Kakababur Protyaborton

It is not a movie at all. It's an adventure travel vlog. Wasted my money. Should have re watched Tonic or watch 8/12. Srijit is as usual nonsense. Saraswati Puja wasted. Now booked tickets for Tonic on Sunday to get me and my family refreshed and entertained.

Let me cut to the chase: Pros 1. Susoenseful scenes of danger involving wild animals 2. Anirban Chakrabarti's acting

Cons.

1. Shamless contextual advertising marring the plot 2. Too much reference to Feluda and Lalmohan Ganguly. Almost as if Srijit knew his Kakababu didnt have it in him to carry the entire script on his own shoulders and therefore the desperate attempt to cling on to a character that Bengalis would warm up to with 100 % certainty.

3. Hardly any whodunnit angle. The bad man revealed himself and solved the mystery for Kakababu 4. A sorry Kakababu (in Sunil Ganguly's manuscripts, where did the old man go to highlight his hair I wonder?) and a sorrier Shontu ( i expect a more cerebral looking fellow as Shontu. How about Riddhi in the next one?)

Overall a good watch but a slightly disappointing one. I have said this earlier about Srijit messing with famous Bengali literature. If you do take up the job of fliming originals penned by folks like Satyajit Ray or Sunil Ganguly, you got to live up to a certain standard. Else, just film stories of your own. You do a much better job with originals (dwitiyo purush notwithstanding).

Story has hardly any substance - should've been a 15 min movie. Rest is filled up with shots of African Safari. Just because the cast & crew spent money to shoot in Masai-mara, the audience has to sit through 1.5 hours of safari stuff which is better shown in National Geographic.

This movie show in svf really exceeds my expectation, The pop corn was good nachos was good, the recliner was wonderful. Overall had a great experience except the movie. I really recommend to watch this movie with your gf if do not get a chance to spend some quality time with your gf.

The movie is waste of time. One star for how Amal Dutta slapped Santu, and said," Next time behave appropriately with your elders". Excellent scene made my day.
