Kakababur Protyaborton

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).

It is feel like I am watching national geography channel or discovery channel and 2nd thing is there is nothing like "Rohosyo Bhed" which we saw in other kakababu franchisee's means kakababu did not solve any mystery in this film .. so I would suggest don't waste your time to watch this film..just because it is a kakababu franchisee's and bumbada is there in the film.. that is why I am giving 3 stars.

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.

Srijit Mukherji's Africa traveling vlog. With lots of random wild animal shot for one hour and a plot of 15 minutes including Kakababu crew talking about Feluda for 1 hour 15 mins. Great content to upload on YouTube.

Kakababu Protyaborton is another dismal entry in Kakababu trilogy made by Srijit Mukherji. Pretty bad choice of story, but the director only wanted to showcase foreign locales. I'll give the positives (if any) and negatives down below -

Negatives - 1. The wooden performances from Prosenjit, Aryann, Srijit himself, and the extras. They just remembered the dialogue and read it like it is.

2. Distracting product placements from a biscuit ad to chocolate, even a cough syrup takes you out of the film.

3. The same drone shots. If you have watched Chander Pahar or Amazon Obhijan, the shots looks eerily similar to one another. Also the bland colour palate used in this kind of adventure movies is getting repetitive.

4. No true sense of adventure or mystery.

5. Background score and songs.

6. The tongue in cheek reference to Anirban Chakraborty being Jatayu (whom he played in Srijit's Feluda) is too many.

Positives -

1. Its the end of the series hopefully.

I really hope some better director with suitable actor adapts Kakababu in true sense and adapts the good stories which has thrills and doesn't need to focus on foreign location. Watch Sobuj Diper Raja instead or underrated Kakababu Here Gelen. Dare I say even Ek Tukro Chaand is better than this.
