Gogoler Kirti Bengali Movie
The trend for sleuth films has been set for long. But the demise of a few stalwart directors has diluted the scene and with the baton in the hands of the contemporary filmmakers, the idea of sleuth films have undergone a tremendous change. Even though normally the target is children, but the films are surely unable to make that impact, which the earlier sleuth films made.
Director Pompy Ghosh Mukherjee sets Gogoler Kirti in Mohor Kunja. Gogol comes to Mohor Kunja, a palace situated near Kolkata, which belongs to the aristocratic family from which Narendranath (friend of Gogol's father Samiresh) hails. The family goes there during the pujas, to attend Narendranath's invitation, to be present for the family's Durga Puja. Gogol meets different unfamiliar people, all of whom are/are not part of the family. His interests towards each individual starts to grow as he begins to observe them closely.
The 'bonedi barir pujo' forms the perfect setting for Gogol's adventure, this season. Based on Samaresh Basu's story, the new film in the Gogol series is interesting and simple, but the entertaining children's film tag is not too appropriate for it definitely. Gogol runs behind the mysteries, and finds himself in the middle of a chase only when the family idol of 'Mahisasur Mardini' gets stolen. Indraneil Sengupta plays the cop and is good, Abhijit Ghosh as Gogol also lives up to his name. Sumit Sammadar in the role of the dumb person is really good. The other actors are comfortable in their respective roles too. The Brilliant setting of the film, the palatial interiors and the Durga Puja steals the show, compared to anything else.
To summarise, unlike Goyenda Gogol, its sequel is not that eyeball grabbing. With not so interesting, unremarkable films hitting the theatres almost every Friday, for the last few weeks Gogoler Kirti is just a nice watch to stay close to Bengali cinema.
