Raktabeej

Film Review: Bengali Film Raktabeej streaming on Hoichoi!!

Based on the Burdwan blast in West Bengal, Raktabeej is a gripping political thriller by director duo Nandita Roy - Shiboprasad Mukherjee.

Victor Banerjee , who plays the President of India ( has a strong resemblance to Pranab Mukherjee) who has rejected a mercy petition which leads to hanging of a terrorist ( Afzal Guru ) is due to return to his hometown for Durga Puja .

Meanwhile a blast in an illegal fireworks factory in the remote village of Khoyragarh is more than what it seems and is linked to a sinister & audacious plot to assassinate the President . No one can be trusted as there might be insiders involved in the conspiracy.

It is up to police officers Abir Chatterjee & Mimi Chakraborty to piece together the clues and prevent the tragedy.

The script is tight , narrative-fast paced which makes it an edge of the seat political thriller . The songs too compliment the storyline perfectly.

Special mention for the chemistry between veteran actor Victor Banerjee & Anashua Majumder ( who plays the President's elder sister) . Their bond has been very well portrayed. Abir Chatterjee is brilliant as usual . Mimi Chakraborty has a role on par with Abir. Their banter, nok-jhok throughout the film is pleasing to watch. Grt camaraderie indeed. Kanchan Mallick as the local investigating officer steals the show with his funny one-liners which will make u laugh out loud for sure. There are others in the cast who also lend strong support to the main cast !!

There is an interesting cameo by Ankush Hazra and a male item no. Too !!

The climax has been brilliantly conceived & the final reveal is well worth the wait !!

The sheer deviousness of human nature will surely send a chill down ur spine!!

The ending has been kept open for a sequel !! Waiting eagerly for it !! Shonada ( Abir 😊) we love u !!

Going with 3.5/5 for this one .. Adios 🙂!!

When you obsessed with similar types of movies and try to taste a new flavor of movie.... then suddenly a movie came from old genra and silently stars blowing everyone's heart' ... this movie perfectly matches with those words.

The movie starts with a minor criminal activity and cops, and gradually become greater. This is a festival time movie which shows authentic events of durga puja. Home coming of a man. The chemistry between a brother and sister is shown perfectly. The rich bengal culture is shown here it will make you amaze. Also there is some spices of conflicts of central and state police and then becoming a team. Also little bit love chemistry is there but not too much as it's a life action movie. Which shows a fine direction of a director.

As this is a action, thriller, and festive drama movie.. every character is important here.. casting is absolutely awesome. Every cine is very important here. So go with some one or alone 🙂 it will make you feel amazing.

#Raktabeej : Fabulous Cinematography, Crisp Editing, Fantabulous Music & Gripping Screenplay with a Superb Narrative Style, twists and turns till the end. #AbirChatterjee, #MimiChakraborty, #DebasishMondal and #UmaBanerjee stole the show eclipsing others, even #VictorBanerjee and #AnasuaMajumdar. #KanchanMallick, #ParometaMukherjee & #DevlinaKumar has their moments though. #MaulikGhosh needs to be praised with special mention. But #SatyamBhattacharya, #KanchanMallick, #SubhaRanjanMukherjee & #AmbarishBhattacharya has been a miscasted and wasted as a whole. But #TanusreeShankar has her presence amply felt in her brief cameo, just because of the character of whom she has played ... #AnkushHazra has his moments in the foot-tapping item number ( and may be many more which u had to check out urself ). Well, must say, it has got one of the best Climax sequence ever in the recent Bengali films been shot. Kudos to the director duo #NanditaRoy & #ShiboprosadMukherjee and co-writer #ZiniaSen for making a such a brilliant and well-made, social-awareness and relevant Film. Indeed it will attract repeat audiences too. A must-watch this puja. It is a perfect Puja Film and truly a Game-Changer.

Today I watched 'Raktabeej' movie with my family. For those who want to watch this movie during Pujo, please go and watch the movie with the whole family... Nandita-Siboprasad directors duo has given us such a wonderful movie named Raktabeej. In one word it is 'amazing'. It is in line with the reality, And what about Victor Banerjee? He is just "wow" There was no turning back. Every character in the movie gives their all and made the movie real.

Everything you need to watch a movie is in this movie, now the question is why should you go to see Raktabeej?

Number one: Casting of the movie. The artists who worked in this movie. From child artistes to famous artists, everyone's work was amazing.

Number two, you can confidently say that you have never seen this kind of Bengali movie before, leaving the cinema hall.

Number Three: The amazing songs of the movie touched the hearts of the audience. Like "Govinda Daanth Majena"...the young generation started dancing in the theaters when the song started.

Number four: The action in this movie is really good. There is no excess in the action. The subject matter is presented very nicely. The action was presented very nicely.

Plus you get Kanchan Mallick..the job of making you laugh beautifully at times, he does it expertly.

And talking about the climax...couldn't believe your eyes at the end. I felt breathless...you can't expect what's going to happen.. Where the movie reaches at the end...must know. Book tickets and watch the movie in theaters...'Raktabeej' will not disappoint you.

Raktabeej is a movie based on true incident. This is not just a movie which you watch and forget! This movie is not like any other film but something that brings out a mixture of all emotions. You start living with the characters. The way they have blended their genre of showcasing emotions with the touch of thriller is absolutely outstanding. They very well understood the term Audience's pulse when it came to taking up this risk of creating something outside their genre. This movie is really something that brought about the best climax. I must say that after Muktodhara and Gotro, it is one of their best creations ever.
