Mirza: Part 1 - Joker

A superbly shot ganglord film written & well-directed by #SumeetGoradia & #SaahilGoradia, perfectly-knit story & screenplay by #ArnabBhaumik, a superb and successful Production by #AnkushHazra, #AbirGupta & #ArkadebUkil. The overall looks of the cast is amazing, along with the incredible performances of Dancing Superstar Ankush Hazra, #OindrilaSen, auteur #KaushikGanguly, #RishiKaushik, #PriyaMondal, #ShoaibKabeer, #ShantilalMukherjee, #SankarDebnath, #SumitGanguly ( cameo ), #KunalBhandari, #RatanSarkhel, #RajatGanguly, #BiswaroopBiswas and the adorable #RyanGuhaNeogi along with others.

Cinematography by the wizard #AnimeshGhorui is superb with sharp editing by #SanglapBhaumik, but it could have been 15 mins crisper. Music by #IshanMitra & #AneekDhar is superb and worth-humming.

With lots of Twists and Turns and an interesting cameo epilogue ( will not give any spoilers ), Production company #AnkushHazraMotionPictures & distributor #PVRInoxPictures will surely incur huge profit, because this film is technically very well-made, stylish and honestly shot. The efforts invested are visible. Kudos!👍🏻 A Must-Watch Commercial Film not to be missed 👍🏻🍫

My Rating --- 8/10.

Movie- Mirza

Well, there are gangsters in the city of Kolkata who eat biryani and say the Arabic meaning of their name to the deceased? They can kill people for their own needs, can it be called serial killing? Are they look like Shahrukh Khan from 'Raees'? Did you notice why all the gangsters belongs to Muslim community? Is it not a partiality? Ok, I consider all these things. When the movie begins with the iftar scene & after some days Holi comes, it shocked me a lot. WT* ...

The story is nothing but an orphan Mirza, who is a card player raised by a police officer, grows up & later joins the gang of drug racket to avenge the injustice done to his foster father. I think you can understand the most typical revenge template. In the meantime there is a suspicious fisher woman Muskan pretends to fall in love with Mirza. On the other side an ruthless NCB officer Kaustav is trying to catch the gang lord Sultan & his son Azhar. Mirza join hands with Sultan & gains their trust. When all arrangement are set to catch Mirza, it ends up with his betrayal for his own gang. Moreover it also revealed that Muskan is non other than an undercover cop. But before police can catch Sultan, Mirza finished him. When Kaustav arrests him he was ordered to free him without any logic. Actually there is no base of double game technique of Mirza.

According to an honest spectator, I feel very bored on the script. From the beginning, the movie is just cheesy with no honest attempt to tell a solid story. I can't go with the detailing because it may cause the spoiler, but it is the fact that every scene is so clumsy that one stumbles from one scene to the next. The most annoying thing is the dialogue of the movie. Children are talking so much nonsense that it is impossible to connect, the cops are so dumbed down in the vital moment that it's like watching a children's cartoon. As a newbie, the director's attempts fail because of such cheap screenplays. And for the whole two and a half hours, the same loud atmosphere rings so many times that the ears get stuck. Among the two songs, the love track 'Ghalib' alone is not bad to listen to but does not add any impact to the movie. Mirza's title song itself not a genuine one, also it can't provides new flavour in the movie. The first 15 minutes felt so irritating that I felt like passing out immediately. I was only there to see the cameo part. When I finally saw it, I realized that this was the worst part. Probably the makers are not movie buff, they only believe in gimik not in good filmmaking.

Mirza Part 1 presents a cinematic experience that, while commendable in its direction, falls short in emotional depth and character development. Directed with finesse, the film lacks the necessary emotional resonance to fully engage its audience. Despite its promising premise, the story fails to evoke strong feelings, leaving viewers disconnected from the characters' journeys.

The pacing of the film is sluggish, with characters moving at a pace that feels lethargic rather than deliberate. This sluggishness detracts from the overall impact of the narrative, making it difficult for viewers to fully invest in the unfolding events.

Ankush's & Koushik Ganguly's performance, while not outright poor, fails to deliver the expected level of excellence. Their portrayal lacks the nuance and depth needed to breathe life into his character, resulting in a performance that feels lackluster compared to his previous work.

However, despite its shortcomings, Mirza Part 1 still offers moments of intrigue and visual splendor. The direction showcases a keen eye for detail, with beautifully crafted scenes that capture the essence of the story's setting. The cinematography is particularly noteworthy, capturing the mood and atmosphere of each scene with precision.

In conclusion, Mirza Part 1 is a film that warrants a single viewing, primarily for its strong direction and visual appeal. While the story may lack emotional resonance and the characters may move at a slow pace, the film still manages to deliver moments of intrigue and beauty. Koushik Ganguly's performance may not be his best, but it is serviceable within the context of the film. Overall, Mirza Part 1 is a one-time watch that offers glimpses of brilliance amidst its flaws.

Looking at the sorry state of the Bengali commercial scene and taking the scarcity of mainstream cinema into consideration, 'Mirza' does come across as a devoted attempt, a naive effort to bring the masses back into the theater.

However, mass entertainers need more than ambition; they mandate proper vision, mass sensibility, and, above all, an effective script to aid in their cause.

"Mirza" regrettably lacked in all these aspects.

The biggest blunder they did was to reveal every twist and turn in the trailer, thereby diminishing all plausible scopes to blow audiences' minds and grab onto their attention. It indisputably had the style and the swag but faltered heavily on character backstories and emotions.
