"V" inci Da Bengali Movie Review #BlogchatterA2Z

By

The letter V is tough to find in use in the Bengali language, as we don't pronounce V at all. So any word that starts with V is either pronounced as B or Bh in some cases. However, there is one prominent film by Srijit Mukherjee called "Vinci Da" and I am going to review it today for the 22nd day of the #Blogchattera2z challenge.

Synopsis

A brilliant and eccentric makeup artist, mockingly called Vinci Da due to his love for Da Vinci's art, finds solace in creating makeup for local club dramas. One day, he is visited by a strange man named Adi Bose, who offers him the opportunity of a lifetime: to create realistic masks of random people. Unaware of the true purpose behind this unusual assignment, Vinci Da dedicates himself fully to crafting the masks. However, he soon discovers that he is in grave danger. Adi Bose is actually a dangerous serial killer who uses the lookalike masks to impersonate corrupt individuals, committing heinous crimes while framing them to ensure their arrest. In this context, Vinci Da's girlfriend Jaya is brutally raped.

Investigative officer Bijoy Poddar takes on the case, and his investigation leads him to Vinci Da. What actions does Vinci Da take to evade him and seek revenge on Adi Bose for the rape of his girlfriend?

Review and Significance

"Vinci Da" is a thrilling film and one of Srijit Mukherji's finest creations, playing a vital role in his "Cop Universe," which started with "Baishe Srabon." Rudranil Ghosh gives a remarkable performance as Vinci Da, while Ritwick Chakraborty excels as Adi Bose. Rudranil's portrayal of Vinci is particularly striking; he embodies an eccentric makeup artist devoted to creating realistic designs. Despite his talent, Vinci struggles to find work in the film industry due to his authenticity. As a devoted lover and, ultimately, a determined individual seeking revenge, Vinci's journey is captivatingly depicted by the actor.

I would like to give a special mention to Ridhi Sen for his portrayal of the younger Adi Bose. He effectively captured the character's monstrous side during a brief but incredibly intense moment in the film. Anirban Bhattacharya, as Bijoy Poddar, fully embraces the character's depth, making a remarkable entrance into the Cop Universe alongside his predecessors, Prasenjit Chatterji and Parambrata Chatterji.

Srijit Mukherji's direction is fast-paced, striking a perfect balance between emotion and violence, which allows the characters to truly shine.

" Vinci Da" is surely one of the finest thrillers in Bengali Cinema.

Mushy Mushrooms, Mini Macaroons & 5 Whodunnit Murder Mysteries to Watch on My Breakfast Plate

By

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...

That Same Forest, That Same Fire #BlogchatterBloghop

Marc was looking at the remnants of what used to be his vast villa once. He could see clouds of smoke forming in certain places. It was still hot out there, with fire fragments flowing all over. In front of the gate was a huge pile of broken items- some turned to ashes and some half-broken. He could see something shining through the pile. He approached near to find a partially broken framed photograph. He picked it up to find one half of a picture of a beautiful 25-year-old woman with wavy blond hair and dreamy hazel eyes- his Lucy.  Fire - devastating, damaging & destructive! It has taken away all he has lived with for the last 5 years. Every object, every article, and every piece had been restoring Lucy's touch, her memories, and the feeling of her presence that brought life to all things inanimate. The garden where she grew her roses, the pool where she used to swim like a swan, all gulped by the deadly hunger of the forest fire!!  Tears rolled down the 55-year-old's ag...

"Myself Bakul from Baroda." A 30 something man approached Brenda. She was startled by the man's attire. She had never seen so many colours on a man before. She was left amused, "I am Brenda from New York." She could sense the man's nervousness. " You reporter?"  "Oh, yes, I work for the New York Flash." Brenda declared. The warm, cozy and colourful bookstore that they were in was very different from the usual ones. Situated by the sandy beach, it had a cafe, equally colourful. Even the books that adored the racks had been arranged in a rainbow themed pattern. Brenda quite liked the overall decor and theme. In fact she was planning to write about it in her next feature, when Bakul came. His outfit perfectly matched the cafe's overall theme. "Nice outfit." Brenda was not a pro at hiding her feelings. "Thanks, Ba's choice."  "Ba, is that your girlfriend?" "No no, grandmother." Suddenly the enti...
