It is feel like I am watching national geography channel or discovery channel and 2nd thing is there is nothing like "Rohosyo Bhed" which we saw in other kakababu franchisee's means kakababu did not solve any mystery in this film .. so I would suggest don't waste your time to watch this film..just because it is a kakababu franchisee's and bumbada is there in the film.. that is why I am giving 3 stars.

Not quite Kakababu
sutithi17 April 2022
Let me cut to the chase:
Pros
1. Susoenseful scenes of danger involving wild animals
2. Anirban Chakrabarti's acting
Cons.
1. Shamless contextual advertising marring the plot 2. Too much reference to Feluda and Lalmohan Ganguly. Almost as if Srijit knew his Kakababu didnt have it in him to carry the entire script on his own shoulders and therefore the desperate attempt to cling on to a character that Bengalis would warm up to with 100 % certainty.
3. Hardly any whodunnit angle. The bad man revealed himself and solved the mystery for Kakababu 4. A sorry Kakababu (in Sunil Ganguly's manuscripts, where did the old man go to highlight his hair I wonder?) and a sorrier Shontu ( i expect a more cerebral looking fellow as Shontu. How about Riddhi in the next one?)
Overall a good watch but a slightly disappointing one. I have said this earlier about Srijit messing with famous Bengali literature. If you do take up the job of fliming originals penned by folks like Satyajit Ray or Sunil Ganguly, you got to live up to a certain standard. Else, just film stories of your own. You do a much better job with originals (dwitiyo purush notwithstanding).

One-Time Fun Watch
SandipDuttaSandy5 February 2022
Finally the 3 years of prolonged wait came to an end. Watched the First Day First Show of #KakababurProtyaborton directed by #SrijitMukherji, followed by a great refreshment welcome bash.
Direction ( narrative style ) is far better than the previous two franchises. But Screenplay by him rendered sloth in some parts.
Adapted from the story #JongolerModhyeEkHotel by #SunilGangopadhyay, the film do has some edge-of-the-seat moments, with showcasing animals in their respective scenes were real, true & honest. But, the wilderbeast stampede sequence could not match upto the audience experience for poor CGI and VFX combined. So, the whole effort went zero. It reminded of the volcano sequence poor effects from Chander Pahar. The scene looked like that from a substandard video game.
Production by #ShrikantMohta & #MahendraSoni is applaudable to have gifted us with this amazing production.
Starring none other than the impeccable #ProsenjitChatterjee as the sleuth Raja Roy Chowdhury alias Kakababu and the dapper #AryannBhowmik as his nephew Santu always steals the show, but this time #AnirbanChakrabarti also did a good job playing #AmolDev with his moments. Riju-da ( the director ) himself gave us a visual treat with his extended cameo for unravelling the mystery of the missing 2 German tourists from the remote hotel in Masaimara. Watch the film to know more.
Cinematography by #SoumikHaldar deserves special mention for capturing the beauty of Kenya Nairobi's #MasaimaraForest region in such a large scale canvas. Has been his fan since #ChanderPahar.
Music by #IndraadipDasgupta is average, but the score is good.
Again a grt attempt by #SVF aka Shree Venkatesh Films for making and distributing such a massive production schedule of 12-13 days in Kenya.
Editing could have been at least 15 minutes crisper to make it a gripping and intriguing narrative.
Overall this Saraswati Puja is gonna be merrier with this film for all ages. Do visit ur nearest theatres to celebrate the comeback of Cinema to the theatres and the soon-to-be-demolishing pandemic.

Srijit did to Kakababu what Joel Schumacher did to Batman
sahil-masrur7869 April 2022
Kakababu Protyaborton is another dismal entry in Kakababu trilogy made by Srijit Mukherji. Pretty bad choice of story, but the director only wanted to showcase foreign locales. I'll give the positives (if any) and negatives down below -
Negatives - 1. The wooden performances from Prosenjit, Aryann, Srijit himself, and the extras. They just remembered the dialogue and read it like it is.
2. Distracting product placements from a biscuit ad to chocolate, even a cough syrup takes you out of the film.
3. The same drone shots. If you have watched Chander Pahar or Amazon Obhijan, the shots looks eerily similar to one another. Also the bland colour palate used in this kind of adventure movies is getting repetitive.
4. No true sense of adventure or mystery.
5. Background score and songs.
6. The tongue in cheek reference to Anirban Chakraborty being Jatayu (whom he played in Srijit's Feluda) is too many.
Positives -
1. Its the end of the series hopefully.
I really hope some better director with suitable actor adapts Kakababu in true sense and adapts the good stories which has thrills and doesn't need to focus on foreign location. Watch Sobuj Diper Raja instead or underrated Kakababu Here Gelen. Dare I say even Ek Tukro Chaand is better than this.

