A packed theatre on a Friday the 13th night in Bengaluru screening the Oriya film "Bou Buttu Bhuta" is nothing short of a 'wow' moment.
The hope for a truly great Oriya film has often ended in disappointment, leaving movie lovers feeling overshadowed by other regional industries. In conversations about cinema, Oriya voices have often had little to contribute. Now, with this film, Ollywood isn't just whispering-it's beginning to roar.
No Spoilers - Just a Few Highlights from the Buzz in Ollywood
Story Telling - One of the standout reasons Bou Buttu Bhuta resonates so deeply with audiences is its storytelling. Great cinema always begins with a compelling narrative, and this film delivers, thanks to the brilliance of Jagadish Mishra. A true maverick in Ollywood, Mishra steps outside the conventional box while still staying rooted in what defines an Oriya film. Complementing this vision is Mohammad Imran's exceptional screenplay, which adds depth and nuance to the narrative.
He masterfully weaves in elements that are quintessentially Odia- folklore, spirit, family disputes, khati (casual hangouts), puja chanda (festival donations), and even mutton-which, interestingly, might serve as a metaphor. These cultural touchpoints aren't just background-they're the soul of the story, making it both authentic and relatable. Cinematographer Rudrakanta Singh deserves special credit for beautifully capturing the natural essence of Odisha, bringing its landscapes to life with remarkable authenticity.
Character Building - A Refreshing Surprise
One of the most delightful surprises in Bou Buttu Bhuta is its character development. For the first time in a long while, the characters feel genuinely believable and engaging. Within just 30 minutes, the audience finds themselves emotionally invested-rooting for Babushan or Aparajita Maam to succeed.
Whether it's hoping they catch more fish in their metaphorical pond, triumph over a cunning cousin, win a complicated love, or simply escape a chaotic crowd despite his own wrong doing-the characters evoke real empathy. The director succeeds brilliantly here, crafting a fictional world so compelling that viewers are not just watching-they're cheering, feeling, and living every moment of "Bou Buttu Bhuta".
Runtime & Pacing - A Bold Choice That Pays Off
At 2 hours and 56 minutes, Bou Buttu Bhuta may seem lengthy by today's standards, and some might argue that trimming 20-25 minutes could have made it tighter. But I respectfully disagree. The film holds your attention throughout-every scene feels purposeful, and there's hardly a dull moment.
While some may have expected more of Babushan's eccentric flair, the director chose a more subtle portrayal, aligning with the film's thriller tone rather than leaning into horror. It's a creative decision that adds depth and keeps the suspense alive, proving that sometimes restraint can be more powerful than excess.
Background Score - A Rare Treat in Ollywood
The background music by Rudranarayan Malik in Bou Buttu Bhuta stands out as a refreshing change for Ollywood, where such attention to sound design is not always the norm. While the score leans a bit loud at times, it effectively elevates the emotion and intensity of nearly every scene-hitting the mark about 95% of the time.
It's a bold and welcome move that adds cinematic depth, proving that sound can be just as powerful as visuals in storytelling.
Performances - A Stellar Ensemble
Bou (Aparajita Maam): A class act as always, Aparajita delivers a performance that's both powerful and unexpected. Known for her charm and grace, seeing her portray an exorcist adds a shock value-and she absolutely exceeds expectations. The role gave her ample scope to showcase her range, and she made every moment count.
Buttu (Babushan): Babushan brings a natural ease to the screen. His restrained performance aligns perfectly with the script's demands, proving once again that subtlety can be just as impactful as intensity.
Bhuta: The portrayal of Bhuta deserves special mention. The character's eccentricities are thrilling, chilling, and downright haunting. Words fall short in capturing the sheer skill and presence brought to this role-it's a performance that lingers long after the credits roll.
It's also refreshing to see new faces-especially Mandakini Jena-(hauntingly powerful performance), breaking the monotony of recycled talent and adding a fresh layer of authenticity to the film.
And Finally - Jagadish Mishra, Take a Bow
Jagadish Mishra has truly redefined the filmmaking landscape of Ollywood. With Bou Buttu Bhuta, he breaks away from the clichés-no longer is the Odisha is confined to dhoti-clad villagers and Jaga. Instead, we see characters who speak naturally, live authentically, and reflect the evolving spirit of Odisha.
The closest parallel I can draw is Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai-a film that marked a turning point in Bollywood. Similarly, Bou Buttu Bhuta feels like a stepping stone to a new era in Odia cinema-one that speaks to the heart of the Odia audience and promises much more to come.
