BOB BISWAS is an entertaining thriller built on a beautiful script, capable directing, and great acting.

Bob Biswas It is the story of a contract killer who lost his memory. Bob Biswas (Abhishek Bachchan) is married to Mary Biswas (Chitrangda Singh), with whom they have a son Benny (Ronith Arora) and a daughter Minnie (Samara Tijori). Bob had an accident eight years ago and has been in a coma ever since. Bob regains consciousness, but has no memory of his past life. He didn’t even know Mary or his children. Bob adjusted as best he could and thanks Mary for all the love and support he has given him through this difficult time. Slowly, Bob develops a bond with Benny and Minnie. He learns that Mini is his stepdaughter and that Mary was previously married to David (Karanuday Jenjani). After David died in an accident, Bob married her. One day, two policemen, Jishu Narang (Bhanu Uday Goswami) and Kharaj Sahu (Vishwanath Chatterjee), took Bob Biswas to a hideout. They told Bob that he was a contract killer and that he had worked for them in the past. They started giving him contracts to kill. Bob was apprehensive at first, but he accepted it quickly. His first two victims were Purab Kohli and Rahul (Kunal Verma), both of whom were in the business of selling a potent illicit drug codenamed “Blue”. When Bob goes to kill Rahul, he suddenly remembers his early life. He also realized that David did not die accidentally, but was killed. What happens next makes up the rest of the movie.

Sujoy Ghosh’s story is interesting and a good origin story for the iconic character in his beloved movie KAHAANI [2012]. However, it gives a deja vu like “Prince” [2010] Or a Hollywood movie like Bourne Identity [2002], salary [2003] Wait, the protagonist also lost his memory. Sujoy Ghosh’s script works very well. He injects some great drama and emotional moments into the film that keep people interested. There are multiple characters, but most of them serve an important purpose and are fleshed out. However, he left several unanswered questions. The dialogue between Sujoy Ghosh and Raj Vasant is sharp and simple.

Directing by Diya Annapurna Ghosh is paramount, especially considering this is her first film. Since Bob Biswas was a character in the movie KAHAANI, it was important that the movie was also set in a similar area. Dia is very successful in this because the look and handling is like a 2012 movie. The dark humor in this movie and one of the USPs is very strong. In addition to the stimulating element, Bob’s family trajectory is also noteworthy, especially his relationship with Mary. However, the film is not without flaws. A major problem is that some bits, like how Bob lost his memory, are not explained. The intentions of Jishu and Kharaj to kill Bubai, Rahul and others are puzzling and no attempt is made to explain the motives behind these killings. Lastly, the film is slow-paced, and as such, it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.

BOB BISWAS started off the track of the drug mafia. The opening credits are a bit psychedelic and have to do with the drug angle. Bob’s initial scene is nice, but nothing special. It’s only when Bob kills his annoying neighbor (Kanchan Mullick) that the movie goes to a different level. The scenes of Kali Da (Paran Bandopadhyay) are delightful. After the interval, interest was maintained, although the unhurried narrative did test patience in places. Pre-climax and climax are very fascinating. Well done homage to KAHAANI at the end.

Abhishek A Bachchan did a great job. It’s a risk because he’s playing a role that was previously played perfectly by another actor (Saswata Chatterjee). But Abhishek made sure there would be no complaints. His dialogue is minimal, he communicates with eyes and silence, which is something to watch out for. Chitrangda Singh is adorable, she lights up the scene whenever she comes into the picture. Samara Tijori makes her debut with confidence. Ronith Arora is cute, but doesn’t have a lot of screen time. Paran Bandopadhyay is great. He played a very interesting character that deserves a spin-off. Tina Desai (Indira Velma) left her mark. Purab Kohli makes a memorable cameo. Bhanu Uday Goswami, Vishwanath Chatterjee, Rajatava Dutta (Shekhar Chatterjee) and Kunal Verma are all good ones. Kanchan Mullick laughed. Kaushik Raj Chakraborty (Ustad) is okay. Amar Upadhyay (Saubhik Das) played an interesting role but was wasted. Deepro Sen (Ayan; bully kid at school) is too good in the scene when Abhishek Bachchan threatens him. Strong support from Pavbitra Rabha (Dhonu; Chinese stall owner). Sharad Joshi (Shontu; Man Desperate for Drugs), Late Yusuf Husain (Dr Mehta), Piyush Lalwani (Ishaan; Man Who Provides “Blue” to Mini), Barun Chanda (Priest) and Gulan Kriplani (Durga Dwivedi; Senior Officer) )very good. Karanuday Jenjani aka Kiran Janjani has nothing to do.

The music isn’t of the blockbuster variety, but fits well into the script. ‘Janona’ is played in the opening sequence, while ‘Tu Toh Gaya Re’ Plays in the background during some fun scenes. The background music by Clinton Cerejo and Bianco Gomes is in sync with the film’s theme and mood.

Gairik Sarkar’s photography is spectacular and captures the Kolkata scene perfectly. Great to see Joy City after many years. The production designs of Madhumita Sen Sharma, Ajay Sharma and Rajesh Choudhary are both attractive and dated. Sham Kaushal’s actions are realistic. Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhan’s outfits are straight out of life. Editing by Yasha Jaidev Ramchandani could have been smoother.

Overall, Bob Biswas is an entertaining thriller based on an excellent script by Sujoy Ghosh, capable directing by Diya Annapurna Ghosh, and an excellent performance by Abhishek A Bachchan.
