Piyalir Password Movie Review by Bangla Podcast:
Piyalir Password is a fast-paced, nail-biting medical thriller set in the backdrop of a medical research institute in Maryland. Piyali, played by Roopa Ganguly, a biomedical research scientist is unexpectedly found dead in her laboratory at an unearthly hour due to a mysterious gas leak. Rituparna, who plays the victim’s sister Rupa, has traveled from India to wrap up her sister’s legal formalities and execute her will. As she becomes involved in investigating her sister’s untimely death many uncertainties surface- is this just an innocuous accident or does it reek of foul play? Did Piyali fall victim to a deadly medical conspiracy or is her sister being overtly suspicious? As the plot unravels, Rupa is caught in a swirl of mystery in a foreign land as she struggles to get behind the truth and is forced to question other facets of her sister’s life. What is her brother-in-law concealing; does her niece know more than she dares to share? Who are Piyali’s colleagues really, are they as innocent and blameless as they seem? Is Samar, played by Sabyasachi, merely a friend?
The director has accomplished the task of pulling together stalwarts of the Bangla film industry in an effort to produce a movie of notable standard in spite of being handicapped by a low budget. This houses eminent actors like Rituparna Sengupta, Koushik Sen, Roopa Ganguly and Sabyasachi Chakraborty coupled with an international cast of actors from the US, South Africa, Russia and few other nations. Bickram Ghosh’s sound design establishes the reality of the tension, suspense and emotions. Being the first Bangla movie shot entirely in the US, there is a sense of credibility in the lifestyle depicted in the film. The scientific aspect, an intrinsic component of the plot focusing on Type A Diabetes and its medical cure, creates a thrilling suspense making the conspiracy very plausible and well researched. The director has effectively used robust imagery in conveying deeper insights as is indicated by the name itself. As a caveat to the future audience…. pay close attention to every detail of the film.

Looks like everyone commenting here drank from the cool-aid. Saw the movie, wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Yes, it has an international cast and that was the only redeeming feature of the movie. Talented actors and actresses got lost in a poor script and bad direction. The story was OK and could have been treated many degrees better without spending additional money. Sorry Raj, I understand it is an amature movie with little budget, but that doesnot excuse bad storytelling and vision for the movie. This is not to discourage you, but to encourage you to be better. Nothing worse for creativity then believing your own hype.
Pilayer Password opens the door towards a new generation of Bengali Cinema all over the world. Bengalis are now spread out all over the globe and a movie like “Piyalir Password” really brings them together. Kudos to Raj Basu for Making such a great Bengali Thriller like “Piyalir Password”.
