ThiefHott Too much of everything

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

rupak_speaking Could have been a masterpiece but faltered at the last hurdle, mainly due to the casting choice of the director. Parambrata has an easy going style of acting, but it is too stereotype, and it is high time somebody takes his place in the industry, as someone already has, the one very talented Ritwik Chakraborty. Another choice was Chiranjeet, though I heard Anjan Dutta was Srijit's original preference. He, however, did not do that bad, though Mr Dutta could have been a class apart. A thriller is bound to pivot around its climax and it could have been a clincher, if not for a weak performance by Param. This role was tailor-made for Ritwik. The director missed a big trick there. Ritwik could have clinched it for him in that last scene. Otherwise, the direction was masterful, Srijit himself is the real star of this movie. Use of colour, style of storytelling, cinematography, wonderful songs and their picturisations, all make it a worthy viewable experience. Would have wanted to give a 6.5, but IMDB not allowing so, sorry for being harsh here... 6/10.

Indrani B Chotushkone, I feel, aptly showcases Srijit Mukherjee's cinematic brilliance and mastery after Autograph. It's audio-visual treat and storytelling at its best. Although more than two weeks have passed since I watched Chotushkone, everything from its amazing protagonists, subtle humor, superb cinematography to haunting music still reverberates in my mind and am yet to get over this 'Chotushkonic' after effect!Srijit, we all know that you're a fantastic filmmaker of our generation and you know how to weave a story and with Chotushkone, you haven't let us down. I can't remember when was the last time I watched such a gripping Bengali thriller and something which kept me hooked till the end. Needless to say, you have an upper hand on wit, punch lines and plot twists.All the four stories are beautifully entwined; especially loved the one featuring Chiranjeet Chakraborty. He's such a gifted actor and his makeover is simply fascinating! With a bevy of stalwarts like Aparna Sen, Barun Chanda, Goutam Ghosh and Kaushik Ganguly, it's a brilliant quadrangle in its own right! Aparna Sen once again charms us all with her sheer class and unmatched screen presence. She's undoubtedly getting better and better with age! And of course, Parambrata Chatterjee...you acted like dream – flawless and extraordinary in your shy and fumbling avatar!Loved the use of light and shadows which looked almost surreal at times. Everything from props to backdrops exhibit insight and finesse. Only one thing I really didn't identify with is Konineeca's character – was it really necessary? The emotional climax at the end will ring in my mind in times to come!Srijit Mukherjee, among all veteran and prominent filmmakers present in Tollywood today, you're slowly and steadily etching your presence both on audiences' mind and box-office and silencing your critics  So take a bow! Wannabe storytellers and cine lovers like us really look up to you and believe that you'll treat us with such fresh narratives in the days to come!

Ankan Biswas Srijit Mukherjee has taken Bengali cinema to new heights with movies like 'Autograph', 'Hemlock Society', 'Baishe Srabon' & 'Jaatishwar'. He surpasses himself with 'Chotushkone'. The plot is complex and gripping with a mind-blowing twist at the end. Aparna Sen, Chiranjit Chakraborty, Gautam Ghosh and Kaushik Ganguly give commendable performances. But among all these veterans it is Parambrata Chattapadhay who steals the show with his phenomenal performance. Cinematography is very good. Two great tracks further enhance the movie- 'Boba Tunnel' is a trademark Anupam Roy song and 'Bawshto ese geche' is melodious sung beautifully by Lagnajita Chakraborty. All in all, an excellent movie. Highly recommended.
