Review : Rosh : Relatable revenge story!
As the technology progressed a lot of things became easier for people. A lot of chores, which otherwise were time consuming, were made manageable without stepping out of the house. This includes #Banking where anyone having a net connection can transact from the comforts of his/her house or office. Majority of people have been indulging in cash or transfer transactions without going to the bank. This sure is a facility for the benefit of the customers, but there are loopholes which are dangerous. Hackers are making the life of many difficult by fleecing money in online transactions and these faceless criminals are difficult to nab as the authorities do not have the advanced techniques to solve these thefts. There is a web series, #Jamtara, which throws light on the modus operandi of these hackers. Similarly a recently released film #Rosh too deals with this subject with revenge as the main plot.
Rajat (Mimoh Chakraborty) is a computer analyst and is celebrating birthday of his girlfriend Alina (Alina Rai) in his palatial house. They have a common friend, a business associate and an ex girlfriend of Rajat, Ronika (Nikita Soni) for company. A delivery boy Ganesh (Yash Raj) brings a cake and somehow manages to linger around in the house. Just earlier Rajat, Alina and Ronika while returning home had indulged in a hit and run accident. They are keeping mum but Ganesh’s some of the statements startles them and they decide to get rid of him. But Ganesh has other plans as he starts revealing their black deeds and demands a hefty amount. There’s an another secret which has ruined his life and he is seeking revenge. What that secret is and why Ganesh is blackmailing these three forms the crux of the narration.
The plot had the potential to become a strong thriller but the screenplay is shoddily written. Though there are high points in the proceedings the director is unable to cash on it. He tells the story in a straight forward manner. This one-room thriller looks repetitive at times. But the proceedings do engage viewers attention despite no songs, barring one. The background score adds to the thrills of the proceedings. Mimoh Chakraborty plays a grey character convincingly and his action scenes are nice too. He should work on his dialogue delivery though. Nikita Soni and Alina Rai look sensuously good on screen but have nothing to offer in acting department. But the Yash Raj steals the show all the way. He displays range of emotions and make the proceedings believable. He’ll definitely benefit from this film. Brajesh Hirjee collects laughters in his limited screen time.
Rosh alerts you about bank frauds and the revenge drama entertains you.
