First of all Let's say something about Redoan Rony. He is one of the significant products of "Mostofa Sarwar Farooki Wave". For the people outside Bangladesh, I am explaining it briefly. Mostafa Farooki is a director who promoted and assisted a bunch of guys to create a career in filmmaking as he was creating his own marks. They call themselves a brotherhood where most of the guys ended up making trashy television dramas and they don't have any real talent apart from copying Sarwar Farooki. But Redoan Rony seemed a bit different all the way with his style of making and we were watching a number of very entertaining television productions. It was clear at some point that he was not just following his mentor but he might have some real talent; until he made his first film "Chorabali".
How should I put this? I had a very positive expectation about this guy and I thought I would see some fast paced thriller and a decent storyline. The movie is a total joke. Not even close to the standard of any TV production that he made earlier. There was no strong storyline, no chemistry between characters, lousy characters with moronic and meaningless acts, typically commercial and lame actions, ridiculously boring dialogue, same old ending and what not. I think the director really lacks of basic scripting concept.
Everything is wrong about this movie. We see Joya Ahsan as a brave journalist who has fallen for a hit-man sent to kill her by a local gang leader. And the hit-man was tormented by guilt, decides to end his employers empire. This is pretty much it. Now, this sounds great. But trust me, there was nothing of this kind in this movie. The chemistry between the journalist and hit-man was such a fake; it failed terribly. The gang leader was so pathetic and sometimes he intentionally tried to imitate the "Joker laugh" (he also had a small scar just like joker..someone please kill me), and the other minor characters were so invisible, you will really feel like watching a prehistoric bangle movie. I always try not to give away important plot lines. But there is nothing to give away. I was just irritated by the shallowness of the story and the dialogue. And now I am shocked to see some good reviews in IMDb. I am sure these are written by the friends of the director. It is extremely hard to say any praise about anything of this movie.
The director basically misunderstood the concept of commercial movie. Or he misunderstood the concept of cinema. Who knows? But again, we don't expect worthless piece of cinema specially, when we know that the director is good. It's a pity that IMDb doesn't allow negative marking. Chorabali adds nothing to our cinema. Just deducts a few hours which I will never get back.
