Operation Sundarban Movie Review: Enjoyable ‘Operation Sundarban’ with simple story

The Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world located in the southern part of Bangladesh. People of different trades in the region depend on this vast forest Life. The pirates have persecuted this people for more than 40 years. People are not protected from the pirates of the Sundarbans which not only includes other animals but also the Royal Bengal Tiger. In such a situation, the RAB Director General handed over the responsibility of freeing the Sundarbans from the pirates to the CO of RAB – 6 Ishtiaq Ahmed. He took an oath to make Sundarban free of pirates with the help of Lieutenant Commander Rishan, CPC – 1 Commander, and newly formed Sundarbans Squad Commander Major Sayem. On the other hand, Tania Kabir came to research tigers in the Sundarbans. Tania gets help from a local influential person who is also the owner of an NGO named Amjad Chowdhury. After the end of the pirate’s episode after one another CO Ishtiaq, Lt. Commander Rishan, and Major Sayem realize that these bandits in the Sundarbans are just chess pieces. An evil force is moving the wheel from behind. They ( RAB ) continue to fight shoulder-to-shoulder against this evil force. Starring Siam, Riaz, Nusraat Faria, Shatabdi Wadud, Roshan, Taskeen, Rawnok Hasan, Manoj Paramanik, Directed by Dipankar Dipon.

Directed by Dipankar Dipon with sparkling visuals, Operation Sundarban is an enjoyable movie. The audience can easily relate to the story.

Many were skeptical about the outcome of the movie due to the success of a special force and they’re being the producers. But this is not a documentary on the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), but a full movie. It was a challenge for the director to present such an issue-based story in the form of a movie, which he has managed to fulfill.

Despite the huge canvas and dense cast of characters, the story is easily predictable. ‘Operation Sundarban’ could not keep that much secret.

A little more care was needed in the character building of the movie. None of the characters, especially the victims, get any sympathy. Which is the weak point of the film. Siam Ahmed has done well in terms of range and character in the story. But according to the character, almost everyone acted well. Nusraat Faria’s character may seem unnecessary in this case.

Three songs of ‘Operation Sundarban’ were released before the release. As a result, there was an idea about the songs. Loved the combination of beautiful location and imagery.

Movies were dominated by action scenes or gunfights. Which can get annoying at times. But the technical side is the life of this movie. From the cinematography, editing and VFX will get good marks.

Overall ‘Operation Sundarban’ is an enjoyable film with a simple story. This film can add something new to the current wave of Bengali cinema.
