Film Review: Tirandaj Shobor streaming on Hoichoi... For my Bong friends!!
#sanjuzzreviews #goendashobor #tirandajshobor #hoichoi Directed by Arindam Sil, Tirandaj Shobor is the fourth film in the Goenda Shobor franchise after Ebar Shobor, Egaler Chokh and Asche Ebar Shobor.
The story starts off well with a taxi driver Bulu ( Nigel Akkara) bringing a dead man to Bhavanipore police station on a rainy night. He says that 3 people sat in his cab but only 2 of them left leaving behind the third dead in his taxi. He does not remember the faces as it was too dark. Who is the dead person and why was he killed in this manner? Is Bulu telling the truth? Has he narrated the entire tale or is there more to it ?
This is where our ace Goenda steps in, to investigate, unravel the mystery and dole out justice in his own special way!!
There are dark undertones to this movie - unfaithful wives, sexual perversions, illicit affairs which are a common theme in Shobor movies. This one doesn't disappoint either.
Saswata Chatterjee as Shobor- Goenda Lalbazaar (as he frequently introduces himself as) is brilliant as usual. Others in the cast Nigel Akkara ( Bulu) , Debjani Chatterjee, the dead man's wife, Arindam Sil ( as the dead man) & Chandan Sharma ( Pareshnath) in a short bit meaningful role add a lot of value to the story. Direction by Arindam Sil is also decent.
However, as compared to the earlier films in the franchise, this one ,though not bad , pales a bit due to the slow narrative and lack of surprise invoking moments.
To give an analogy - It is not an impeccably made dum biryani, but a normal daal chawal.
A decent one-time watch. Definitely want this franchise to continue and see more of Shobor in the future!!
3/5 for this one .. Adios🙂!!
