Anirban Bhattacharya's performance in this film is nothing short of exceptional. Every time he appears on screen, it's impossible to look away. His portrayal of these psychopathic narcissist characters has reached a level where it is genuinely unsettling.
Arna Mukhopadhyay, Sohini Sarkar and the rest of the cast also delivers truly brilliant performances.
The direction and choice of screenplay were exceptional. However, what truly stood out was the cinematography. The lighting in each scene is particularly noteworthy. The use of colour, shadows and lighting to create mood and tension is masterful.
The camera work introduces a fresh perspective to Bengali cinema. Anirban breaking the fourth wall is innovative and adds an intriguing layer to the storytelling. This approach, combined with the overall narrative style, offers a unique viewing experience that stands out in the realm of Bengali cinema. It is a bold move that pays off.
Despite the many positive aspects, there are a few criticisms. The most significant issue is the lack of clarity regarding Gogo's motive. This ambiguity leaves a somewhat sour taste. Although there was some hint, a more explicit exploration of his motivations would have added depth to his character and provided a more satisfying conclusion to the story. And at times, the dialogues sound cringe.
But overall, Anirban Bhattacharya's stellar performance, great acting of the supporting cast, excellent direction, and innovative cinematography all makes it a must-watch.
