Byadh

The story telling, acting, cinematography, BGM and direction everything was very good. It is a very well execution of an unusual crime thriller story. Enjoyed the series a lot.

In principle, Abhirup Ghosh's "Byadh" is nothing short of a fascinating idea. It not only focuses on a delicate issue like Animal Cruelty, but it also indulges itself in various facets of Social Commentaries.

To define my impression in a single sentence; I would say, it is transient, undemanding yet very much sophisticated and refined. Mr Ghosh has been pretty stubborn about not wasting too much time on trivial stuff. He wanted to get into the business right from the opening, and such stern measures reflect in his execution as well.

Amidst many of his idealistic attributes, what always tends to impress is how methodically attentive he is when it comes to directing. From an assemblage of tempting imageries to such an incredible arrangement of Music; gotta admit, the technical aspects ooze conviction. Just goes to show, the artistic capacity this man has at his disposal.

Nevertheless, from a story perspective, as usual, there are indeed imperfections. For instance, the acting or more specifically the overall tonality of the same has largely been in line with soap opera affectations. It certainly is catered more towards the broader populace of Bengal than us (and by 'Us' I mean the more seasoned section of the audience).

If only you can look past the theatrics, you will get to experience a satisfactory outcome that had not only managed to incite the right kind of emotions but it also conjugated basic humour with cultural particularities, and that too in a simplistic manner!

One example or idea serves as the foundation for the whole series, which is inadequate for so many episodes. The storyline thus gets tedious and drawn out. The Naxalite movement and Maoism seem to be strongly despised. It was inappropriately generalized. I was also hoping for some more background on the two main characters. Instead of being made up of actual people, the police force and its personnel mirrored characters from comic books. They were quite casual in their behavior. The climactic scene could be more dramatic and eventful.

Other than that, the cinematography was great. Additionally, the sound effects were extremely good.

It is worth the while sitting through the whole series just for that monologue Kanai Das delivers in the last 10 mins of the last episode. How close to home was that!?

First of all ,I would like to clear one thing .This is not an edge of seat thriller but the uniqueness of this content Hooks its viewers .

In the acting department everyone has done a decent job. As usual Rajatava Dutta and Anirban Chakraborty are show stealers . Screenplay was good , editing could have been better ,bgm was decent . Drone shots of the greeneries are visual treat , colour grading is top notch . Overall a decent watch .