Good movie if you want to sleep in recliner
souvikchttrj6 February 2022
This movie show in svf really exceeds my expectation, The pop corn was good nachos was good, the recliner was wonderful. Overall had a great experience except the movie. I really recommend to watch this movie with your gf if do not get a chance to spend some quality time with your gf.
Should've been a 15-min movie
palpriyobrata4 February 2022
Story has hardly any substance - should've been a 15 min movie. Rest is filled up with shots of African Safari. Just because the cast & crew spent money to shoot in Masai-mara, the audience has to sit through 1.5 hours of safari stuff which is better shown in National Geographic.
Worst Kakababu movie ever
rupamsr-364985 February 2022
Worst Kakababu movie in the franchise. So much different from the book, includes lots of nonsense extra plots. It is a Discovery channel documentary than a movie. Srijit Mukherjee should stop making Kakababu movies.
Totally waste my time
vaskarbhatta25 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Although Kakababur's previous two movies were great, the story and acting of this movie has been very poor. The lowest quality movie I've ever seen for thriller, thriller and detective lovers. A rating should not be given. I was waiting with a lot of hope to know something new from this movie. But I'm disappointed. Watching this movie is like wasting time.
Had Grt expectations!!! Cudve been more exciting!!

Film review : Kakababu Protyoborton ( in theatres)
#sanjuzzreviews #kakababuprotyoborton
Directed by Srijit Mukherji, this is the 3rd installment of the Kakababu series, the first first two being Mishawr Roshoshyo and Yeti Obhijaan. I had great expectations frm this one but it left me a tad bit disappointed.
The storyline is very simple, Kakababu and Shontu are on a vacation in the African Savannah's where they get involved in a sinister mystery.
First the positives, Prosenjit and Aryan Bhowmik rock as Kakababu and Shontu. A surprise package is Anirbhan Chakraborti ( aka Eken Babu ) in a special role aping Jatayu from Feluda as the third musketeer.
Starts off very well with stunning views of the African forests, animals, quippy one-liners & the banter between the three protagonists. There is also a twist in the 2nd half that is interesting.
Now the things that I didn't like.... The story tends to drag with nothing happening for long periods of time. The story might have been a great read but when translated into a movie ... It pales a bit and makes u feel like u r watching an extended animal planet video. Thrilling moments sorely missed.
Crisp editing could've easy reduced the runtime by around 45 mins . Or it could've been released as a 3 part mini web series which would have appealed more to true blue Kakababu fans.
But hey.. don't be too sad, watch it anyways. Not a bad film and I'm sure many of my bangla bondhu's will enjoy it for the sheer nostalgia involved in seeing their childhood heroes and characters come alive on the big screen.
I'll go with 2.5/5 for this .. Adios 🙂

Here some Devians & Jeetians (Fans) are put their negetive comments. I think they are most interesed in South Indian Copy paste movie of Jeet & Dev, they can not be a lover of Bengali Cinema. So, Please ignore all negetive comments. Go to your nearest Cinema Hall and watch #Kakababur_Protyaborton.
Srijit Mukherjee & Prosenjit Chatterjee proved again their Skill.
Don't miss an Attracting Adventure of Kakababu in South Africa.

Animal Planet or Discovery Channel
swarnabindu-bhattacharya5 February 2022
It is not a movie at all. It's an adventure travel vlog. Wasted my money. Should have re watched Tonic or watch 8/12. Srijit is as usual nonsense. Saraswati Puja wasted. Now booked tickets for Tonic on Sunday to get me and my family refreshed and entertained.
Eminently unwatchable
arijitghoshmccombs9 April 2022
Poor man's Nolan has surpassed himself again. Every new effort is a new low, and spending any more time even writing a review is a waste of time. I'll now have to watch Gunda and Jaani Dushman back to back to wash down this taste.
Kakababu talking about Feluda for 90 minutes
kardolph17 April 2022
Couldn't last 15 mins
tahshinmahmud5 August 2022
Very very poorly acted. Specially the guy acted Shontu. Started watching this with huge anticipation, however, couldn't tolerate this for more than 15 mins. Prosenjit was way off actual Kalababu, guy who played Shontu should immediately stop acting and go to acting school first and director and script writers should learn how to direct and how not to ruin a great story.
Time-waste
avishekshopping8 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is a complete wastage of time. The story line is poor, and so is the over acting of Srijit Mukherjee! Simply playing around with puns and quoting Feluda made the plot even more worse. Pulling Feluda into everything is a bad idea.
Mishwar Rohoshyo was way better. The current one is the worst.

PLEASE DON'T WATCH IT IN CINEMAS!!!!!!

Review in Short - National Geographic Channel In Bengali.... No story No Plot No Suspense No Thrill No Action.... Only 1.5 Hours Of African Safari @ Maasai Mara National Park...Seems To Be A Traveling Vlog Rather Than A Movie....... Utter Nonsense..😑😑😑😑😑Please Dont waste your valueable Money & Time for this one.
A good movie!!

It is a murder of The Kakababu Story
aanbodgenomen15 April 2022
First of all, the story is not a movie material. As a result, it seems a waste of time throughout the movie-play. There were no proper reaction or reasoning behind any of the move from the main characters. None should go and waste their valuable time watching this movie.
Waste of time badly
RAFIQUL_ISLAM_RONNIE12 November 2022
I have seen very few such bad movies in my life. I wasted the time watching the movie, the whole thing got burnt. I just thought how to make a movie with such a bad story. The earlier parts were pretty good. The way "Kakababu" is presented in this episode looks like they went on a picnic. Then "Azaira" brought some Shoot, And when the dialogue seems to have been narrated by the artists,
In this busy life, I take out time to watch a movie, and if I forget to watch this movie, then I think what is the point of living? For example, Required Character 600 is needed to give a movie review. I think it is difficult to make a 2 hour movie because it has to be 2 hours long. Shame on the director of this movie. And kudos to dear Prasenjit sir.
It's so bad, it hurts
