Janowar

After seeing the movie, the family with which it happened I am really feeling terrified about thinking there situation at that time.Acting level was really good,Actors / actresses have successfully highlighted the issue

This is based on a true insident, great work by the director and the whole custing. Such amazing work is rarely seen.

The concept was phenomenal. But it did not have any consequence. It just portrayed a gruesome incident. Should have had a proper ending. But the cast, cinematography was very appreciable. But it has some issue too. However I would recommend to watch this one and appreciate the work of the creators. I want more like this, actually better version of this type of dark movies in bangladeshi cinema.

'Janowar aka The Beast' is a harrowing portrayal of rape and murder, based on a true story happened last year in Bangladesh. We see and read these headlines almost regularly, but do we ever understand how much torture the victims endure? This movie made me feel like I was in the crime-scene witnessing nerve-wrecking abuse. The unbearable torture at times made me feel cry for the victims , may their soul Rest in Peace. Raihan Rafi, director, successfully visualizes the brutality. Taking the concept of a happy family house suddenly turned into life-and-death parade, he beautifully contrasted the two opposite tones with artistic measure. All the cast members gave the best performance they could. Seeing the performance of the villain, you will be convinced to think of them as the real criminal. Such raw animosity! I was particularly impressed with the screenplay, the way script was built-taking a simple story of violence and treating with non-linear pattern and flashbacks, creating elements of crime-thriller through sound and camera movement was astonishing. All those slo-mo montages where the departed souls cry out adds more to the raw nature of emotions. Aside from rape and murder, this movie points out one of the most sensitive issue in the coming-of -age era, the violence towards women, how the very lack of security and how we failed as a society to give protection to our women. On that note, this film acts as a powerful social commentary. "Janowar" is not a perfect movie by any means, there are some unnecessary repetition and gore scenes that could have been trimmed, some silly graphics in the end too. But still, this film is a milestone in BD industry It can't get any more real, a true sketch of violence.

This has shaken my belief in humanity...lost my sleep n have fear and hopelessness all arnd after watching this movie. Can exactly feel how the the police officer felt n acted at the end. Hope these criminals (not human) got what they deserved in real life.
