Successfully integrated family drama with massy elements with proper balancing. It's a hat-trick for Dev & Arijit Sen combo after Tonic & Projapati. They have understood the pulse of Bengali family audience properly.
I loved the vibe of the movie. It's very heartwarming, entertaining, thought-provoking and engages the audience. Someone called it Bengal's Jawan, and I mostly agree with it. A Bengali big film that talks about politics came after a long time. The anti-corruption and anti-scam elements are very relevant that will resonate with audience in a powerful manner. The drama portions are strong and builds tension properly. The interval block gave me goosebumps. The dialoguebaazi was kinda cool too. The comedy scenes brings a smile on your face.
Pradhan is packed with acting powerhouses, everyone gave strong performances, but Dev & Anirban are the main pillars. Dev is very comfortable in this role, one can tell he enjoyed having shades of his commercial avatar. Anirban Chakrabarti was fantastic, you will hate his character very much. The others were given proper space too & everyone's character arc interlinked with each other properly.
Overall I must say I am impressed with the movie and kudos to Dev for talking about politics in spite of being in politics himself. This partnership of Dev & Avijit Sen has become one of the biggest ones in Bengal right now.
