Good movie. Definitely worth watching, particularly if you love old Kolkata history, rich culture and traditions. Product of a thorough research work on history of Bengal and long forgotten Bengali rites, rituals and heritage - all mashed up in a treasure hunt, right in the heart of the city of Kolkata - North Calcutta. Its like a Da Vinci Code set in Bengal instead of Europe. The riddles used in the movie are very well thought off and executed. There is area of improvement in smoothing some rough edges of the plot and making them a little more realistic. Also, overacting of the main conman and some supporting actors could have been avoided. Otherwise, good movie and far better than other recent treasure-hunt mystery Bengali movies of recent times!

Am I the only one who thought that the movie was an average one? I am sure, not! Went to the cinemas with lot of hope, seeing the overwhelming reviews. However was disappointed like anything. Can never compare this movie with Zero Dark Thirty or any other good Hollywood war movies. Unnecessary melodrama, lackluster dialogues, weak comedy (was not warranted at all in a movie like this) and unimpactful music delivered a failed attempt to create patriotism. Raazi and even The Ghazi Attack were way better and smarter modern day patriotic movies. Well, the emotional subject matter and good acting by some of the actors (specially the child actress) can be the only positives in this movie. Definitely not a worthy tribute to the martyrs of Uri. They deserve a much better homage! Jai Hind!

This is undoubtedly the worst movie by Srijit Mukherjee. Can't believe that this same director has given us great movies like "Baishe Srabon", "Hemlock Society" and "Chotuskon". In spite of great acting by almost all actors, the movie fails to create any impact. The emotional angle (a group of selfless people organised an off-schedule/premature festival to honor a terminally ill girl's last wish to see Kolkata Durga Pujo) which Srijit Mukherjee tried to exploit, failed big time. Very impractical direction, poor side plots, average dialogues and overall very immature script reigned supreme over good acting, music and cinematography. Hence the recipe failed.
