I was hoping that it will be something different from the "almost same plot" movies we see usually.But I'm so so disappointed that it's not up to mark.The story was undoubtedly exciting,but the direction,graphics,and the most important part-acting was really poor.I only gave it 4 star for the El-Dorado scenes.It was an excellent job to build such a magnificent city.

Movie Reviews
Wasted my time
Dang!!! All these one star reviews....
I aim to give 5 stars, I would have given more but one part of the story was not right. The romantic in me says this. An adventure movie, yeah, too many needless deaths by anaconda etc, the scenery was gorgeous, so the 5 stars. I've read the book Chander Pahar many years ago as a kid, so to watch a sequel to that was excellent. But the part, the romantic in me could not understand...Hence only 5 stars and not more, is the dude/hero of the movie, Dev sails off into the sunset at the end. What kind of ending was that????? Didn't he see the spark of love in the girl's eyes??? Comeon!! You spend pretty much the whole movie with the heroine, from India to Amazonia, saving her multiple times from all sorts of dangers, and being with her till the end even after the death of her father, but at the end you sail off to India....leaving her behind. Where was the happy ending???? Bollywood ....if Bollywood made this movie, would have had a happy ending.
Amazon Obhijaan Review: Undoubtedly an adventure of a lifetime!
Movie: Amazon Obhijaan (UA): Action/Adventure - Bengali
Positives:
- The film is technically very strong and right from the first scene you're pulled into the film's atmosphere.
- Dev's performance is excellent as Shankar and he looks to be a real adventurer. Other actors also deliver good performances.
- The thrills work big time and can make you hold your breath.
- The action scenes are also very well shot and executed.
- Most of the film's excellence has to do with the cinematography, adventure and locales. You get the feel as if you've accompanied the characters on their adventure.
- The CGI is very good though it may not be flawless but given the film's budget, I was very impressed with the effects.
Negatives:
- The editing in some portions could've been a bit better.
Repeat value: Yes
AMAZON OBHIJAAN is the first Bengali film I have seen in theatre with English subtitles. I couldn't wait for the Hindi dubbed version so I watched it in its original language. And I came out very impressed, telling others about the excellence this film has. It's a must watch, but as the lead actor Dev said on social media, "You're making a mistake if you're going to watch it alone", go watch it with your family and have fun, as it's also a clean and family-friendly adventure!
