First of all, I would like to clarify that I am not a Bengali, neither Bangla is my first language and nor I can read, speak or understand Bengali. I came across this movie through Amazon prime as it was the part of the new releases under Prime day celebrations. I have watched the whole movie with English subtitles.
Now lets talk about the movie, it is being marketed / projected as a horror movie which it is not. It is not even scary to the slightest bit. In some scenes it is actually funny. I don't know if it is a cultural thing but the two male lead actors are projected as wusses. Both dudes start vomiting as soon as they see any sign of blood or dead bodies of animals. Really? each Bengali eats fish atleast 5 to 6 times in a week. Do you think fish are vegetables of the sea? you cannot stomach road kill? consuming so many aquatic animals and then being scared of dead animals does not makes sense to me.
In the year 2019 the director is making a cheap copy of 1999 movie "The Blair Witch Project" I understand that part but your movie is not scary neither it is entertaining. Three out of 4 lead actors can actually act and the director Shabbir Mallick has wasted there talent. What has happened to Bengali cinema?
Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne was one of my favorite child hood movie which I saw on Doordarshan again with English subtitles. Even certain episodes of Satyajit Ray Presents were more scary then this movie. Highly disappointed with this movie.
