I just finished watching it last night and I don't know where all the hate comes from. Is it about representing Dhaka? How many of you ever left your Dhanmondi Banani and went to Puran Dhaka and shadar ghaat? The movie clearly says it's based on the gangs of puran Dhaka and I see them much nicely portraying that. Guess what? Puran Dhaka's slums are worst than the scenes of movie and gangs are scarier than what was shown. They showed our rivers brown where it's black lmao. Go have a look tomorrow. Atleast they showed cop cars and strong police defence which doesn't exist in Dhaka haha.
Coming down to the sepia (yellow) effect, try going out to USA or NZ and then back to Dhaka and the yellow effect will make some sense to you. Dhaka is covered in haze throughout summer where the sun rays get blended to haze. We don't notice it as we live in Dhaka. The movie has exaggerated it, I agree. But that's what Hollywood does with Kenya, South Africa and any warm country.
Coming to the movie, y'all mad as it was not loaded with multiple complex segments to drive your head crazy. It was simply, and much straight to the point like a Bollywood movie. I liked this little movie. The action was amazing, visuals were realistic and it was way emotional near the end.
All up, a nice movie. Lets not ask them to portray our city as something it isn't lmao. We know we got worst sides. Lets take it as a movie, and appreciate the people who worked behind it. A
