Mirza: Part 1 – Joker[1][2] is a 2024 Indian Bengali-language action thriller film co-written and directed by Sumeet-Saahil. Produced by Ankush Hazra under the banner of his production house "Ankush Hazra Motion Pictures", the film marked his first venture as a producer.[3] It stars Ankush Hazra, Oindrila Sen, Kaushik Ganguly, Rishi Kaushik, Priya Mondal and Shoaib Kabeer in the lead roles.[4][5][6]The action sequences are directed by RP Yadav .

Production difficulties, ranging from script disagreements and reshoots with Nexgen Ventures, postponed Mirza's release several times.[7][8] Finally, Ankush decided to produce the film under the banner of his own production house.[9] The first installment of a two-part film, it was released in the theatres on 11 April 2024, on the event of Eid.[10][11] The film received negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. A sequel titled Mirza: Part 2 - Tiger was announced at the post credit scene. But unfortunately this film doesn't work in the box office. From second day of release the shows remain almost empty. So there is hardly a chance for coming a sequel.

Production

Development

In 2022, Ankush announced the title of the film and the director. On 8 September 2022, the announcement teaser of the film was released, revealing his first look.[16] On the event of Mahalaya 2023, the teaser of the film was released.[17][18] Later, due to some difference and disagreement, Ankush decided to produce the film completely under his production house. He accused Raktim Chatterjee, the owner of Nexgen Ventures, for his mentality and background.[19][20]

On 9 December 2023, he released a new announcement teaser under the banner of his own production house's YouTube channel. On 13 February 2024, he released the teaser of the film, which was hugely criticized by the critics as well as the audience.[21][22]

Filming

After detaching with Nexgen Ventures, the filming started on 13 December 2023.[23] Most of the filming was done in Kolkata, Kumortuli and Odisha.[24][25]

On 31 December 2023, Ankush succumbed to an injury in the patella of his knee bone. He had to take bed rest and started shooting for the action sequences almost one and a half months later. He shooted for the other scenes in that time.[26][27] On social media, he mentioned that while shooting for an action film after almost six years, he realised why commercial action films are rarely made in Tollywood.[28] Later, Hazra said that he is using a body double for shooting a huge part of the action scenes. He also went under a surgery of his patella, after the release of the teaser.[29][30]

Marketing

On 13 February 2024, the teaser of the film was released on Ankush Hazra Motion Pictures Youtube channel, which gathered appreciation from the critics as well as the audience.[31] For marketing, ground level promotional events have been conducted in Medinipur, Berachampa, Barasat, Madhyamgram, Bardhaman, South Kolkata and Berhampore.[32] He has also given interviews with Oindrilla Sen to all the major Bengali film critics, youtubers and Bengali media including ABP Ananda and Sangbad Pratidin.[33][34][35] The music of the film was launched at an event at New Town, Kolkata.[36]

The trailer of the film was released on 31 March 2024 on Ankush Hazra Motion Pictures Youtube channel.[37] In total, the trailer has been released on the Youtube channels of 6 other large production houses of West Bengal, which is the largest ever trailer release for any Bengali film.[38]

Reception

Critical Reception

The film received mixed reviews from critics. Poorna Banerjee of the Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 stars. Reviewing the film on a positive note, she wrote that the film is an action-packed commercial entertainer with good performances and possibility of a sequel. Although she criticised certain loose connections in the plot, she praised the acting of the whole cast, the fast paced screenplay, the songs, well shot action sequences and witty dialogues.[44]

Shamayitaa Chakrabborty of OTTplay rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Despite being imperfect, Mirza is a valiant effort to bring commercial Bengali films back into business. She criticised the weak writing, loud BGM, songs and the stretched ending. But also praised the comic punchlines, fight sequences, acting of the whole cast and cinematography.[45]

On the other side a lot of backslash came from the common people & neutral reviewers. Basically according to the various report it came to the light that, the screenplay & dialogues of the film is very unbearable. The most weak point is the writing department. The film made a disastrous openning on Eid. On the second day many shows are cancelled due to no occupancy. The condition of box office is pathetic.
