"If Hindi cinema is an arrowroot biscuit and Bengaliness the cha it is dipped into, Ghosh's biscuit teeters perilously on the edge of collapse. Yet, with the expertise of a lifelong double-dunker, the filmmaker pulls it out intact. It is the dexterity with which Ghosh uses his tools -- Bangla, Balan and Bengal -- that draws us in as the film starts, before the plot unspools and we're plunged into a dark thriller."
