Pabar seemed to be like a political movie which was supposed to explore the nitty gritty of village level politics, but what it served to us was a very ordinary and simple storyline that ended in a happy note. Although it's based on a true story of what I've come to know, but more efforts on the script could have explored the village politics in depth which would've been amazing. We need better stories so that OTTs like Netflix would be interested to buy our movies. It's been 2 years but still we aren't able to find Daman movie anywhere despite it being a hit movie. Acting performance could be improved more.

1. PERFORMANCES BY ACTORS & DIRECTION : Babushan as a lead actor had never disappointed his supporters, but in this film his performance was not as powerful as it should be . Elina's performance was spot on, she was really fitting very well in her character. The other characters shown in the film were quite good such as the characters played by Krishna Kar , Udit Guru & Choudhury Jayaprakash etc . In my opinion Ashok pati has failed to leave an impact on the climax. The execution idea of the courtroom drama was really stupid . I mean which lawyer & judge does such stupid behaviour in a court??

2. AUTHENTICITY : I feel films like PABAR should be executed in such a way that the authenticity of the film plot won't be sacrificed. The entire team of the movie has taken this point very seriously and they have done a great job to maintain the authenticity of the film from location to costume , crowd artist , the way of talking everything was spot on.

3. STORY: To revive the odia film industry, the story should be the main hero of a film . In this film the story was very average. No extraordinary story is shown in the film. Very predictable story with mild twist and turn( the suicide, newspaper reading, engagement of lead these are the twists you'll see in the story & that's it) .

4. SONG: The songs in the film were not so entertaining and memorable. Only lal taha taha song hit my mind and I'm still murmuring it.

So, I'll say that this movie was a one time watch movie with a good social message .

Rating : 2.5/5.
