Description: “Kakababur Protyaborton” is a 2022 Bengali film that takes viewers on an adventurous journey. The story follows Raja Roy Chowdhury, known as Kakababu, and his nephew Santu as they travel to Nairobi, Kenya, for a relaxing trip. They are hosted by a Bengali couple, Amal and Manju. Despite receiving a threatening call, Kakababu dismisses it as usual.
The adventure begins when Ashok Desai, an Indian businessman based in Africa, and his partner, Mr. Ninjane, invite Kakababu and Santu to visit their hotel in the Maasai Mara forest. Upon reaching the remote hotel, Kakababu learns about the mysterious disappearance of two German tourists from the same location a few days earlier. His investigation into the matter leads to serious trouble.
The film’s first half immerses viewers in the breathtaking beauty of the African savanna, offering a virtual safari experience. However, the visual splendor eventually becomes monotonous. The second half, though, is packed with thrilling encounters between humans and nature, keeping the audience on edge.
True to the Kakababu series’ tradition, danger is never far from the duo. Once Kakababu and Santu arrive in Nairobi, they are greeted with impending threats. Their stay at Hotel Little Viceroy (based on Sunil Gangopadhyay’s adventure story, “Jongoler Modhye Ek Hotel”) coincides with looming dangers that disrupt their plans.
The film’s cinematography by Soumik Halder is a standout feature, making it ideal for big-screen viewing. One of the most memorable sequences is the great migration of wildebeests from Maasai Mara to Serengeti, Tanzania. This scene, along with the thrilling challenges faced by Kakababu and Santu, adds excitement and makes the film a compelling watch.
