Paap Punyo comes with a good story where the cast tried hard to pull it through mostly.
But the thing that frustrated me most was flat, uninspired direction by Gias Uddin Salim. Probably due to dull camera work, editing or lack of BGM, he failed to capture the total essence of the story effectively here. In some parts, scene transition or moving one sequence to another felt quite clumsy. In multiple occasions, there were moments that supposed to be emotionally impactful but sadly failed to reach the mark that they were intended for.
Moreover, the whole trunk incident in the train was kind of questionable. Chanchal's character was an honest chairman of a locality but how come he turned out to be so stupid to take the responsibility of such a suspicious luggage from some unknown people?! Considering the timeline of the story, the whole thing actually happened AFTER he killed Al Amin (Siam) and put his dead body to a similar luggage and threw it to a river! Btw, that res suitcase was too small for a Siam-sized body :D We get the irony of his fate but this series of events could have been portrayed in a more believable manner.
Overall, it was a fine, twisted story that deserved better screen adaptation, IMO.
