It's an action packed unfolding of a familiar formula. A young man in a new campus realises the city changes, the name's different, but the enemy's DNA is the same. He's the trusted henchman of a politician, and thinks nothing of drugs, rape, maiming, killing. And still he's defeated by the youth who walks the path of righteousness.
    So, what's diff'rent? The production values, the characters, the performances. The polished unfolding does not leave room for melodrama. There's a reason for the characters to behave as they do.

But why isn't the mapping of the baddie as clear? There's an unexplained duality about the character who loves his brother but couldn't care less for the fate of his victim's brother. The ambivalence peaks when he kills his father because he loves him too much to see him suffer. This makes Bishnu an ominous villain, but it's left to Ashish Vidyarthi to hone him into a delectable character. One craves to see more of this NSD graduate who's already ruling the screen in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam films.

Jeet is impressive too, with studied control of energy and emotion. Rishi is an interesting face in the crowd. But, at the end of two hours, it's Riingo one welcomes to the Bengali screen. His debut feature leaves us with hope for Bengali mainstream.
