Raktabeej

Raktabeej is larger than life! Raktabeej is real! It is not just a movie but an encounter with the reality, where you get to re-live a shocking incident, that shook Bengal during the pujas, a few years back. Victor Banerjee's portrayal of Our late President Honourable Sri Pranab Mukherjee is utterly convincing. The terror is real! On the other hand, the joy of homecoming is real, too. The joy of meeting your sibling after a long time is real and the emotion of their bond touches you! And it is here that the directors have delivered the masterstroke! They have successfully retained the emotional aspects of their film, even while delivering an edge-of-the-seat thriller! Kudos! Raktabeej is a must-watch!!

Film Review: Bengali Film Raktabeej streaming on Hoichoi!!

Based on the Burdwan blast in West Bengal, Raktabeej is a gripping political thriller by director duo Nandita Roy - Shiboprasad Mukherjee.

Victor Banerjee , who plays the President of India ( has a strong resemblance to Pranab Mukherjee) who has rejected a mercy petition which leads to hanging of a terrorist ( Afzal Guru ) is due to return to his hometown for Durga Puja .

Meanwhile a blast in an illegal fireworks factory in the remote village of Khoyragarh is more than what it seems and is linked to a sinister & audacious plot to assassinate the President . No one can be trusted as there might be insiders involved in the conspiracy.

It is up to police officers Abir Chatterjee & Mimi Chakraborty to piece together the clues and prevent the tragedy.

The script is tight , narrative-fast paced which makes it an edge of the seat political thriller . The songs too compliment the storyline perfectly.

Special mention for the chemistry between veteran actor Victor Banerjee & Anashua Majumder ( who plays the President's elder sister) . Their bond has been very well portrayed. Abir Chatterjee is brilliant as usual . Mimi Chakraborty has a role on par with Abir. Their banter, nok-jhok throughout the film is pleasing to watch. Grt camaraderie indeed. Kanchan Mallick as the local investigating officer steals the show with his funny one-liners which will make u laugh out loud for sure. There are others in the cast who also lend strong support to the main cast !!

There is an interesting cameo by Ankush Hazra and a male item no. Too !!

The climax has been brilliantly conceived & the final reveal is well worth the wait !!

The sheer deviousness of human nature will surely send a chill down ur spine!!

The ending has been kept open for a sequel !! Waiting eagerly for it !! Shonada ( Abir 😊) we love u !!

Going with 3.5/5 for this one .. Adios 🙂!!

Mesmerized by her screen presence..😍 Hugely enjoyed #Raktabeej with family and friends.. Thank you team.. Here's to more ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and cheers! A film that merits re-watch at the theaters.. brilliant!

When you obsessed with similar types of movies and try to taste a new flavor of movie.... then suddenly a movie came from old genra and silently stars blowing everyone's heart' ... this movie perfectly matches with those words.

The movie starts with a minor criminal activity and cops, and gradually become greater. This is a festival time movie which shows authentic events of durga puja. Home coming of a man. The chemistry between a brother and sister is shown perfectly. The rich bengal culture is shown here it will make you amaze. Also there is some spices of conflicts of central and state police and then becoming a team. Also little bit love chemistry is there but not too much as it's a life action movie. Which shows a fine direction of a director.

As this is a action, thriller, and festive drama movie.. every character is important here.. casting is absolutely awesome. Every cine is very important here. So go with some one or alone 🙂 it will make you feel amazing.

Nandita and Shivprasad created the first cinema out of their family line. Can't be called a complete success. The script didn't have that strength. But they are completely successful in the message they tried to convey to the society.

Although the movie has no pace in the beginning, the pace of the movie increases with time.

But what is most commendable is that they have got good performances from unknown actors/actresses. Every song in the film is very good. Ankush's dance is very good. Performances of anonymous actors have attracted more attention than famous actors. When Ambrish was given so little space, some other new actor could have been given a chance.
