Mirza

A superbly shot ganglord film written & well-directed by #SumeetGoradia & #SaahilGoradia, perfectly-knit story & screenplay by #ArnabBhaumik, a superb and successful Production by #AnkushHazra, #AbirGupta & #ArkadebUkil. The overall looks of the cast is amazing, along with the incredible performances of Dancing Superstar Ankush Hazra, #OindrilaSen, auteur #KaushikGanguly, #RishiKaushik, #PriyaMondal, #ShoaibKabeer, #ShantilalMukherjee, #SankarDebnath, #SumitGanguly ( cameo ), #KunalBhandari, #RatanSarkhel, #RajatGanguly, #BiswaroopBiswas and the adorable #RyanGuhaNeogi along with others.

Cinematography by the wizard #AnimeshGhorui is superb with sharp editing by #SanglapBhaumik, but it could have been 15 mins crisper. Music by #IshanMitra & #AneekDhar is superb and worth-humming.

With lots of Twists and Turns and an interesting cameo epilogue ( will not give any spoilers ), Production company #AnkushHazraMotionPictures & distributor #PVRInoxPictures will surely incur huge profit, because this film is technically very well-made, stylish and honestly shot. The efforts invested are visible. Kudos!👍🏻 A Must-Watch Commercial Film not to be missed 👍🏻🍫

My Rating --- 8/10.

Looking at the sorry state of the Bengali commercial scene and taking the scarcity of mainstream cinema into consideration, 'Mirza' does come across as a devoted attempt, a naive effort to bring the masses back into the theater.

However, mass entertainers need more than ambition; they mandate proper vision, mass sensibility, and, above all, an effective script to aid in their cause.

"Mirza" regrettably lacked in all these aspects.

The biggest blunder they did was to reveal every twist and turn in the trailer, thereby diminishing all plausible scopes to blow audiences' minds and grab onto their attention. It indisputably had the style and the swag but faltered heavily on character backstories and emotions.

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.

Mirza Part 1 presents a cinematic experience that, while commendable in its direction, falls short in emotional depth and character development. Directed with finesse, the film lacks the necessary emotional resonance to fully engage its audience. Despite its promising premise, the story fails to evoke strong feelings, leaving viewers disconnected from the characters' journeys.

The pacing of the film is sluggish, with characters moving at a pace that feels lethargic rather than deliberate. This sluggishness detracts from the overall impact of the narrative, making it difficult for viewers to fully invest in the unfolding events.

Ankush's & Koushik Ganguly's performance, while not outright poor, fails to deliver the expected level of excellence. Their portrayal lacks the nuance and depth needed to breathe life into his character, resulting in a performance that feels lackluster compared to his previous work.

However, despite its shortcomings, Mirza Part 1 still offers moments of intrigue and visual splendor. The direction showcases a keen eye for detail, with beautifully crafted scenes that capture the essence of the story's setting. The cinematography is particularly noteworthy, capturing the mood and atmosphere of each scene with precision.

In conclusion, Mirza Part 1 is a film that warrants a single viewing, primarily for its strong direction and visual appeal. While the story may lack emotional resonance and the characters may move at a slow pace, the film still manages to deliver moments of intrigue and beauty. Koushik Ganguly's performance may not be his best, but it is serviceable within the context of the film. Overall, Mirza Part 1 is a one-time watch that offers glimpses of brilliance amidst its flaws.
