Abar Proloy

Lots of loopholes (expected I guess), cliched dialogues and absolutely similar fight sequences with people spinning around. After a couple of episodes, it just drags on. Thank god for the fast forward feature!

Paran could have had a much bigger role given his characters capabilities as seen in the previous Proloy. That would have made the storyline more interesting.

The side character actors have done well. But Saswata looks really old, out of shape and tired. If he has to play an action oriented hero, he should put in some effort to look the part.

This is a miserable attempt to cash in on the earlier Proloy which was really good.

Very much predictable from the beginning...inconsistent direction...Ritwik looks copied from Sacred Games 2...it's not a worth watching...And Raj Chakraborty does not belong to that level who can deliver a crime thriller in top notch level..lot to learn for Bengali film industry directors , how to direct a web series, story making...Saswata and Ritwik made a big mistake, actors of their calibre by doing such creepy web series that does not make any sense..Unnecessary slangs used in this series which was prominently used in older Proloy..and what is the purpose of doing nudity of those boys..lots to learn for Raj Chakraborty.

While watching this series, you might find that nearly everything seems right, yet leaves you unsatisfied. It's a puzzle of sorts, where something crucial seems to be missing, and the feeling lingers. Firstly, Saswata Chatterjee's appearance might disappoint. He seemed to be at his best in the prequel "Proloy," and even in movies he played the role of "Shabar Dashgupta." However, here, he appears aged and bulky, no longer fitting the role of Animesh Dutta perfectly. Many, including myself, have revisited the short clips from the "Proloy" movie countless times on platforms like Facebook and YouTube. Those moments still captivate us, pulling us back for repeated viewings. Regrettably, that same fire is noticeably absent in "Abar Proloy". Despite its attempts, the series struggles to rekindle the brilliance of the original "Proloy."

Moreover, the suspense that was once a hallmark is now lacking. The predictability starts right from the beginning, leaving no room for any genuine intrigue. For all its efforts, it fails to ensnare the audience's curiosity. On a positive note, I'm awarding it a 6-star rating for the extended screen time of the top stars of the Bengal Film Industry. Saswata Chatterjee, Paran Banerjee, and Ritwik Chakraborty continue to shine, making their presence enjoyable day after day. The ensemble cast includes other accomplished artists as well, yet the series falls short of harnessing even half of their potential.

'Abar Proloy' is a Crime Thriller series. This series based on 2013's bengali film 'Proloy'. If you haven't seen the film, that doesn't mean you can't understand this series. But looking at it may help you understand better.

Story, Screenplay and Direction by Raj Chakraborty. This is his first web series and he also hit the six. Separately talk about screenplay. The screenplay alone will make you watch the entire series. But the last episode could have been better. The unique background score have in this series. That sets it apart from the rest of the series.

Talking about performances, Saswata Chatterjee (Animesh Dutta), Ritwik Chakroborty (Shombhu Baba, Haru), Gourav Chakraborty (Kanu), Koushani Mukherjee (Mohini Ma, Moni) are the Lead Characters in this series. Saswata Chatterjee's acting is awesome. He has once again proved his acting skill. Ritwik Chakroborty's acting good as always. Gourav Chakraborty and Koushani Mukherjee acted in a fluent manner. The Supporting actors, Paran Bandopadhyay (Binod Bihari), Sohini Sengupta (Madhabi), June Malia (Indrani), Debasish Mondal (Bitan Mondal), Loknath Dey (Poritosh Sarkar), Sayoni Ghosh (Sampa) and others portray their character very well. However, the Young Actors (Hujja Members, teen Kanu, teen Haru, teen Moni and others) deserves a special mention for their strong performances.

Abar Proloy is a crime thriller series that follows the story of Animesh Dutta, a rogue Special Crime Branch officer who is sent to the Sundarbans to bust a women trafficking racket. The series is based on the 2013 Bengali film Proloy, and it is directed by Raj Chakraborty, who makes his web series debut with this project.

The screenplay is strong in the initial five episodes, as it does a good job of setting up the characters and the mystery. However, the series starts to lose steam in the later episodes, as the plot becomes increasingly predictable. The background score is excellent, and it helps to create a suspenseful and atmospheric tone.

The performances are all great, with Saswata Chatterjee giving a standout performance as Animesh Dutta. Ritwik Chakroborty, Gourav Chakraborty, and Koushani Mukherjee are also all excellent in their respective roles. The supporting actors are also very good, and they all help to bring the story to life.

The series does a good job of exploring the dark side of the Sundarbans, and it shows how the region can be a dangerous place for women and children. The series also touches on the issue of human trafficking, and it shows how this crime can have a devastating impact on its victims. The characters in the series are all well-developed, and they are all believable and relatable. The series is suspenseful and atmospheric, and it will keep you guessing.

One of the things that makes Abar Proloy stand out is its focus on the young actors. The gang members, who are a group of teenage boys who are forced into a life of crime, are all very memorable, and their performances are both heartbreaking and inspiring. The teenage versions of Kanu, Haru, and Moni are also very well-acted, and they help to add a sense of innocence and hope to the story.

Abar Proloy is a solid crime thriller series with some great performances. However, the predictability of the plot and the slow pacing in the later episodes prevent it from being truly outstanding. Still, it is worth a watch for fans of the genre.
