Lost

Lost is a thriller film directed by aniruddha roy chowdhury.

See, this film has its politics at its right place but the path it chooses is quite cumbersome and laborious. The screenplay does not let you hook with the storyline. The characters are not interesting enough. The performances are great. Yami gautam, pankaj kapoor, rahul khanna are fabulous. Kaushik sen in a small role did a wonderful work. The cinematography is epic. Kolkata has always been a city of great mystery. The film establishes it through its narrow lanes quite well. The music is melodious. The commentary on caste and propaganda politics is loud and clear but it remains surface level until the last scene. It hampers the overall quality of the film. The investigation procedure could have been more crisp. This is a good film bogged down by its convoluted screenplay.

So many good actors and yet Lost fails to deliver on what could have been a good movie.

The premise is good, but as many reviews have noted the story is stretched too long. I can't even call it slow burn. Many scenes are unnecessarily long, and some don't even add much to portraying who the characters are or contributing to the story.

The way characters talk to each other feels weird and unnatural. I couldn't help feel that Rahul Khanna was trying to emulate RG✋ which just distracts from the story. Did the writers really want that?

Reviews that have given this 9 and 10 stars is Lost on me. Maybe I missed something?

Sameer lodaya.

The movie is well balanced between the fact and assumption

The movie has a general content of a missing boy in which a politician is involved..yami as a criminal reporter tries to join the dots and investigates about the missing boy

The making is very good with yami again played a very strong character after her thrilling movie A THURSDAY though she looked a little soft but managed very well as good support by pankajji, Rahul as usual looks very fresh and young also played a smart politician...some scenes were really very strong in dialogues deliveries

The core part of the movie is the climax which is very good and will ask you what is right and wrong

Let's see how other movies performs as there are many releases this weekend.

If you want to address too many issues and you don't have strong story nothing can save you. Lost picked up haphazardly and then set some momentum but then collapsed. Everyone tried little too hard and no actor other than Rahul Khanna is convincing. Yami sadly was main lead and her role was most confusing. She had to be brave, journalist, vulnerable and she get connected to the antagonist due to her father.

Film was too repetitive and unnecessary songs were introduced which did nothing but were irritating. At times you too give up with Yami that film will remain bleak with unnecessary introduction of unnecessary plots. Most hilarious was the ending when you hear lecture which was more repulsive as you know how whole plot that was built has been collapsed and now director wants to save himself by telling the viewer how you have been made sucker.

Skip it to save headache l.

Lost is a political thriller drama which makes you question about a lot of society problems and of course the government politics. Vidhi a journalist whose aim is to cover and know the story of a lost guy who's suddenly been missing with no reason. Movie sets it's tone from start gets gripping every minute and start questioning your mind with different situations and aspects of lots of political issues. But can a simple journalist make the questioning to the high sector like minister and big political name of India that still hard to believe. Story & Direction is on point but movie is very slow paced and sometimes it gets you bored because each character takes it's time rather to go on a fast note because story isn't unique or different as we've seen previous films based on this just had different perspectives. For ex. KAHAANI is the prime example of a thriller and this film will give you vibe of Kahaani film. YAMI GAUTAM shines in the whole movie and her performance is the only highlights of the film rest of the cast is good but could've been better. Screenplay could've been more tight as it is very slow paced with a slow story. It's an interesting story to follow but it's not everyone's cup of tea.....
