If this was meant to be a thriller I must say I was not too thrilled. Well definitely better directed than most of what gets churned out from the Bengali movie industry, it failed to live up to my expectations. And if I add the general gleanings from the conversations while the crowd broke up after the screening, I would say it disappointed many. Because this was meant to be a thriller I will not spill the beans, but the script could have been much better. There are so many characters who were unnecessary and only added to the flab the script could have done without. The movie was just too long and felt long. The film did not have a proper closure. If the director planned to leave it to the audience to complete it for themselves, I must say that for me it was more of a failure than an intellectual twist. Talking of intellectual overtures, the film is overdone with them, so much that it starts to jar. The investigating cops, with the sidekick habitually mispronouncing English words, were too similar to a duo from another franchisee, and in my opinion was in bad taste. Acting ranged from rather good from Sabyasachi and Gargi to acceptable in Abir and many of the minor characters to wanting in others. Music by Debajyoti Mishra was mostly good. Meghnadbadh Rahashya is definitely worth a watch. But if you go in expecting something very good, I am afraid you might be disappointed.
