Khadaan

See, first of all I won't claim this film as the best of the lot, but it was a honest approach to take us back to the 2008-15 period, and they did delivered on that..

The only suggestions I had that duration was bit short, I understand since it is a Commercial after a long time, makers were not sure whether the audience going to sit in the theater for more than 2:30 hr.. thus the speedy first half.

But above all of that you should watch it and Celebrate the film in this festive window if you are a Fan.

I hope the film reaches to a maximum number of audience, I can see the general audience are already celebrating the film, hope it grows even more.

Happy Watching !!!

This film depicts the war of power and friendship between two coal-mine workers and mafias of Damodar Valley, with some amazing action, twists & turns.

The story, co-screenplay, co-dialogues and direction by #SoojitRinoDutta is good. His narrative style is simple and linear mostly.

The story and screenplay is engaging. But some scenes were dragging at times.

#ShaileshAwashthi being the cinematographer steals the show. It is of high order.

#MdKalam's editing could have been crisper by 15 minutes or so.

Music Directors #RathijitBhattyacharya, #NilayanChatterjee & #Savvy has done a great job, specially the Kishori song. Other songs are peppy too.

As per the performances are concerned, #Dev and #JisshuSengupta has performed very well. #IdhikaPaul looked ravishing, #BarkhaBisht made a great comeback, but her dialect was not convincing enough as a colliery inhabitant. #AnirbanChakrabarti has yet again given a consistent performance. #ParthasarathiChakraborty tried to give a shade to his character resembling Nasser from Bahubali. #SnehaBose has not given proper space in the narrative. #JohnBhattacharya as Makhan has his fair share of antagonism but the narrative tends too predictable for smart audience for the main one and looked upon him as a puppet in the hands of the average screenplay. But he looked very fit, handsome and flaunted a killing persona. The other casts including Sumit Ganguly, Sujan Neel Mukherjee, Raja Dutta, Aayan Sohan, Biswajit Ghosh, Raima Pal, Debashis Nath had lent abled support.

Pradip Bhattacharya has his moments worth remembering and Jayshree Bose was endearing too, but her assassination scene was not justified when the other family members were abducted to the climax. Is it only because the latter were leads or what?

Production by #SurinderFilms & #DevEntertainmentVentures respectively of #NispalSingh & Dev along with distributor Surinder Films has made a mass popular film providing wholesome entertainment. 👍🏻

This movie is really a must watch in theatre.

I went in with little expectations and came out really amazed.

Dev Da has really shown his best in this movie, his acting seems on point!

Music×Action story of this film is all great.

All actors have done great..

This is the magic of filmmaking which takes you to the world of amazement, thats what i felt watching this in theatre!!

Movie also has social message in movies on few issues with todays society and those do make a huge impact on connecting with the cast.

This is a total family movie, no vulgarity at all

we would love to see more such collab between Dev Da × Jissu Da <3

Beginning of a new ERA !!!

Only Bengali film lovers will understand why Khadaan is so important. Directed by Soojit Dutta (Rino) and starring Dev, Jisshu U. Sengupta, Barkha Bisht, Idhika Paul, Anirban Chakraborty, Parthasarathi, Raja Dutta, and John Bhattacharyya, this film has left an indelible mark.

Dev delivers a tremendous performance in this mass entertainer. Once known for his charismatic screen presence and exceptional dance skills, he has now reached new heights in acting. Every time he appears on screen, the audience is filled with excitement. Jisshu Sengupta as the antagonist is a treat to watch, showcasing a nuanced portrayal of a baddy. Barkha Bisht and the supporting cast give their best performances, even with limited screen time.

The chemistry between Dev and Idhika is electrifying, leaving a lasting impression. Rathijit's background score is outstanding, and the songs have all become chartbusters. The screenplay is fast-paced, though it occasionally leaves the audience wishing for more depth in certain characters or scenes. Sailesh Awasthi's cinematography is top-notch, capturing every frame beautifully.

Overall, Khadaan is a fantastic watch, and fans are eagerly hoping for at least one mass film from Dev every year!
