Dracula Sir Film Review
Dracula Sir revolves around the life of Raktim Chowdhury, a primary schoolteacher with distinct vampire-like features that earn him the nickname "Dracula Sir" from his students. However, there is more to Raktim than meets the eye, and he grapples with an existential crisis while attempting to escape his unique reality. The film delves into themes of reincarnation, dichotomy, and the complexities of human existence.
Initially, it may take some time to fully grasp and connect with the film's intricate narrative. However, once immersed, viewers are treated to a blend of drama, a touch of thrill, and occasionally excessive gore. The director maintains a clear and concise vision, ensuring appropriate cinematic frames and lucid dialogues that enhance the storytelling experience.
The screenplay is engaging but not without its share of flaws. To confuse the audience and keep them guessing, the story twists and turns every second towards the end. It’s like a journey into the mind of a hallucinating patient. As Raktim goes about seeking the truth, the audience has no option but to make sense of the confusing narrative. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a good watch. In the scenes like the one where a psychiatrist tries to reason with Raktim on why he thinks he is Amol Shome reborn after his death in the '70s, the tussle between reason and belief is explained well. But then, the way the script tries to link Raktim’s imagination on seeing a fumigation machine to a conversation with his beloved (Mimi Chakraborty) is a bit far-fetched.
The film could have been 100% original had not included scenes where Raktim dresses up as Dracula but looks more like the Joker. It seems to have been forced into the screenplay. There could have been better ways of connecting Raktim's instinct to take revenge in 2020 with the mindless torture he faces as a political pawn in '70s Bengal.
