An edge of the seat thriller with an unbelievable ending

A very well made, sleek, compact and interesting action-packed thriller. The plot is based mostly on a true story which makes it even more engrossing. This kind of thriller movie has not been seen in Bengali cinema before. It is not over the top movie like many of the South Indian thrillers Gang star movies and even outdoes them in many ways in finesse. The acting is top notch by the entire cast. Especially Swastika Mukherjee is awesome and surely will get a nomination for a Filmfare and/or National award. The making of the movie can be considered to be at the level of "The Godfather" at a smaller scale. Also the ending is very unexpected and spectacular. Definitely needs to be watch on the big screen.
