If you know the proverb "Old wine in a new Bottle" , this one best suits for this web series
As someone who has watched Ratsasan, the acclaimed Tamil crime thriller, I couldn't help but notice the glaring similarities between that film and this Bengali series. While the storyline may have been tweaked slightly, the essence - especially the climax - feels like a direct replica.
From the villain's appearance and attire to the underlying motive of revenge, everything mirrors Ratsasan to an almost uncomfortable degree. It's disheartening to see such a lack of originality, particularly in a genre that thrives on suspense and unpredictability.
It raises the question - why do some Bengali creators repeatedly resort to copying from other regional films? Bengali cinema has a rich legacy of creativity and storytelling, but choices like this do a disservice to that tradition. Instead of rehashing old plots, it would be refreshing to see original narratives that truly reflect the talent the industry is capable of.
A little more effort, and this could have been something truly gripping. Unfortunately, it ends up feeling like a missed opportunity.
