Description: Buro Sadhu is an Indian Bengali psychological thriller film directed by VIK and produced by Wisemonk Creative in collaboration with Abir Ghosh and Somnath Ghosh, along with co-production by DNA Entertainment Networks. The movie features Ritwick Chakraborty, Chiranjeet Chakraborty, and Ishaa Saha in pivotal roles. The story revolves around the protagonist, Abir, tracing his journey from childhood to adulthood, his turbulent family life, and his relationships as he transitions from poverty to wealth. Released in India on November 1, 2019, the film attempts to explore the struggles of a disturbed and creative mind but falls short due to its weak script and inadequate dialogues.
The film’s reliance on excessive narration through voiceovers detracts from the cinematic experience, making it feel tedious and uninspiring. This approach undermines the potential of visual storytelling, leaving the audience disappointed. Additionally, the plot follows Abir, who is betrayed by his first love, Nilanjana, leading him into a spiral of hallucinations and alcoholism. Eventually, he encounters an old monk-like figure, played by Chiranjeet Chakraborty, who guides him toward success. However, the final 10 minutes of drama fail to redeem the film’s overall shortcomings. Despite its promising premise, Buro Sadhu ultimately fails to leave a lasting impression due to its flawed execution and lackluster narrative.
