatterjee and Shiboprosad Mukherjee and the two women in their lives, Ritabhari Chakraborty and Koushani Mukherjee. All of them bring depth to their multifaceted characters. The cinematography beautifully captures the vibrant essence of Bengali culture, puts the light on Bohurupis, while the screenplay is laced with strong dialogues that keep the audience engaged. Overall, "Bohurupi" is a thought-provoking cinematic experience that resonates well beyond its runtime.

Bohurupi emerges as a standout masala entertainer, skillfully weaving together a tapestry of emotions, romance, drama, and action in just the right balance. The performances are stellar, with each actor bringing depth to their roles, including those in supporting positions, who enhance the overall narrative.

With its meticulous attention to detail and high production values, Bohurupi is a testament to the rich storytelling tradition of Bengali cinema. It successfully delivers an engaging and entertaining experience, celebrating local culture while keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.

Bohurupi is what we can call Bengali Cinema's answer to the Bollywood Masalas and South Extravaganzas, in its truest sense. Yet it never skipped a bit to beat to the tune of the heartbeat of Bengali audience. There lies Bohurupi's real success. Nandita Roy's home-grown story based on a real incident of bank robbery leaves the audience with an edgy afterthought about the system in our society. And I was thoroughly hooked to the screen presence of Shiboprosad Mukherjee. What a knock-out performance he has given to it! Added to it are the earthy tunes and melodies. Koushani and Ritabhari have done a good job as well! And last but not the least, Abir Chatterjee's Sumanta is the perfect foil to Shiboprosad Mukherjee's Bikram. Bohurupi has all the ingredients to be loved by class and mass alike.
