Story: It is a story of a shooting team in which the superstar rediscovers her childhood and gets to know her fiance better

Kaushik Ganguly’s Chhaya O Chhobi is not a flawless film. Some may say the beginning is flippant, the prelude, a tad too lengthy and that it’s your basic film within a film. Moreover, there’s always this sense of ‘something is going to happen’ but all leads seem to go nowhere. The intrinsic feel-good factor of the film makes it watchable.

The drama begins in the post-demonetisation scenario. NRI documentary-maker Maya (Churni Ganguly) is making her first Bengali feature film, which is produced by her father (Barun Chanda). Superstar of commercial Bengali films, Rai Chatterjee (Koyel Mallick), is the female lead of Maya’s film. She comes and takes center stage, outshining other actors during the shoot, including her fiancĂ© and the film’s male lead, Arindam (Abir Chatterjee), and co-actor Mou (Priyanka). Demonetisation woes hit the shoot and get more difficult when Rai suddenly disappears. In the meantime, the actress, who’s an alumnus of a Darjeeling private school, rediscovers her childhood during her escapades accompanied only by her driver Jeetu (Ritwick Chakraborty).
While the first half of the film suffers from sloth progression, things become a tad better in the second half. The plot is skillfully manipulated and comes to a good make-believe end. With immaculate cinematography by Gopi Bhagat, we see a glimpse of picturesque north Bengal. However, the music fails to impress.

Meanwhile, it has once again been affirmed that there can never be a moment of dullness when Ritwick is around. There is this particular scene when Jeetu is accused of theft and Rai conducts a body search. Well well well. It was a minute of sheer brilliance that shows the heights his histrionic abilities can achieve. Abir too is quite convincing. With his bearded look and dapper appearance, he is quite entertaining. Churni is an added attraction. She doesn’t come too often, but when she does, she does it with aplomb. Though Priyanka’s character, Mou, doesn’t have many layers, the actress pulls it off successfully. Lastly, though Koyel looks stunning in the film and portrays the loneliness of a superstar comfortably, the more complex side of Rai remains untouched by the actress. She is a bit too loud when reacting to Mou’s allegations against Jeetu.

The film could’ve been tighter and shorter and is definitely not one of the best creations of Kaushik Ganguly. Having said that Chhaya O Chhobi is definitely a one-time watch for its picturesque portrayal of north Bengal and Ritwick’s brilliant performance.
