Bulbbul (2020)
Another mediocre Netflix original
Let's start with the good points. The cinematography is good, use of lighting in both day and night scenes looked great. Production designing was excellent. Rahul Bose did good as the big brother but was not convincing enough as the younger brother. Tripti was the main star of the movie. All the nuance character layers were superbly done by her.
The script was poor. Writer didn't know where to put focus and how move forward with the story smoothly. Direction was very mediocre. Use of camera was very typical. And it was so predictable. As a movie, it doesn't test the intelligence of the audience at all.
Extraction (2020)
Forget portrayal, the film is poor anyway.
So, a lot of people in my country, Bangladesh, has been showing their hatred towards the film for a horrendous portrayal of Dhaka city. But let's just assume that it is a fictional Dhaka. Let's talk about the actual film.
The script is so poor, the movie was going to no where. Character development is so bad. We don't see anything that would help us to connect to the main character throughout the movie. The direction is soo bad (Except for the action scenes)
Director used the camera as mere capturing device. Even in an emotional scene, there was no camera work that would be visual storytelling.
Chris Hemsworth acting was so bad in this movie. He just had one or two expressions, and he carried them all along. No effort.
But kudos for the character played by Randeep Hooda. His character was better written than others and he acted so well. Way better than Chris.
There are people who are saying atleast the action is good. Yes, I agree. But movies are not only about action scenes. There's a reason why the universe of Cinema is so gigantic. You have no right to ridicule that grandness just by saying "Atleast the action scenes are good"
Dwitiyo Purush (2020)
Stupid ending, not expected from Srijit
Lack of coherence aside, I was actually enjoying the movie. It was going good, not great. But at the end, everything was ruined with a complete rewrite of the character. It's super dumb way to do a plot twist
