CRITIC'S RATING: 3.0/5

STORY: A young lawyer reopens the case of Dhananjoy's hanging and finds that the verdict raises many uncomfortable questions

REVIEW: Despite its lengthy disclaimer, Dhananjoy makes it quite obvious that the director wants to gain the fullest mileage from this particular controversy, especially after the publication of the book, Adalat Media Samaj Ebong Dhananjayer Fanshi by Debashish Sengupta, Probal Choudhury and Paramesh Goswami.

But let’s believe the disclaimer and consider it a film free from any real-life resemblances. Dhananjoy is dark, grim, verbose and long. The film opens with a lawyer, Kavya Sinha (Mimi), depicting one of the recorded versions of a crime to her senior, Shibraj Choudhury (Koushik Sen). Hema Parekh (Anusha Viswanathan) comes back from school to her flat. Her mother, Surabhi (Sudipta Chakraborty), steps out to a local temple. A security guard, Dhananjoy (Anirban Bhattacharya), goes to Parekh’s flat to make a phone call and leaves after a while. Surabhi comes back and finds her daughter’s lifeless and semi-naked body in the lounge. She holds Dhananjoy responsible, and by the end of the first half, we see him executed. Kavya and Shibraj take up the challenge to establish that Dhananjoy may not be guilty and Hema could be a victim of honor killing, largely making up the second half.

Firstly, for a film titled after the character of Dhananjoy, there is very little of the man in the film. Anirban’s distressed expression has dominated publicity posters, but the character is packed off to the gallows by an interval. Anirban is a great actor and delivers an extraordinary performance within his limited scope. On the other hand, Mimi stays long — really long — on screen. And well, she talks a lot, especially in the court scenes. But to hold the audience by dint of her lines requires a training, intensity, and depth that is quite beyond her as an actor yet. Her performance is largely flat as a result — and also the weakest link in the film.
