Movie Review of Kahaani by Chandra Mehendrou

****
Kahaani- A fast paced emotional drama !
For a brilliant movie like this one, the four stars are for the 4 assets of the movie that’s going to surpass everybody’s expectations. The four assets are: 1) Vidya Balan 2) Setu‘s Cinematography 3) Story by Sujoy Ghosh and Advaita Kala 4) Sujoy Ghosh‘s Direction of course. 
Review of Vidya Balan's Kahaani
 Vidya Balan has done it again, she plays the part of Vidya Bagchi with utmost dedication and sincerity. Vidya Bagchi is a 28 years old, pretty, intelligent, urban and seven months pregnant woman who is looking for her missing husband. With great determination she reaches Kolkata from London to find him out. The plot of the story is not as simple as it sounds. The story is unique and in fact one of the biggest pluses of the Flick. We don’t want to give out the complete thing but we can say that Arnab Bagchi is played by Indraneil Sengupta (a Bengali actor) who goes to Kolkata for a software consultancy project with the National Data Centre (NDC). The first two weeks of his visit pass by very smoothly. The couple Arnab and Vidya chat daily and look forward to meet soon, but out of the blue, all communication from Arnab stops and he becomes untraceable. Extremely Worried about her husband’s well being, Vidya arrives in Kolkata who is alone in an unknown city.
Kahaani Gets a 4 Star Review

Vidya begins her search with the festival of ‘Durga Pujo’ in the background. Moving on, Vidya goes to the hotel where her missing husband had stayed, which actually is a down market guesthouse, something that could not have been possible. The manager of the guest house too insists that no Arnab Bagchi had ever stayed over there.  The Baffled Vidya Bagchi still continues to stay in the guesthouse. The next day she goes to NDC’s office but over there too the HR manager tells her that he had not sanctioned any assignment for any Arnab Bagchi. Vidya is completely aghast but she goes to the police station and files a missing person report. The police help her in her search, only to later tell her that both London and Kolkata immigration have no record of anyone by the name of Arnab Bagchi, leaving London or arriving Kolkata. The police  request Vidya to return home to London lonely and clueless. They feel that her husband had left her knowingly but they don’t have the heart to say this to a pregnant lady, who had come all the way looking for her husband.
But Bagchi is adamant to find out the truth and stays back to meet Agnes the HR manager of NDC who tells her that Arnab looked exactly like an ex-­employee of NDC called ‘Milan Damji’. That’s when poor Vidya feels completely lost and yet more intrigued to find the truth.  But her problem ceases to increase, as that night Agnes gets murdered and both the police and the Intelligence Bureau interrogate Vidya, as she was the last person Agnes had called.
The IB department becomes unsupportive and difficult. The name and the person Milan Damji who is the only clue to help Vidya find her husband, is not someone they are highly intrigued by.
Vidya is pressured to to return to London immediately. But once again she decides to stay back, against all odds and warnings to continue her search and get an ANSWER…

Btw, Its true that I promoted this film on Social Media Platform, and also met Vidya Balan and also did a personal Interview with her for MovieTracker.in, but that's not the reason why I say that this is an awesome movie to Watch.
Kahaani really is amazing and yet another brilliant performance by Vidya Balan, it's no where close to what you would have thought about the film. Get ready to get your Mind's Blown (that's exactly what Vidya says about this film). Whether Vidya Bagchi would be able to find her husband or not ? To know who is Milan Damji? Why is it that the country’s most powerful department, the IB, gets all worked up by Milan Damji’s information? Who had killed Agnes and why? To get answers to all such questions you need to hit the nearest cinema halls and watch Kahaani and trust me you won’t regret doing so.
