Action

Sayantan Mukherjee’s Action stays true to its name. There’s enough dhishoom-dhishoom, enough drama, enough glam quotient… and enough action. When Raka (Barkha Sengupta), a hot, 20-something, gun-toting coal-mafia’s amorous advents are rejected by college-goer Akash (Om), she turns his life into a living hell. So, Akash, along with his family, flees Ranigunj in order to escape Raka’s wrath and joins a college in Kolkata under the alias of Rohit Roy. Here, he meets Rini (Megha Chakraborty) and romance blooms. But is Raka ready to let go off Akash so soon?

Directed by Sayantan Mukherje, Action leans on a strong ensemble — Om Sahani, Megha Chakraborty, Barkha Bisht — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2014.
