I can definitely say that Srijit Mukherji has cooked in Tekka and he probably has extracted the career best performance from Dev. Best thing was hearing Dev cussing, it was paisa wasool for that reason alone. Rukmini and Swastika were great as well. The film jumps straight into the action and maintains the pace & tempo keeping us on the edge. And that twist, I seriously wasn't expecting it dayumn. The climax was brilliant and concludes the film perfectly. There were a few massy elements ft Dev as well which was cool. And the way it tackles several social, religious and political issues without being preachy was commendable. In fact the message of communal harmony was very impactful. The film has everything to become a blockbuster this Durga Puja.

Chengiz is a paisa vasool entertaining masala film from Bengali industry after a long time. Jeet gave a solid power packed & intense performance. His action scenes and dialogue delivery are so convincing that you will be cheering for him all the way through the movie. The story is well-written and engaging, which is a refreshing change from the typical run-of-the-mill masala films. Neeraj Pandey's smart writing has added a layer of intrigue to the plot. His style really gets reflected here. Production value, action scenes & bgm are really good. Not even once will you feel that the budget is less or that it's a regional cinema, it feels so good to look at. The 3 songs don't feel forced and are bangers. The downsides for me will the lead actress Susmita, some bits of runtime and some supporting cast/plot elements which holds it back from becoming a perfect film. But anyways, the positives far outweighs the negatives and this is definitely a popcorn entertainment fun that deserves a watch.
