Vinci Da Review

Vinci Da Review: Twisted and terrifying Srijit's Vinci Da is a gripping thriller

The premise:

Vinci Da starts with a shocking scene where a young Adi Bose (Riddhi Sen) beats his abusive father to death and calls the police to inform the same. The scene instantly set to tone of the film and the audience gets instantly acquainted with the dark and twisted world that the fil is going to introduce.

The story then goes forward and there we see Adi Bose, now a lawyer who indulges into the killing with a twisted sense of justice. On the other hand, there is a talented makeup artist, who doesn't get his due in the Tollywood industry. His world is shaken when he is tricked by Adi Bose and one fine day he finds himself responsible for a murder.

Srijit as the director

Director Srijit Mukherjee has his own style of storytelling when it comes to the thrillers. We have already seen his excellence in Baishe Srabon and Chotuskon. Mukherjee amalgamates the thrilling tone of both his previous thrillers in his third one. As a director, he has managed to create a cinematic world with the balance of shock and suspense that will creep out and still keep the audience hooked to its core. 

The excellent cast

However, Vinci Da is one film that belongs to its cast. Rudranil Ghosh and Ritwick Chakraborty being two pillars of the film create a full circle of Vinci Da. Rudranil proved why he is a force to reckon with. Ritwick is effortless as always, however, his character could be more fearsome as even after Chakraborty's brilliant performance

Adi Bose doesn't terrify the way a serial killer should terrify others. Anirban Bhattacharya as a pan-chewing police offer looked credible. Sohini Sarkar was sweet and adorable as Jaya. Riddhi Sen will always be remembered for his cameo. The young actor set the mood of the movie with one scene and how!

The crew

Dialogue, camera, music, and makeup department did a commendable job this time. The camera work may remind you of Satyajit Ray in places but it carries Srijit's own signature style at the same time. Anupam Roy's music, especially Tomar Moner Bhetor song sung by Nobel will stay with you.

Positives

• Brilliant performance
• Srijit's direction
• Dialogues
• Music
• Camerawork
• Makeup

Negatives

• The film could have more fleshed out characters
• Rushed and half cooked tracks

Finally,

Vinci Da is not a flawless film. You may get sink the darkness of the suspense thriller or you might point out the mistakes and think about what went wrong and what could have been better. But, either way, you will stay glued to the screen for two hours. The film is definitely worth a watch.

Pycker Rating: 3.5/5
