Moznu Kha's woes

Artist Moznu Kha, is a tragic tale, directed by Md Mehedi Hasan Jony. It is about a widowed street performer, living with his son.  As a starving artist, he cannot afford a proper meal for himself, let alone making ends meets. The protagonist was nicely portrayed by actor Afran Nisho. The film played homage to the works of the legendary Charlie Chaplin, in almost every other scene. The story is an experiment of putting Chaplin’s Tramp in a present day world. At the start it seemed like a comedy film, but the story turns out to be depressing one as it moves forward. However, the small slapstick skits every now and then, made the film a lot more bearable by adding some much needed humour. It is a mediocre film which tried to do something really gripping. Had it been paced a bit faster, it might have lived up to the hype. The story seemed really predictable; a screenplay that had a lot of potential but a poor execution in the making did not do justice to it. Nevertheless, it has its own charm. Next time, the director can give a little more attention on the pacing of the film. Rating- 2.5/5
