Pariah Volume 1: Every Street Dog Has a Name

Brutal, honest and emotional- this film is a brilliant attempt at something new. I would have loved to see a stronger bond between the little black puppy and the protagonist but I think that's being saved for the later instalments. The grisly tone of the film perfectly depicts the plight that stray dogs go through. I myself feed them each night and I know the ordeals. I could see myself in the chainsaw-wielding, blood-soaked Lubdhak. It'd be amazing if the director can bring in Kaal Bhairav, Dharma and other elements from our shastras / pauranik kathas to this heady mix and make it all the more epic. Bibek Debroy's book Sarama would be a good repository to draw from. I loved how the director brought in the murky realism of Nabarun Bhattacharya (ode to his Bangla novel Lubdhak) and blended it with the gory aesthetic of Doga (the dog-faced vigilante from Raj Comics). Wonderful, wonderful attempt.

Bhairava is an avatar of Shiva. His blessings will be with the director. No matter what detractors may say.

First of all congratulations to Tathagata for presenting a commercial movie to the Bengali audience. But when Tathagata movie, I expected a touch of art from him. But disappointed.

Concept and storyline are good. Everyone's acting is good. Especially new faces. The most notable among them is Vikram's friend. He acted very fluently. Such actors should be given more opportunities. Hope to see Vikram more in commercial movies. It was very good to see Ambarish in a negative role. Many thanks to the director for removing him from the shell of the comedy and presenting him to the audience in a different role.

Cold room has a view it is made in very small scale. It could have been shot better. The VFX work is very poor.

Pariah (2024) is a Bengali action thriller that delves into the illegal dog trafficking trade in Kolkata. The film follows the journey of a reclusive man who discovers a cruel racket supplying stray dogs to North East India. Driven by a deep-seated love for animals, he embarks on a violent crusade to dismantle the criminal network and bring the perpetrators to justice.

The film is notable for its unflinching portrayal of violence and its unflinching exploration of the protagonist's descent into a world of brutality. The action sequences are intense and well-executed, showcasing the protagonist's transformation from a quiet observer to a ruthless vigilante. The film also features strong performances from the lead actors, particularly Vikram Chatterjee, who delivers a compelling performance as the conflicted protagonist.

However, Pariah is not without its flaws. The film's narrative occasionally veers into predictability, and some of the plot points feel contrived. Additionally, the film's graphic violence may not be suitable for all audiences.

Despite its shortcomings, Pariah remains a compelling and thought-provoking film that raises awareness about the plight of stray animals and the dangers of illegal wildlife trade. The film's powerful message and engaging action sequences make it a must-watch for fans of the genre.

In conclusion, Pariah (2024) is a gritty and intense action thriller that explores the dark underbelly of the illegal dog trafficking trade in Kolkata. While the film's narrative may not be entirely original, its strong performances, intense action sequences, and powerful message make it a worthwhile watch.

A disturbing movie about animals and humans who are overlooked. It has demonstrated how ignorance and egotism may plunge humanity and the natural world into peril.

We've been led to feel that obtaining something can be done and is acceptable, even if it means endangering other people's lives, by a combination of historical misconceptions and a great deal of irresponsibility.

Therefore, the government ought to prioritise developing the vegetarianism and vegetable industries rather than exterminating and consuming mammals (breastfeeding animals).

Animals that are stray need to have somewhere to stay, rest and live.

AN EXCELLENT MOVIE!

Fabulous, Awesome, Beautiful, Nice cringe movie. This movie is proof that how much hypocrites dog lover are becoming dangerous for others... Yes, according to the hypocrites dog lovers only street dog has a name. But what about other animals. I guess others being aren't animals at all. Only dogs are animals. And these kinds of mentality people are dangerous for the society. Just question them what about other animals. I am pretty sure, they haven't any answer about it. And yes, that's why only dogs have name. Others animals don't have any name. Because according to these hypocrites, dogs are 2nd most human species in the world....🤣🤣😂 And they're absolutely true about it. Dogs and other most of animals are becoming human day by day. But today's most human (Especially most of them) are becoming cruel, ruthless, careless, selfish, greedy, hypocrite etc etc.........
