Abar Bohcor Kuri Pore Film Review
Directed by first-timer Srimanta Sengupta, "Abar Bochhor Koori Pore" is an entertaining reunion film that triggers nostalgia, particularly in the first half. However, as the film progresses, it becomes predictable and repetitive.
The story revolves around five friends who went their separate ways for various reasons twenty years ago. The ensemble cast, including Abir Chatterjee, Arpita Chatterjee, Rudranil Ghosh, and Tnusree Chakraborty, portrays these characters. The film explores the theme of nostalgia, but it reaches a point where it feels like the characters are merely stuck in the past without much growth or development.
Rudranil Ghosh's character, known as Dutta among friends, convinces Arun (played by Abir Chatterjee) to join the reunion of their school batch in Kolkata. Dutta plans a gathering with Neela (Chakraborty) and Arun's former teenage sweetheart and ex-wife, Bonnie (Arpita Chatterjee). Arun initially finds the idea absurd, as Neela is busy with her domestic life and Arun himself is not particularly keen on meeting Bonnie.
However, despite the promising premise, the film becomes predictable and repetitive as it unfolds. The story loses its momentum and fails to offer fresh and engaging moments in the latter half, diminishing the impact of the reunion narrative.

In the second half of "Abar Bochhor Koori Pore," the twists become predictable and the dialogues start to feel repetitive. The characters themselves seem to have not grown or evolved over the years, residing in a sentimental bubble filled with constant reminiscences.
Rudranil Ghosh shines on the screen with his impeccable comic timing, portraying the amiable and accommodating character of Dutta. Pushan Dasgupta, who plays his teenage counterpart, possesses good screen presence. Rajarshi Nag, Tanika Basu, and Dibyasha Das, who portray the younger versions of Jayanta, Neela, and Bonnie respectively, infuse infectious energy into their performances, creating some of the film's most memorable moments. On the other hand, Abir Chatterjee, Arpita Chatterjee, and Tnusree Chakraborty deliver average performances.
A reunion story runs the risk of hitting a plot barrier, and unfortunately, "Abar Bochhor Koori Pore" falls victim to this fear with its lengthy storyline. While sentimentality and nostalgia can captivate the audience to a certain extent, a compelling story must offer something more. Although the film showcases technical strengths, it proves to be entertaining primarily in the first half.
