This film focuses on the assassin Bob Biswas, a character conceived by Sujoy Ghosh and Advaita Kala in 2012 launched Kahaani which featured Vidya Balan, thus technically making it a prequel to Kahaani.
Actor Saswata Chatterjee had portrayed the quirky character in Kahaani with such aptitude and unconventional vogue that it landed turning into an intriguing decide value exploring his backstory, and thus this film germinated.
In distinction to the high-octane, nifty thriller Kahaani, Bob Biswas with a character-driven plot, is a slow-paced film. The titular character in a weak way of thinking embarks on a journey of self-discovery after being in a coma for eight years. Unable to recall his earlier, and whereas making an attempt to piece his life collectively collectively together with his partner Mary, son Benny and step-daughter Mini after he steps out of the hospital. How he'll get his potential sufferer’s MMS on a cellular phone and is pressured to kill them whereas working undercover as a life insurance coverage protection agent, varieties the crux of the film.
Set in Kolkata, the script does have its moments, with the twists inside the story and the code of conduct amongst criminals, nevertheless it’s Bob’s gullibility that retains you hooked to the show display screen.
Whereas we miss Saswata Chatterjee as a result of the eponymous killer, Abhishek Bachchan collectively together with his bemused look and unwonted method delivers an equally earnest effectivity. He’s aptly supported by Chitrangda Singh as his partner Mary, Ronith Arora as Son Benny, and Samara Tijori as Mini.
Purab Kohli has his moments of onscreen glory as a result of the drug peddler Bubai. Equally, Pabitra Rabha as Dhonu the street-food vendor, and Paran Bandopadhyay as a result of the pharmacist Kali Da who retains saying: “Niyam, Niyam hota hai…” go away their mark on the show display screen.
Tina Desai in a significant perform as Police Officer Indira Verma is stereotypical and so are all the alternative supporting actors who’re a part of the city’s underbelly.
Whereas Bob Biswas’ once more story is intriguing and the film informs you of how he’s linked to the story in ‘Kahaani’, creator Sujoy Ghosh takes the lazy method out.
His script fails to tell us about Bob’s initiation into the world of crime, how he turned a contract killer inside the first place. This is ready to have been moderately extra fascinating. Moreover, Bob’s journey as a result of the assassin is simple and perfunctory that previous a level, you merely don’t get emotionally hooked.
