Asur riding on a shoulders of the strong storyline and scripts with having a love hate relationship trio by Jeet,Abir,Nusrat worth a watch.Everyone played their part quite convincingly and emote right. But for instance kigan turns into real jeet, the action hero,the profile that doesn't fit at all in the sense of hygiene and fitness of a alcoholic. Also there are few unanswered question. Overall it's nice film to watch.

A fitting tribute to the famous sculptor Sir Ramkinkar Baij. This movie is a relationship drama in the backdrop of the largest Durga idol of Deshbandhu park. The movie is a wonder to behold. Director Pavel builds the story carefully and intricately just to give an ending none expected. This is one of those movies which should have boasted of huge box office numbers, unfortunately it didn't happen due to the lack of audience who passionately watch Bangla Cinema. The movie has slight mistakes and loopholes but the tight screenplay and world class performances keep you engaged through out the film. This movie is a milestone in Bengali commercial cinema.

Watch it for the screenplay and Abir's performance. Jeet is such a huge star but his acting is below average

Amazing movie. Different style of cinematography to watch. Great direction!

The movie is worthy to be watched especially in this era of Bengali cinema where 80 to 90 percentage movies are the remake of South. The story is quite unique with a different kind of aspects of romance. A bit of thrilling moment is also there before the climax which makes the movie more exciting. Both Abir and Jeet have done some quiet fabulous acting. But specially Abir, he is outstanding on his job as much as he have done in any Byomkesh or Sona Da movie. He is just exceptional and does justice with his role. I just want to ask Jeet why he is wasting his talent by doing the commercial larger than life movies. I think he doesn't know what he could be capable of. But only the minus point in the movie is Nusrat. She got a good character to showcase her talent but could not justify with her acting. She just faded away between the two male leads. I was expecting something more from her. The music is also good. So overall the movie is worth to watch once.

Love triangle against the backdrop of Tallest Durga is really a unique concept.....Jeet as Kigan reminds us about great artist Ramkinkar Baij...Abir as Bodhi touches our heart, sometime he seems to be good and sometimes bad but everyone will just love him...Nusrat as Aditi is a surprise package...BGM by Bikram Ghosh is extra-ordinary... Climax is the biggest surprise

"Asur" exhibits an Artist's wicked mind and prevalent stubbornness for his creations. Along the path, neatly capturing the essence of Bengalis' beloved "Durga Puja" which leads us to an inadequate cessation.



Bengali films have come a long way. A new era has brought countless talented individuals to this ever growing industry. Being a Bengali myself, I'm proud of what they try to pursue in this venerable craft!

Asur proves that!

Made with sheer admiration for our culture, pulling deep strings within our practices, this sheds a light on our community for the global audience; who are unfamiliar with the traditions we highly possess. The camera work was key to that. Several scenic shots with some experimental ones as well; Pavel, the director has made sure to give his work of art a versatile treatment! With a comparatively grandeur scale, visuals are a treat indeed. Alongside with a melodious soundtrack that appeases your mind. Fitting so well with the ambience. A noteworthy core group of performances kept an otherwise slower screenplay up. Speciai mention must go to Abir & Jeet, both of them uphold their roles respectively.

Even with an abundance of positives, there are few flagrant errors. The usual cringe in the dialogues, at times bit too much corny for my taste! Pacing is inconsistent with huge dips in between. The relationships & the bond shown between our three leads left a large room for improvisation.

In conclusion, keeping aside these hindrances, it's a passionately made movie which defines our thousand years of culture. Albeit with the hidden potential, it should have gone further in terms of the narration.

Must watch movie. Nice character role play. Jeet , Abir , Nusrat everybody played great in this movie.

Asur means a demon . but in our daily life there is a Asur in every story. Who is the Asur , for knowing this you have to watch the full movie.

Good performance by Jeet ,Abir and Nusrat Poor CGI ,set and prosthetic Decent music 🎧 Overall story of the Movie is fresh and new, can be watched without any hasitation

The show is really nice. It has a different story and theme line. I would recommend everyone to watch it.

The movie is not good enough as i expected. Overall it'san average movie. Truly speaking, most of the actors could not give Their best as the character demands. Specially Jit. For me it's disappointing.

Crap of a movie. Just what you expect from Jeet. Loud acting, lude dialogues and messiah complex of Jeet. Any saving grace is Abir's acting.

An above average, carnage-driven Bengali drama. It has a very unique storyline. I would definitely recommend everyone to watch it

Asur',is a kind of masterpiece by Pavel after 'Rosogolla' . The script of the movie is such that it keeps you engaged throughout.This movie depicts a clear cut example of bengali art and culture. For people who say Jeet can't act should go and watch the film and Nusrat has also given a commendable performance.

Best film of JEET. His acting in this film is beyond any boundary. Pavel as director is bang on ! The first Bengali film of this decade is a masterpiece. I am pretty sure this will be a CULT. ABIR & NUSRAT also were brilliant. Hats off. 👌

After a long time feeling proud to being watch such as a Bengali movie like ASUR. What a concept by Pavel. Storyline of this movie is mind-blowing. The climax part of this movie surely done goosebumps to all.

Had good expectations from this movie but totally disappointed. Very bad and feeble storyline, bad direction, it's a bad movie . Wasted talents like Abir.

Nice Plot & Mindblowing Making.. Everyone Should Watch It...

This movie is worth a watch ! I am not a petdon who watches bengali movies tho i want to watch this and this has done excellent job ! The movie shows that the value of art and how people often don't recognize it !

A mind blowing movie by Pavel. What a script !!! Super BGM and top notch acting make this movie special. This movie will break all the record. Whole cinema hall done standing ovation after finishing the movie. Wow!!!

Great film . Jeet best work till date. Excellent dialogue excellent screenplay. Everyone done great job. After watching i can say pavel is a very good director. Song of the film are outstanding.

One & only highlights was jeet & Abir . Brilliantly portrayed . But nusrat was disgusting . Nice songs

Although I personally do not believe in classification of cinema but going by the popular notion, Asur is the new age Bengali mainstream cinema. And it is an excellent example of good film making. Right at the beginning of the new decade Asur makes an impact with the audience with a potent mix of reality and fiction in the backdrop of Durgapuja. Pavel's script, screenplay and direction is spot on. He is one director to look out for in this decade. Pavel scripted the lead characters well. Cinematography is superlative with the camera capturing the essence of Kolkata (from Academy to Maidan and bylanes) with aplomb. Excellent BGM by Bikram Ghosh. Songs are good. Jeet in a de-glam look of a eccentric artist gives a decent performance (thought I found him a bit over the top in few scenes.). Nusrat Jahan delivers her career best performance. Abir Chatterjee in a grey character steels the show. He delivers an excellent performance as a ruthless corporate leader on one hand and a loving father, deprived husband on the other. The film engages the audience till the climax. Although the climax is bit melodramatic but there are a few twists which the audience will enjoy. In all, Asur is a good watch with a strong concept that revolves around Bengali art, culture and heritage.
