Raktabeej (2023)
A Best Bengali Thriller Movie
I am in love with Pankaj Singha aka Abir Chatterjee. Not only is he looking dapper in the film, he is every bit the investigating officer --- his heart and mind in place. It broke my heart to see him leave Bengal, it felt as if this is his workplace, this is his home, this is what he yearns for. I want to see more and more of him in the coming days, films etc etc.
I don't think Bengal has ever produced content like this --- so real, so hard-hitting yet so entertaining and without one single dull moment. Finally, we are maturing as a film industry and delivering contents that are on a par with any national OTT. Will want to see more of this police team and a franchise should be built around it.
Durr Bakachand. That's the latest addition to my dictionary and also a current favourite. How intelligently the makers have woven this word into the script and I am amazed by how many times and how differently each time this word has been used in the film, without offending anyone. From sweet to bitter, angry to loving, this word has had different connotations everywhere it has been used.
It's a completely new story in the backdrop of Bengal. I have never heard of such a story, never saw it on the screens here. It has the promise of the best on OTT and that of an entertainer in theatres. I was transported to a different world while watching Raktabeej. I was also moved to tears to see the family bonding between the Rashtrapati and his sister and their contribution in the lives of others.
