Shri Swapankumarer Badami Hyenar Kobole

I was waiting for this movie for a long time. But Watching it was a dejecting feeling. The presence of the writer Swapankumar, enacted by Paran Banerjee, has made it more monotonous. Banerjee's monologue is too dull. The occasional reference and deliberate comparison of Dipak Chatterjee with the immortal character, particularly Feluda, is utterly unacceptable. The theme and content do not have a head or tail. No doubt, the detective stories of Swapankumar are entertaining. But the perspective of this generation is different. The film has done more injustice to Swapankumar. The initiation of Swapankumar detective stories is a super flop. It is utterly worthless content.

Outstanding concept and cinematography . Awesome music. Very good characters and a very very good climax. Could have been shorter by round 30 mins as it feels to drag in the first part of second half.

Will be looking forward to more such work from Debaloy Bhattacharya .

The story starts off on a promising note, it initially captivates with its unique and unconventional approach. The engaging dialogue and dynamic interaction between the characters, particularly the 'creator' and his 'creation', add a touch of brilliance to the narrative. The opening act exuded a vibrant and extravagant charm that truly delighted me.

However, everything takes a sharp turn once the plot reaches the intermission. The writing all of a sudden becomes excessively self-absorbed, disregarding larger implications of the tale. Subsequently, a sense of confusion seeps in, leading to incoherence and further befuddlement.

This film is a mess. Neither it engages you, not it gives you a thrilling storyline. Apart from Abir, the rest of the cast is completely miscast. Abir also has done a very poor job comparing to his work in Rawktobeej. The acting of the lady cop/detective is very forced, her looks are horrible. If you are making a movie where it is mandatory to read the reference books, then you have failed as a filmmaker. The presence of Mr Swapankumar is so irritating that you would want to skip his portion instantly. I was waiting for this film to arrive in Hoichoi, but I was so deeply disappointed. This type of films make me lose my faith in Kolkata films.

My Review of #ShriSwapankumarerBadamiHyenarKobole ::: Direction by #DebaloyBhattacharya is fairly good. His storytelling narrative is not intriguing, but his shot-taking style is very fresh. Dialogues are superbly penned. Many scenes and shots resemble his previous films, specially #DraculaSir.

Cinematography by #RamyadeepSaha is of first order. Marvellous would be an understatement. Editing by #SanglapBhowmick is very slow paced, just like the screenplay. So, the audience tends to get bored very soon. Music by #AmitChatterjee is fresh to the ear, but not hummable enough. But the song 'Mushroom' is well-composed. Production company #HoichoiStudios ( #Hoichoi ) & distribution by #ShreeVenkateshFilms ( #SVF ) has made this venture saleable, but its Box Office glorious run is debatable.

As per as the performances are concerned, #AbirChatterjee as Dipak Chatterjee & #ParanBandopadhyay as Sri Swapankumar has tried their best to backup the poor screenplay with their screen presence by acting well.

#ShrutiDas as Tashi is not at all impressive and looked very dull and stiff in her dialogues delivery. #GoutamHalder as usual acted as a carbon copy in his signature style. #PratikDutta as Ratanlal is a new and fresh discovery and someone to watch out for. #LoknathDey is good. Last but definitely not the least, theatre & TV actress #SaoliBandopadhyay looked very confident and tried her best as much she can, in her few scenes. But her atrocious wig looked very poor on her. But overall, if you leave your brain, aptitude and logic at your home, and come to enjoy a #PulpFiction film based on a graphic novel chain of the similar genre, then you would surely gonna enjoy the film. One-Time watch or a Timepass 👍🏻
