Dabaru (2024)
Slipshod
A few days ago, Anurag Kashyap levels Bengali cinema 'Ghatiya' during his visit to Kolkata Film Festival. The maker of 'Dabaru' proved his point with responsibility. First of all this movie has no genre. I think the story inspired by Surya Sekhar Ganguly's life. But ... At least the story comes with so much cinematic potential, it's the treatment and execution that falter at ground level. It's mercilessly slaughtered by some shoddy writing and equally cringe-worthy execution of the script. Be it the unnecessary characters, so many unnecessary subplots or the lack of both depth - Pathikrit Basu's film is an absolute blunder. The film is a farce, as aptly proved by the laughter in theatres every single time a character threw a dialogue. 1st half was comparatively better, but 2nd half of the film blunder the whole story. Too much background music makes the film cheaper. There are a lot of good actors in this movie but awful direction and rubbish script and storyline make this movie spoil of time. This director should be requested from refraining from making any further movies.
Mirza: Part 1 - Joker (2024)
Dishonest Attempt to Copy Popular Films
Movie- Mirza
Well, there are gangsters in the city of Kolkata who eat biryani and say the Arabic meaning of their name to the deceased? They can kill people for their own needs, can it be called serial killing? Are they look like Shahrukh Khan from 'Raees'? Did you notice why all the gangsters belongs to Muslim community? Is it not a partiality? Ok, I consider all these things. When the movie begins with the iftar scene & after some days Holi comes, it shocked me a lot. WT* ...
The story is nothing but an orphan Mirza, who is a card player raised by a police officer, grows up & later joins the gang of drug racket to avenge the injustice done to his foster father. I think you can understand the most typical revenge template. In the meantime there is a suspicious fisher woman Muskan pretends to fall in love with Mirza. On the other side an ruthless NCB officer Kaustav is trying to catch the gang lord Sultan & his son Azhar. Mirza join hands with Sultan & gains their trust. When all arrangement are set to catch Mirza, it ends up with his betrayal for his own gang. Moreover it also revealed that Muskan is non other than an undercover cop. But before police can catch Sultan, Mirza finished him. When Kaustav arrests him he was ordered to free him without any logic. Actually there is no base of double game technique of Mirza.
According to an honest spectator, I feel very bored on the script. From the beginning, the movie is just cheesy with no honest attempt to tell a solid story. I can't go with the detailing because it may cause the spoiler, but it is the fact that every scene is so clumsy that one stumbles from one scene to the next. The most annoying thing is the dialogue of the movie. Children are talking so much nonsense that it is impossible to connect, the cops are so dumbed down in the vital moment that it's like watching a children's cartoon. As a newbie, the director's attempts fail because of such cheap screenplays. And for the whole two and a half hours, the same loud atmosphere rings so many times that the ears get stuck. Among the two songs, the love track 'Ghalib' alone is not bad to listen to but does not add any impact to the movie. Mirza's title song itself not a genuine one, also it can't provides new flavour in the movie. The first 15 minutes felt so irritating that I felt like passing out immediately. I was only there to see the cameo part. When I finally saw it, I realized that this was the worst part. Probably the makers are not movie buff, they only believe in gimik not in good filmmaking.
