Gora

An atypical murder mystery, a lunatic intellectual with his devoted deputy and a woman with a medical history of sleepwalking; together they formulate this flawed yet amusing detective story, that I'm certain would be applauded by many.

Albeit very much akin to Hoichoi's earlier ventures; the commitments and the urgency shown by the makers should be celebrated anyway. A sincere attempt at doing something along the lines of contemporary investigative dramas; while at the same time, stipulating some of their subjective originality here and there.

One of them is the affluent depiction of Gora aka Gourav Sen; a half-mad individual with an intellectual psyche. An effortless portrayal by Ritwick Chakraborty, who indeed deserves every possible compliment that comes his way.

Suhotra Mukhopadhyay as his loyal assistant Sarathi gets the job done as well. Ishaa Saha, on the other end, did all she could in her short-tenured screen time, but I must say, her part of the story doesn't carry too much weight. In all honesty, it all felt too far-fetched and insignificant.

So to conclude; I would say, despite a very much run-of-the-mill narration and the same old caricaturish humour; it's been quite successful in delivering just the right amount of uncertainty and thrill. Nothing unprecedented, yet a satisfactory outcome nevertheless!
