Shesh Theke Shuru Review: A Perfect Entertainer for The Festive Season

The Premise

The film starts with a flight to London where Dhaka-based businessman, Mahid (Jeet)  Sheikh, meets Pujarini (Koel), a research scholar from Kolkata. They fall in love and the lovers were just enjoying the summer of their life when the dark past of Mahid catch up with them. Things turn a sad turn and their world falls apart. 

Direction

The movie has everything, from peppy romance to family rivalry to a thrilling action sequence. It could grip the audience till the end but somewhere the storytelling falters. Director Raj Chakraborty had so many things on his plate and he ended up putting one thing over another. 

Cast

Jeet and Koel's pair which was the main attracting of the film didn't disappoint. Their chemistry is evident in every scene, be it in light-hearted romantic moments or in the intensely emotional scenes, the spark is visible.

The actors never missed a point. Jeet especially is brilliant in bringing various shades of Majid with precision. He can portray the inner turmoil of a torn man with ease and can launch a punch on the antagonist with equal credibility. Koel, on the other hand, looked pretty and played Pujarini a vivacious woman at the beginning and a broken soul in the second half beautifully. Ritabhari Chakraborty too demands a special mention. 

Finally, even with all of its flaws in direction and the film's dragged subplots, it is a decent watch for the audience of Bengali commercial film. Fans of Jeet and Koel can expect a complete entertainment package if not anything else.

Positives:

• Jeet and Koel's chemistry 
• Performances by the entire cast
• high on entertainment value
• Action sequences 

Negatives:

• Dragged in places
• Unnecessary subplots 
• Potholes in the writing
