Surongo Movie Review: Aaafran Aisho’s debut film is a dark satire about money and love – TOI Etimes
Raihan Rafi’s ‘Surongo’ is the most recent Bangladeshi thriller-drama to hit the screens, starring Afran Nisho (of Kaiser and Syndicate fame) and Toma Mirza. Upon marrying Moyna (Mirza), Masud (Nisho) learns that she has a behavior of asking him for cash and presents. He tries to maintain up together with her calls for, however shortly after, she finds him a contact by way of which he goes to Malaysia for work. In the meantime, Masud’s good friend Jahir (Mostafa Monwar) begins pursuing Moyna, and buys costly presents to woo her. A lonely and friendless Moyna relents and so they start an affair.
Quickly after, Moyna leaves with Jahir, and begins residing with him. To win again Moyna and make some huge cash, Masud decides to dig a tunnel to rob a financial institution. The premise of this plot has loads of holes and leaves the viewers questioning many issues (for example, how Masud may afford this plan). Nonetheless, the director’s single-mindedness in creating unidimensional characters is maybe the most important disadvantage of the movie.
Masud’s trajectory has been given room to increase however the script wasn’t that sort to Moyna. The director appeared fairly hell-bent on making her, and cash, the foundation of all evil. It’s just like the therapy given to Gulti (Nazifa Tushi) in Mejbaur Rahman Sumon’s Hawa, the place her character was proven because the ‘troublemaker’.
Mirza’s chemistry with Nisho and Monwar is totally different however she performs it out effectively and it makes her relatable. Her sturdy appearing and expressive eyes can draw out compassion from the viewers.
Within the second half, Shahiduzzaman Selim’s quick, spectacular position because the investigating officer steals the body. Nonetheless, logic appears to evade the script at occasions and with out Selim’s presence, it could have in all probability fallen flat on its face.
The movie’s music, scored by Sajid Sarker and Emon Chowdhury, has a few hummable tunes, like “Gaa Chuye Bol”. Nonetheless, Nusrat Faria’s merchandise quantity feels extra like a filler. The cinematography by Sumon Sarkar captures some lovely frames, particularly in low mild. And regardless of the plot points, Surongo is certainly an fascinating watch.
