Movie: Mirza
"Mirza," helmed by debutant directors Sumit-Sahil, unfolds like a sluggish marathon, stretching over 2 hours and 45 minutes. The film opens with the entry scene of the main villain. Since then, every time he has appeared on screen, he has eaten only biriyani with cringe meaningless dialogues. The story revolves around a racket of new drug Chill Pill. The movie attempts to weave a tale of intrigue and suspense as narcotics control officer Kaustav pursues the top three drug lords: Sultan, Azhar, and Mirza. Sultan & his son Azhar smuggle the drug. The senior police officer Kaustav sets out to identify the key players involved. However, then an unknown guy Mirza comes into the field. Although makers are trying to hide the motive of the character Mirza, but actually the fails. Because everything was revealed in the cliche back story of an orphan.
The pacing feels akin to a slow-motion reel, with the screenplay emerging as the chief antagonist, sabotaging the entire cinematic experience. The storyline appears dated, reminiscent of Bollywood tropes from the '90s.
Despite Ankush's earnest attempts to exude charisma in every frame, his efforts fall flat, often overshadowed by inexplicable smoke effects. Kaushik Ganguly's portrayal of the main antagonist, Sultan, stands out amidst the mediocrity. Oindrila's presence adds a touch of credibility, but the talents of seasoned actor like Shankar Debnath are woefully underutilized. Rishi Kaushik's character feels like an afterthought, relegated to the sidelines amidst the chaos of the drug underworld. Shankar Debnath are woefully underutilized. The overdose of characters and the convoluted storyline make it difficult for audiences to stay engaged. However, the cameos fail to leave an impact.
The musical score fails to elevate the viewing experience, residing in the realm of below-average. Ankush's valiant efforts are squandered by subpar writing and direction, leaving audiences yearning for more substance and coherence. The lack of connectivity between the scenes further detracts from the overall viewing experience. Actually, The debutant director struggles to breathe life into the lackluster script. Despite commendable efforts in cinematography and action choreography, the director fails to create compelling dramatic moments that could have elevated the film. Finally come to the main point, should You Watch It? Unless you have a strong affinity for the lead actors or a penchant for formulaic thrillers, "Mirza" may not be worth your time and money.
