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.

- 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!
