Good one time watch
Positives:
1. R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh's chemistry was good and suited the story, which revolves around a 42-year-old unmarried man. The rest of the film builds on their chemistry.
2. I can say the dialogues were at least good, especially the Bengali accent-not like the recent horror films I've seen. They preserved the essence of the words and emotions in a simple way, which didn't sound bad at all.
3. The visuals and cinematography are the third-best aspect. They are beautifully captured. The camera angles and the old charm of Kolkata are used perfectly. It looks authentic and leaves a strong impact throughout the film.
4. Songs.
5. Background score (BGM).
Negatives:
1. Weak screenplay. Even though the duration was short, I stayed hooked only because of the three positives mentioned above.
2. Weak story. It tries to teach something but fails, as the narrative doesn't stick to its point and keeps losing direction.
3. Poor use of side characters. Their integration into the story felt weak and unconvincing.
4. Weak comedy-more of a hit-or-miss case. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't even try to land the joke.
5. Weak ending. The film started on a good note, but the ending felt messy and lacked emotional depth. It left no real impact.
I was so excited for this film, but it turned out to be just average.
Rating: 5/10.
