&Cleopatra
Zulfiqar-Based on William Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar' and 'Antony and Cleopatra'....Aftr the classics lyk 'Autograph','Baishe Shrabon','Hemlock Society','Mishawr Rohosyo',etc.,Srijit Mukherji comes up with his dream star cast in Zulfiqar(Prosenjit as Zulfiqar Ahmed/Julius Caesar)....Dev(Markaz Ali/Marcus) plays a dumb character nd quite surprisingly his performance is flawless...Parambrata(Tony Braganza/Antonio) is the man with the swag...He is always as usual top notch....Ankush(Akhtar/Octavius) too deserves applause...Kaushik Sen(Basheer Khan/Brutus),Jishu Sengupta(Kashinath Kundu/Cassius) and Rahul deserve a special mention....From dialogues to direction,from the action sequences(Death Race being the best) to the abusive crime sequences and background score,this film has a lot to offer....Combining Shakespeare's two dramas in a single movie with the Kolkata Underworld(Khidderpore Dock) angle to it,Srijit makes it a commercial but not suitable for all movie....Anupam Roy's music nd vocals blend well with the flow of the movie......Though,the movie also has certain minor errors and does lag a bit in the second half...But,the climax is what you would b waitng fr....
Note:- It's definitely one of the best commercial movies in Tollywood...But,it might nt get the tag of one of Srijit Mukherji's classics due to its commercial quotient....
Warning:- It's NOT a Bengali movie,but a Hingalish(Hindi+Bengali+English) one.....
