Whoever decided to cast a 55 yr old actor as Tenida, hats off to him! Great job! -_- You dont need a thin looking comedian for Tenida and replicate Chinmoy's persona, just read the novel or even watch the cartoons! A normal person bit older than the other three would have been sufficient. Get someone from serial if you need to. Also modernizing the stories in current settings is also ruining the flavour of what made them special in the first place. Just adapt them on their time period. That being said, they decided to not only modernize it but make huge changes to the plot's second half (taking some inspiration from Neel o Jogada Gokhro Diper Rohosso, uncredited obviously). No jokes land, no characters makes us laugh, no chemistry between the four friends. Tenida and Kyabla gets the most screentime making the other two just an extra and nothing to do. Sabyasachi Chakroborty was good in whatever screentime or role he had. Kanchan and Gaurav did good ngl but looked too old to play this characters. The cinematography is great, and the whole mystery part was good too though predictable. The background score is horrendous and annoying. I'll rather watch Charmurti again or that Zee Bangla cartoon than this one. And for future filmmakers who ever want to adapt it again, adapt faithfully.
