Borbaad Bengali Movie

Feature Film | 2014 | A
Critics:
Newcomer for a film. Story from a Tamil film. Innocent love and passionate punches. Isn't this the hit formula for a film? It is. Unless it's Borbaad.

Dhanush in Polladhavan is exceptional. He is innocently charming and steals the show with his simplicity on screen. Cut to Borbaad, introducing Bonny Sengupta. Is he the Dhanush in the making? Not really. And someone should tell this to Mr. Raj Chakraborty. Just similarity in physical attributes and looks to some extent, can't make for a good actor you see.


Raj Chakraborty, the master of official remakes fails with cast his spell this time with Borbaad. Even though it is an accepted truth that his works are remakes, but we have always waited eagerly for his craft. We have carefully and patiently cared for the moment when we could just see Chakraborty weave his own little touch to the story or the screenplay. Borbaad stands nowhere near that.


Joy (Bonny Sengupta) is a middle class, youngster. His heart beats for his lady and his mind is only full of love. He takes life with ease and enjoys the moments when he can do little things to please his girlfriend. Bike races, adda and running behind his ladylove are part of his daily carefree routine. In between everything, suddenly Joy finds himself getting involved with a drug dealer. A fatal turn of events and an eventual series of twists and turns move the story forward. Unlike the Tamil version, the Bengali version is more appropriate for the weak heart. The struggle that Joy encounters to fight for the truth, the action sequences are limited and do not come out actively. Love plays the central theme for Raj Chakraborty's Borbaad, our hero and heroine jumping around, holding hands and singing songs.


Watch Borbaad if you are a die-hard Raj Chakraborty fan. But others will be interestingly bored and would have no remarkable experience after watching.
