SHANTILAL O PROJAPATI ROHOSHYA:Coming from the Pratim D.Gupta stable, this movie is a big disappointment. Promoted as a detective film, the movie lacks the bone-chilling adventure and the nail-biting suspense that accompanies mystery stories. In the movie everything is simple and unrealistic-the meeting of Shantilal with Rocket Ranjan, Shantilal’s travel to Chennai and Singapore and hooking up with insiders without much of a hindrance, meeting with Nandita at her place -all of these happen smoothly without much of chase or intrigue. The director had an excellent story concept but he does nothing to excite the audience and keep it on the edge. Paoli Dam and Ritwick Chakraborty enact their characters well. Ambarish, Shankar Chakraborty and Goutam Ghose support equally well. Aparna Sen does a guest appearance along with her husband. Mirch Somak also features as a journalist. But the inept handling of the plot and a flat script fail to impress the audience. Surely can give it a miss.
