Poor storyline, bad direction, unengaging plot creations
batabyalsunny14 July 2019
In one line, a very badly written and unnecessarily long script which Saswata's tremendous acting couldn't save. A copied or rather "inspired" concept of one's life as reality show from "The Trueman Show" was new to bengali movie but with a very bad execution. Though a huge number of people coming out of the hall are calling it a great success but according to me the rating will be 4/10.

World class concept 1st time in any bengali movie. This movie's main part is its script after that direction of the film is just awesome & cinematography of the movie is just speechless. Every frame of the movie is perfect. Edit & color are also to good. Actors are perfect on their job, Specially Saswata Chatterjee. Please go & watch the movie & support this beautiful movie

Not Just any Bengali Film
tuhinr-135261 July 2019
In this era of digital content, bengali movies have always been a lagggard. This movie isn't a typical bengali movie, the story is something that is "not copied", a fresh concept, this is the USP of the film. The Saswata/Sabyasachi duo is worth watching. If you like films that's out of the box, this one is for you. Please go ahead and support the work.

It's good to see that these works are being pushed upfront which showcases newcomers and their wonderful talent. May this trend continue forever.

Voyeurism and pop culture. Best bengali film of the year
Trisha12317 July 2019
I can confidently start by saying this IS the best Bengali film i have seen in last one or so years. Edge of the seat thriller. Not a single explosion or mindless action. A taut thriller with the theme of how our eyes are glued to the screens. Simple yet layered storyline. We are blown away in the theaters. Bengali films rarely reach this standard. This director will be the game changer of Indian cinema. Watch Network for the best experience

What an outstanding movie
manorian28 January 2020
This is my first film I have watched,which has been directed by Saptashwa. Knowing a bit about my director friend,and also being a freelance screenplay writer myself....I really feel proud of him for writing as well as directing such a wonderful Bengali movie. The entire storyline has been extremely well scripted and the cast chosen has been a really amazing one. Just that in between it becomes a little slow,to add a bit of relief to the audience.But the overall tempo of the movie is very decent.And nobody was knowing exactly how will things go in between and towards the end,which actually keeps the suspense high.

All in all a great work...might possibly bring about a lot of change in the Tollywood industry as well.

Will surely be looking foward to more of his upcoming films.

New benchmark in Bengali cinema
Ilora244516 July 2019
This is perhaps the BEST Bengali film that is made in decades. Just wow! What a film in international standards. Each and every scene is created with deft making and layers of allegory and social relevance. The film not only provides thrills but also food for thought for today's audience as to how they react to the things that are shown on Screens. Mindblowing film with top notch visuals and performance. The so called top directors of Bengali should see and level up. I couldn't believe that I am watching an independent film of such a great quality. Some minor reviews like Firstpost have given this film a cold shoulder thats why my expectation was less but later I realized that those reviews are themselves trash and biased. Happy to see there are people capable of making regional (read Bengali) films of this standard.

fabfeelrhythm13 July 2019
Awesome storyline and cinematography, Engaging plot, Relatable to life and people in general, Brilliant performances with a subtle hint of serenading music. A fine cinematic experience that skilfully renews one's stereotypical notions about Tollywood.

Thin line between life and cinema
andy_film20 April 2020
A strong sense of making, a brilliant idea. Such an originality after a long time in Bengali cinema. It makes you think deep to differentiate between reality and fiction. Thrilling and entertaining.

Brilliant - a mind-bending experience
samal224422 July 2019
NETWORK is a rare gem of a film in the history of Bengali films (and Indian films). Never have I seen such a mind-bending thriller where each scene is so thrilling that you never know what's going to happen next. The writing and direction are the best features of this film with a strong performance of the cast. It has a deeply rooted social message and I can only wait to watch it AGAIN.
