Reviews
The film "Bony" received mixed to negative reviews upon its release. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 4.3/10, reflecting a largely tepid response from viewers. Critics have pointed out that while the film attempts to weave an intriguing supernatural thriller, its execution falls short in delivering a compelling narrative and engaging character development. Reviews from local critics noted that the film’s pacing was uneven, and the suspense elements were not effectively sustained throughout. Some reviewers appreciated the atmospheric visuals and Parambrata Chatterjee's effort both as director and actor, but many found the plot predictable and lacking depth. Despite its ambition to bring a fresh perspective to Bengali thrillers, "Bony" was seen as an underwhelming effort that could have benefitted from tighter scripting and stronger performances. The film did not garner ratings on major aggregator sites like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, limiting broader critical consensus. Overall, while some audience members found elements of interest, the critical reception was largely lukewarm, underscoring a disconnect between the film’s potential and its final execution.
