Review of Mukhosh

Mukhosh (2021)
5/10
Cliched vengeance tale
17 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Mukhosh is an official remake of the Malayalam film 'Anjaam Pathiraa' (2020), and I haven't seen that yet, so this was supposed to be a 'new' story for me. Unfortunately, Mukhosh is a cliched vengeance tale that we've seen many times before and barely proffers us anything NEW. If you've watched enough crime-thrillers, you would guess the 'climax' from a mile before.

I didn't like the character of criminologist Kingshuk, played by Anirban Bhattacharya, at all. In the very first scene, he prophesies that this murderer has NO PERSONAL REASONS, but that's the complete opposite of what happened, and I sensed that was a dense scene. Even the way Anirban acted in the film was underwhelming at best; his wife seemed more interested or inherent to solve the cast.

Similarly, Tota Roy Chowdhury's depiction simply didn't fit the character IMO. The backstory should've had more substantial consequences to make it a strong plot. I didn't conjecture the point of casting Sohini for just a moment.
