Could have been a masterpiece but faltered at the last hurdle, mainly due to the casting choice of the director. Parambrata has an easy going style of acting, but it is too stereotype, and it is high time somebody takes his place in the industry, as someone already has, the one very talented Ritwik Chakraborty. Another choice was Chiranjeet, though I heard Anjan Dutta was Srijit's original preference. He, however, did not do that bad, though Mr Dutta could have been a class apart. A thriller is bound to pivot around its climax and it could have been a clincher, if not for a weak performance by Param. This role was tailor-made for Ritwik. The director missed a big trick there. Ritwik could have clinched it for him in that last scene. Otherwise, the direction was masterful, Srijit himself is the real star of this movie. Use of colour, style of storytelling, cinematography, wonderful songs and their picturisations, all make it a worthy viewable experience. Would have wanted to give a 6.5, but IMDB not allowing so, sorry for being harsh here... 6/10.

I would've liked to rate this movie a '6.5', but unfortunately IMDb did not let me to do that, so in the end I decided to settle for six stars. The six stars are for the fact that the film had great potential to be an excellent one that leaves a lasting impression on the minds of the audiences deserving a whooping 7.5 stars , but somehow this one quite missed the mark,though not completely, and ended up being just about above average. Watching "Chotushkone" was deja vu in terms of my viewing experience for some of Srijit Mukherjee's other, widely acclaimed works like "Autograph" and "Jaatishwaar"- all well-executed plots with glaringly obvious loopholes that are rather hard to fathom and harder to digest, especially coming from a filmmaker of Mukherjee's caliber.All in all, a project well executed, with all the required ingredients for greatness like commendable performances, good music, a suspenseful plot with a twist ending that moves at an adequate pace to be able to cast its spell on its viewers and leave an impression. However, specific sequences of the film, especially towards the end are boiler plate, watered down versions that leave a lot to be desired. Like they say, the devil is really in the details.

A very well written story,solid direction by srijit with a visually tempting execution..with stupendous performances by the lead and supporting casts. Nice composition, Rare Suspense, Good Climax, Remarkable mix up between reel and real.Great story , superb performance by actors.. Mesmerising plot, unexpected twists and turns and melodious songs.. makes it worth watching.A great movie by Sreejit Mukherjee. Unexpected thriller. No doubt amazing acts. Songs are superb. Every thing is perfect. Many many thanks to Sreejit Mukherjee for giving us this types of wonderful movies. All the best.Overall a fantastic movie which will satisfy everyone and its worth your money. Lastly, I would tell that Parambrata has acted like a Pro Actor between others.

Srijit Mukherjee has taken Bengali cinema to new heights with movies like 'Autograph', 'Hemlock Society', 'Baishe Srabon' & 'Jaatishwar'. He surpasses himself with 'Chotushkone'. The plot is complex and gripping with a mind-blowing twist at the end. Aparna Sen, Chiranjit Chakraborty, Gautam Ghosh and Kaushik Ganguly give commendable performances. But among all these veterans it is Parambrata Chattapadhay who steals the show with his phenomenal performance. Cinematography is very good. Two great tracks further enhance the movie- 'Boba Tunnel' is a trademark Anupam Roy song and 'Bawshto ese geche' is melodious sung beautifully by Lagnajita Chakraborty. All in all, an excellent movie. Highly recommended.
