Anirudha Roy chowdhury is well known for his urban complex love story which we have seen in Aparajita Tumi. This film he made a 360 degree turn. In this movie there is thrill, every character is playing their game and the game plan changes for each character in the family. Amal a simple honest man who waits for his chance to secure a better life. He cries when he visit his home in Bangladesh, get restless and never looses his simplicity in the whole journey. The other characters which are Amal's Boudi(Sister-in-law) whose presence makes you believe the small aspiration that lady of the house feels. Rijula a lady completely bounded by lust for money which is reflected in her eyes and body language and last not the least Sohag college crush of Amal who savors the moment and scares everyday as she succumbs to cancer every day.

All in all Buno Haansh is a must watch Bengali film as it explores the another paradigm of Bengali movie.

A must watch! Dev has given another powerful performance as the central character and silenced his critiques yet again. Not sure how long the intellectuals can go on ignoring his talents! Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's direction is outstanding. The thrilling story is based on Samaresh Mazumdar's novel, - it is the gripping story of Amal - a simple man, born into a poor family who works as a security guard at a mall. He gets tempted by the world of wealth and lust and lives his ordinary life to join the underworld, and gradually gets trapped into the world of greed and crime. All the supporting casts - Srabanti, Tanusree Chakraborty, Sohag Sen, Sudiptaa Chakraborty, Moon Moon Sen have performed their acts exceptionally well. The music and songs have matched the situations perfectly. Shantanu Moitra along with Anindya and Chandril and other singers have done wonders. Specially I was in love with the song - "Zindagi kahin bhi thamti nahin (Life never stops anywhere), " Overall 4.5/5 from me.

In Buno Haansh actor Dev has come a lot ahead than the days of challenge,yet i have some doubt over his skill in dialog delivery which is visible in parts of the movie.DoP did a great job in the movie,as the cultures of three different cities Dhaka,Bangkok and Kolkata has come alive.Score from Santanu Moitra is not something to remember coming out of the hall and it has failed to create suspense anywhere in the movie. What the film really lacks i feel is suspense.Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury has tried to mix thrill of chase with grief of losing loved and dear ones.The viewer is never forced to sit tight and shiver in tension about what is going to happen next moment.Though the film had great potential it lacks the x-factor to be remembered after years.However it is surely best Bengali movie of 2014.

I had read Samaresh Majumdar's novel Buno Haansh before watching the movie, so i had expectations from it, but i was a bit hesitant as i did not trust Dev's dialog delivery and acting, but i am happy to say he has pulled off a difficult role brilliantly, he was not perfect but was much much better than his previous movies and has acted really well in this one looking innocent and confused as Amol, the main character. It will surely be one of the highlights of his career and he has the potential. Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury has made a detailed movie with a soul, keeping the thrill elements intact. All the other characters are perfectly cast but Sudipta Chakraborty's act is the standout. The background score and music by Shantanu Moitra are great as always. Buno Haansh and Dev's act is surely one of the best this year.

Finally I watched it..it takes almost 10 years to come over to this perticular dev movie. After watching this..now I can say it's actually ahead of its time..all the performances are great..i actually shocked after realising that this movie shot at real locations..the bgms of this movie are perfect. Firstly it makes you emotional and then the thrill takes you to the end and leave you with an unsatisfactory ending..the editing..the screenplay all are great..never thought this movie can be that good in cinematography..i am a little bit unsatisfied with the ending of the story..the twists and turns engaged you all the time..you never bored..it you are a Bengali movie lover then you should give it a watch. That's it..
