Bongo, the biggest streaming video-on-demand service in Bangladesh, will today release ‘Ratsasan’ aka bangla dubbed ‘Noropishach’ - a South Indian blockbuster psychodrama thriller from 2018 starring Vishnu Vishal & Amala Paul and based on a true serial killer story.
The story is about passionate film director Arun Kumar. Constant rejections in his attempt to pursue a career in filmmaking, and his family constraints, force Arun to let go of his dream and take up a job as a police sub-inspector.
The storyline for the dark psycho thriller, directed by Ram Kumar, was developed over four years. A lot of research on serial killers was implemented into the plot. Especially the story of the Russian "Siberian Ripper" Alexander Nikolayevich Spesivtsev who brutally killed more than 15 children inspired Kumar to realise ‘Ratsasan’ aka ‘Noropishach’.
The film starring Amala Paul & Vishnu Vishal was released on 5 October 2018. It received critical acclaim from the audience, and became a big commercial success.
Besides the thrill, the movie also offers obligatory romance. The Heroine is Amala Paul who plays the character of Bithi, a teacher which Arun is smitten by. The music by Ghibran is notable too.
The romantic parts are nicely blended while the spooky, almost wall-to-wall score actually amps up the tension and lends an edge-of-the-seat vibe to the story.
About this movie of the month, Bongo's Head of Licensing and Distribution, Karoline Hoeppner, said, “We hope our audience will love the thrill of this movie and check out our other South Indian Blockbuster movies too."
