Murderbaad Movie Review: Sharib Hashmi, Amole Gupte Shine In This Layered But Overly Ambitious Whodunit Film
Murderbaad is not for everyone. It's too quiet for those expecting fireworks. But actors Nakul Roshan Sahdev, Sharib Hashmi, Manish Chaudhari and Amole Gupte shine. Murderbaad Movie Review: Murderbaad is a rather unique watch. It takes a thriller, a rather familiar territory for us, but what the maker does with it is almost worth watching out for. Arnab Chatterjee, who writes, directs, and produces, takes a psychological thriller and quietly rewires it into something darker and far more unnerving, dismantling the genre piece by piece. Arnab may be all of 24 but he doesn't need you to cut him any slack or go easy on him as it turns out to be a surprisingly layered whodunit, offering an intriguing mix of romance, mystery and suspense. The film begins in Jaipur and revolves around the story of Jayesh (Nakul Roshan Sahdev), a soft-spoken tour guide who has recently moved to Rajasthan. During one of his guided trips, he strikes up a romance with Isabelle (Kanikka Kapur), an NRI visiting India for the first time. But just when you're tricked into thinking that it's a love story, a fellow tourist from the same group disappears. Suddenly, Jayesh finds himself entangled in a web of doubt. And that sets the mood and the tonality of the rest of the narrative. But that's exactly when the screenplay starts wobbling a bit. While Murderbaad starts out promisingly, it falters under the weight of its own ambition. What follows is not a traditional mystery and certainly not a neat one. Murderbaad is more interested in mood than momentum, more in implication than exposition. The investigation unfolds only as scaffolding. What Arnab is really exploring is rot – social, psychological and emotional. Characters move from Jaipur to North Bengal, a lesser-exposed milieu in mainstream Bollywood, but never truly escape the moral deadness that surrounds them. Visually, the film is striking. Veteran cinematographer Binod Pradhan's camerawork aptly captures the grime. He shoots Rajasthan and West Bengal with a keen eye and plays around with harsh light and hard shadows. There's an authentic quality to the frame wherein clothes look lived-in, walls peeled and rooms smell musty. At 143 minutes, the editing appears to resist the temptation to rush. There are long silences and withheld payoffs. The action, choreographed by another veteran Sham Kaushal, is brutal and effective. The performances are uniformly strong. Nakul brings a vulnerability that is palpable. Sharib Hashmi, as the morally compromised Maqsood, is impressive in a never-seen-before avatar. Manish Chaudhari plays Inspector Maheshwari without the usual cop theatrics. And Amole Gupte, who appears much later, is genuinely disturbing. The film's most surprising decision is its third-act detour, which marks a sudden shift into Bengali terrain, introducing a new character and a new emotional range. It's a gamble and that lands. The personal becomes political and that in turn becomes mythic. Murdabaad is not for everyone. It's too bleak for comfort viewing, too quiet for those expecting fireworks. It is subtle. Its violence is not flashy or for gore. Its horror is existential. It cleverly manipulates memory and stores nightmares. Arnab's Murderbaad catches you off-guard at a time when increasingly algorithmic cinema is available in surplus. But it's a long wait till that final shock in its last few moments unravel. It's an honest attempt – one that could have soared much higher with a crisper, fast-paced storytelling. Go for it if you love thrillers and are looking for a slow-burning, nuanced experience!

'Dear Ma' is about love that transcends blood ties, says director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury
Acclaimed filmmaker Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury , best known in the country for his Hindi film 'Pink', said his latest Bengali flick 'Dear Ma' explores love, romance, and responsibility, with adoption woven in as a sub-plot - not the central theme. Speaking to PTI on Friday, Roy Chowdhury described the film as an emotional journey centered on an adopted child and her parents, touching on multiple aspects of familial love. Starring Bangladeshi actor Jaya Ahsan , along with Chandan Roy Sanyal, Dhritiman Chatterjee, and Saswata Chatterjee, the film released in theatres on July 18. Roy Chowdhury told PTI that 'Dear Ma' is an extension of his first film 'Anuranan', followed by 'Antoheen', 'Pink', 'Kadak Singh' to name a few where romance and affection are portrayed in various shades. "Dear Ma is one of the most poignant, expressive phrases ever uttered by a child. The film's ultimate message is what I call mom's magic," the director said. The film centres on an adopted child and her parents, production house sources said. "Didn't we once write in postcards 'Sri Charaneshu Ma'? Even today, we utter 'Ma' instinctively when overwhelmed with emotion," he said. Mandira Bedi's filmmaker husband Raj Kaushal no more; suffered massive cardiac arrest "The story is rooted in personal experiences-mine and screenwriter Sakayajit Bhattacharya's - and I believe every viewer will leave the theatre with moist eyes." While developing the storyline, the title 'Dear Ma' automatically struck my mind and it stayed on, he added. On the decision to return to Bengali cinema after a decade since his last Bengali film, Roy Chowdhury said, "I had to make this in Bengali. It felt personal and essential. That said, 'Dear Ma' is also being released in other regions to reach a wider audience." Asked whether the film aims to raise social awareness about child adoption, the filmmaker said, "Adoption is just a layer in the story. The film delves much deeper - into the bonds between mother and child, a husband and wife, and the emotional crises people face in life. Adoption is only one of the subplots." He added that 'Dear Ma delivers' the message that life itself is magic. "What matters is the emotional bond, not whether it's biological. The connection between souls can be stronger than blood," he added. Talking about Bangladeshi actor Ahsan, he said, "She is one of the finest actors I've worked with - obedient, spontaneous, and deeply immersed in her character. In one scene, she had tears in her eyes." He also lauded the performance of the child actor who plays Ahsan's daughter in the film. "She's incredibly spontaneous. In one scene, she had to question her mother and then hold a gaze. She nailed it in one take. The mandatory three-month workshop we held before the shoot really helped the cast inhabit their characters."
