Kolkata Chalantika

From everything I heard about this film, what I expected from this film was a small comedy film that plays in the safe zone of a Bengali Industry. But I was wrong. Even though it does what the best of Bengali film does, which is giving a class film with emotions that will make you so attached to it and at least at one point makes your eyes wet, this film does that with a vision and finesse that is somewhat still fresh.

From the beginning itself, it started showing a bit of comedy and a bit of tragedy without belittling each other's presence. From there to the various situations created, the slow reveal through the 150 minutes runtime to that beautiful ending, everything worked brilliantly. The ensemble cast was brilliant among which at least three of them brought out their best performances yet and each and everyone else fit perfectly in the film. Sourav was the one that impressed me the most being able to make me easily attach him and within seconds making me cry for him.

The finesse with which the movie changes from a party comedy to family drama and back is commendable. The on-point cinematography and editing along with the rest of what I mentioned before is just proof that debutant director Pavel knows exactly what and how to direct his story. This is one of the best directorial venture in Bengali in recent times and probably one of the best movie, not just in Bengali, of 2022.

Technical department have done their job well and story and screenplay department have made those efforts resulting into a peak level. I really appreciate the writers of this film are. It is not just a usual y thriller with a many of emotional contents. I am very satisfied with this film. I would suggest you to go for Kolkata Chalantika. It is a brilliant film with a brilliant story from a talented director Pavel. This film will be Big success in the coming days just like commercial entertainers. The performance of whole cast was simply superb. Given the brilliant filmmaking & non-linear narrative trick, it could have been a far better entertainer.

After a long time i heard burst of Claps continuously in theatres.. Pavel just rocked it..every scene of him was Outstanding. Even in comedy scenes when we feel a little emotional next scene just make us think..The new gen actors did pretty well, didnt expect such a smooth performance from them.

There is a slight lag during the start of second half which is forgivable. Overall a good movie with lots of Realistic movie suitable for viewing with family as well as friend. Its a must watch..Dont miss it in theatres. Thanks to entire team of d movie for such a fun packed entertainment... Must watch.

Watched a movie in theatre after a very long time and no regrets in choosing d movie..

First half was enjoyable, but story became disappointing in second half. Very poor imotional build up. Not a single scene after bridge collapse you'll feel sympathy for any of those characters. Most horrible twist is with Kiran Dutta's character. I don't know why director twisted it like this, but this is the most horribly written twist I've ever seen in a movie theatre. That twist literally killed all emotions for that film. In end suddenly all corrupt people becaming honest was not necessary and seems unrealistic. Director have utilised good actors less. Two characters who died in bridge collapse, doesn't get 2min screentime before they died, related people's sadness also get less than 2min screentime. A women who lives in road under a bridge spend a night in police station for women sefety- really?

I've seen all Pavel movies before, only this one I feel not worth watching in movie theatre.

I can only tell that the hatred this movie is getting is not by the ones who watched the movie but ones who didn't even watch it. But actually this movie is a masterpiece and deserves to be a masterpiece with lots and lots of positive talks. Since I loved this movie with my whole heart.

If you are thinking of going to this movie by analyzing these comments then you should definitely ignore the hatred ones.

An classic story with enough twists and a good message Director . Story very well worth watching pavel nailed it.

Dont miss it on theatres. Its a family must watch. A clean and realistic drama. Just go for it!
