Bony is a missed potential because of the promise it evokes from the beginning. The film starts well ,the sequence of the events seems believable,it doesn't overdo anything,the characters behave rationally in the first half. The landslide begins in the second act ,where audience intelligence are completely butchered by atrocious writing.
The main problem with the film that it is aiming for happy crowd pleasing ending. These type of approaches have ruined several films before and 'Bony" adds to the list.
The story of the same name was written by Shirshendu Mukhopadhay thirty years ago,kudos to the man for taking such a unique concept to write. If the story wasn't there the film would have been more worse. The story has helped the film to maintain its rationality in the beginning but when the film deviates from it's source it fails miserably. Koel Mallick's performance is very good,her role as a mother has been perfect and that's unarguably the best part of the film. Paramabrata Chattopadhyay's performance is surprisingly half baked,he seems distracted form the role. Kanchan Mallick's comic timings has been used well in the film and his scenes were at least enjoyable. In Bengali films,the casting of pathetic foreign actors has been a habit and in this film that issue is not solved. Their scenes seems so off putting.
The action sequences are horrible and the overbearing music during those scenes make those scenes more miserable. In some moments,the visual effects are good considering the budget.
60/100.
