To catch a killer

Rating: 2/5
After the multiverse created by Marvel
& the cop universes by Lokesh Kanagaraj & Rohit Shetty director
Srijit Mukherjee comes up with his cop multiverse in Dawshom Awbotaar where
some characters exist in different timelines albeit simultaneously which is a
matter of concern as you see a Probir Roy Chowdhury (from Baishe Srabon &
Dwitiya Purush) joining hands with Bijoy Poddar (Vinci Da) to catch a serial
killer on the loose. But somewhere down the line barring the Tango & Cash
& Bad Boys kind of bonding between Probir & Poddar nothing seems to be
working in the film. Even the so-called highlighted romance between Poddar
(Anirban) and Moitryee (Jaya) is tepid in comparison to the cop pair.
Police officers, an alcoholic and foul-mouthed Probir Roy Chowdhury (Prosenjit Chatterjee) and a street-smart Bijoy
Poddar (Anirban Bhattacharya) join hands to stop Bishwaroop (a fairly good
Jisshu Sengupta donning many disguises), a serial killer on the prowl who
killers according to the Vishnu Puran of Dasavatar. The cops are aided by a
psychiatrist Moitreyee (Jaya Ahsan) who claims to be treating Bishwaroop for
his mental illness and wants him to go to an asylum rather than be encountered.
The director has used so many cuss words
in the film mouthed by Prosenjit that one wonders if it was necessary in the
first place or was the director trying to make a film for the OTT. The film has too many convenience-based scenes and loopholes and
even the twist in the end is laughable. Also Srijit couldn’t decide whether the
character of Moitreyee was a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Yes, the chemistry
between Prosenjit & Anirban is sparkling which makes you sit through this
otherwise uninteresting film.
Srijit Mukherjee like many of his films in
the recent past has made a fool of the audience once again and taken them for
granted.
