User Reviews

The 'modern' adaptation of Mani Shankar Mukherjee's acclaimed novel 'Chowringhee'.

Direction: Usual Srijit Mukherji style, but could have been better.

Acting: A mega star cast movie. Everyone performed so well. Notable mention - Swastika Mukherjee.

Music: All of them are very much related to the movie plot and nice composition. Best track - "Kichchu Chaini Aami", the female version.

***Minor Spoiler Part***

The final conversation scene between Abir Chatterjee and Parambrata Chatterjee in the elevator was little confusing. Audience already found out what happened. Did they talk about anything else? We don't know, because only their expressions were shown on the screen with sad background score.

This movie is a modern day adaptation of Chowranghee, with the taste of today's Kolkata, it's hotel culture, super fancy and poshy lifestyle and the consequences comes along them. You can expect the normal Srijit Mukherjee kinda direction in this movie too, a set of some really good cinematic shots will surely amaze you. Here in this movie 4 different stories of different people revolves around a Hotel, named Shah jahan regency. Though there are many loopholes, many imperfections in the script but the sadist storyline and the power of consecutive deaths in the script keep the audience glued to their seats. (Spoiler alert) Coming to the star cast and acting perspectives, this movie surely has a number of very strong and sharp castings, however I felt like Rittika Sen should have done this better. In brief, this film is surely not the perfect improvised and modernized version of 1968 Chowranghee, but this surely worths a watch.
