Golpo Holeo Shotti (2014)

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

first of all i would like to say that this is my first review for IMDb.COM,,i have rated movies in the past but never wrote a review .i saw an evening screening of this movie last day,and ever since wanted to share my feelings about the movie.one more reason is i wanted to thank the director (birsa dasgupta) for not screwing up the remake of one of my favorite Tamil movie(pizza). so the story starts with rudra (soham) a pizza delivery boy at a local pizza joint and anu (mimi) his wannabe story writer girlfriend who live together happily till a new challenge turns their life which eventually leads to what happens in the movie.the start is fantastic,giving enough time to show the romance between the lead characters,and the build up to the suspense that we watch later and the ending is really the coolest.the acting is where most remakes fail, which makes it feel a caricature of the original,but over here scores the highest point in the movie. mimi is simply fantastic as the eccentric budding writer girlfriend. soham is equally good if not better than vijay sethputhy in the original,JUST LIKE THE ENTIRE MOVIE equally as good if not better than the original.the supporting cast is also quite good,rajatava deserves special mention in this.the other points where the movie scores are the paced editing,photography,which at times are much better than the southern counterpart and also the music.the movie never gives a sec to yawn or look away as most Indian horror /thriller movies do.the director and the story exactly knows where the movie is going rather than typically wasting time on romance and unnecessary song and dance like most do.this one also has few songs which were beautifully shot but once you are into getting scared there is no getting back. all in all lets just say its the scariest Bengali movie i have seen so far ,which delves into people's psychology and superstition,on which the entire plot relies on.so thank you for the effort to the whole team.i would rate this 8/10 .
