Synopsis

Dawshom Awbotaar

2003: Probir Roy Chowdhury is a serial killer expert who is notoriously ill-tempered and foul-mouthed. In 1999, he nearly missed suspension orders (thanks to special permission) owing to allegiance against custodial death. At work, Amit Kumar Srivastava, his colleague advised him to control his temper. At a bar, Probir encounters a young energetic yet short tempered Inspector Bijoy Poddar. The city of Kolkata becomes the stage for a series of gruesome serial killings, using a modus operandi inspired by the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. The victims targeted are influential figures in society, accused of heinous crimes or corruption. The Kolkata Police assign Probir, to address this escalating crisis. Poddar, who takes a keen interest in serial killing cases, joins Probir in this mission at the behest of latter's request to the high authorities. The duo immerses themselves in unravelling the motive behind the killings and the killer's peculiar obsession with mythology. Meanwhile, Poddar's origin was revealed: he was born in a brothel in Kalighat (and was implied to be the lookalike half brother of Paltan from Dwitiyo Purush)and tutors children from red light area.

They just seem to be interested in winning the who-gets-the-best-monologue match. They are approached by a guilt-ridden psychiatrist (Jaya Ahsan), who claims to know the murderer and is very sorry about not reporting that earlier, but that doesn’t bring any sense of urgency to the proceedings. These men just want to run in slo-mo and deliberate on the intricacies of the Bengali cuss dictionary. After about 150 mins of this, a resolution as obvious as the Victoria Memorial dome in the Kolkata skyline is achieved. But it is so full of loopholes that Bengali YouTubers can create a good 20 minute video out of them. For that, Srijit Mukherji should be thanked.
