This movie was too weak and full of flaws.

One major flaw is the inconsistency in accents. In the midst of conversations, Toma Mirza switches between accents of Jessore and Khulna. On the other hand, Nisho occasionally shifts to Tangail's dialect. Ordinary villagers speak like the parrot from a cartoon. Shahidujjaman Selim's Chittagong accent was unrealistically exaggerated. While acting can cover up such inconsistencies to some extent, it's essential to maintain a consistent accent.

For good acting in a film, alongside expressions, displaying a range of emotions, maintaining an accent is crucial. Without skill, it's difficult to grasp. Main actors in Sylhet left their mark. Director Rafi's Chittagong accent was consistent.

Regarding another flaw, I was surprised no one mentioned it! After Nisho goes to Malaysia, she talks on the phone with Toma Mirza against the backdrop of Malaysia's green screen. Was it absolutely necessary to show that? It could have been managed differently. Looked so fake.

When Nisho first appears, the way she falls from the electric pole is unrealistic. But if someone falls like she did, even if they don't die, they would still get hurt. But she seemed okay after a few days at the hospital. However, I noticed her hand was slightly injured.

The crowd actors were a big flop. Watching them shout and gesture reminds me of a sports stadium audience in an E-sports game.

Starting from this spoiler section (although everyone probably knows all this): Nisho plans bank robbery and starts with a tunnel heist. Later, she realizes that the vault in the bank actually contains the money. So, what was her initial plan by digging that tunnel??

He used a fake name. That's okt. But opening an account at a bank requires an NID (National Identity Card). And online verification is done. Based on the timeline, you can't open a bank account with just a fake name. As shown, the money is hidden in the vault (or strong room). But the details are not explained.

And the stolen money, 34 crore 20 lakh - how much money is that? Rafi Saheb has done the calculations. Various amounts are shown at different times. When we see inside the vault (which is actually a strong room), there is only money, money, and more money. However, even if there are only 1000 Taka notes, it would still require 3,420,000 notes. Now think about how many bags it would take to hold that much money. When the money was thrown in tunnel , it looked like a mountain of money!

Humor, dialogue, and comic relief are only enjoyable in two places. It doesn't feel right without them, especially until the intermission. The pace picks up in the second half. There are some good scenes with Raihan Rafi's signature. The music is good. The twist isn't bad. However, what was the point of the item dance by Nusraat Faria ? Wouldn't the movie have been a hit without imitating Hindi movie attire and style? Would people not have come? Was this vulgar dance necessary for the story? All of this unnecessary stuff isn't enjoyable.

Raihan Rafi's 'Damal' was good, despite some flaws, I've praised it. It had an emotional connection. I preferred that over the blend of genre cinema. I would have been happier if the Damal was a box office hit like this.

Okay, let me address something which no one is telling about this movie. It's a decent film with good twists and an engaging storyline, despite having some flaws that can be overlooked. However, there is an underlying issue in this movie that nobody seems to be discussing or may be afraid to bring up.

In the story, June's father is portrayed as the victim. He is not depicted as the worst of all bad men. June's mother handed him over to the police, claiming he was abusive. However, we, as the audience, did not witness him engaging in any abusive behavior. So, how can we pass judgment on him? Yes, it's true that he used recreational drugs, but is a 12-year sentence justified for that? He loved his daughter, and yet you took her away from him and stole 12 years of his life. Is it fair to say that he doesn't deserve some form of revenge?

Now, onto a positive aspect of the movie: he managed to kill his ex-wife's karen friend. Personally, I wished he could have also eliminated the lady too!

Is this a werewolf episode in Black Mirror? Why? What led to its creation? What ideas does it explore? What is new about it? Why was money, resources, and time invested in it? Undoubtedly, this episode stands out as the weakest in this season, as well as the entire Black Mirror series. What were they really thinking?

These questions arise when encountering an episode that seemingly deviates from the established Black Mirror style and themes. The inclusion of a werewolf narrative, a trope often associated with traditional horror, may puzzle devoted fans. Black Mirror has always been known for its thought-provoking and dystopian tales, examining the dark side of technology and society. So, why did they choose to venture into the territory of supernatural creatures?

I am totally fed up with this!

While the series features the talented Nasiruddin Khan, who has captivated audiences with his powerful on-screen presence, the script does not live up to his potential.

The story follows Allen Swapan, a drug dealer who travels to his brother's city, kills him, and takes over his family and job. While this is a tried and tested formula, the director takes too much time to establish the character and his motivations, leaving little room for other details and complexities. Even though the series is rated 18+, there is a lack of sufficient "Skintime" of Mithila to fully satisfy viewers' expectations.

The last few episodes try to compensate for this by introducing new characters and twists, but the pacing is too fast, and the mental situations created for the characters are unbearable at times. In the end, the audience is left wondering if all the tension was for naught. Despite these flaws, Nasiruddin Khan's performance is a standout, carrying the series on his shoulders.

Overall, while there is potential for more complex narratives and characters, the director falls short of delivering a satisfying viewing experience.
