Chengiz Trailer Review
Review of Jeetz Filmworks' Chengiz
Prepare yourself for a thrilling gangster drama set in the vibrant city of Kolkata - Chengiz, a film that takes you on a gripping journey through a notorious underworld ruled by the enigmatic Jaidev Singh, popularly known as Chengiz. This gripping tale unravels the power and influence Chengiz held over the city during the 1970s, 1980s, and into the mid-90s.
While Neeraj Pandey and Rajesh Ganguly have crafted a familiar storyline, it is the execution that sets Chengiz apart. Ganguly's screenplay, though somewhat predictable, delivers an engaging narrative that keeps the audience at the edge of their seats. However, there are a few lackluster scenes that fail to capture the essence of the underworld atmosphere, leaving some room for improvement.
The dialogues, unfortunately, lack the punch and originality expected from a film of this caliber. However, the performances from the cast do manage to salvage the script to some extent. Jeet's portrayal of Chengiz is commendable, while Rohit Roy delivers a fair performance as ACP Samir Sinha. Susmita Chatterjee brings a satisfactory touch to her role as Nandini, and Shataf Figar adequately embodies the essence of gangster Omar Khalid. Ayush Das, in his supporting role as young Jaidev Singh, delivers a commendable performance.
Overall, Chengiz offers an exciting and gripping narrative, despite its occasional flaws. It showcases the dark underbelly of Kolkata's underworld, transporting viewers into a world of power, corruption, and ultimately redemption. Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in this thrilling tale of a gangster's rise and fall in the legendary city of Kolkata.
Rajesh Ganguly's direction in Chengiz is rather predictable, offering nothing extraordinary. While the music by Kaushik Guddu and Aneek Dhar serves its purpose, it fails to make a lasting impression. The lyrics come across as rather ordinary, lacking that special spark. Imran Sardhariya's choreography, although decent, doesn't quite leave a lasting impact. Anbu Selvan's background music, while average, fails to create a captivating atmosphere. The camerawork by Manas Ganguly is satisfactory, capturing the essence of the film adequately. However, Stunt Silva's action and stunt scenes lack the thrill one would expect from such sequences. Ananda Addhya's production design is passable, but there is room for improvement. Malay Laha's editing, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired; the film could have easily been shortened by at least 15-20 minutes, enhancing the overall experience. On a positive note, the dubbing is handled properly, adding to the film's authenticity.
