Vinci Da is a 2019 Indian Bengali language psychological crime thriller film directed by Srijit Mukherji, under the banner of SVF Entertainment Pvt Ltd, starring Rudranil Ghosh, Ritwick Chakraborty, Anirban Bhattacharya, Riddhi Sen, Gautam Moitra and Sohini Sarkar.[2][3][4] The music was composed by Anupam Roy with cinematography by Sudipta Majundar and editing by Pronoy Dasgupta. The film released on 12 April 2019. It was officially remade with an adapted story in Telugu in 2023 as Ravanasura.[5][6][7]

In March 2023, Mukherji revealed his plan of directing a prequel crossover of Vinci Da and Baishe Srabon, with Anirban reprising his role, as part of his planned cop universe (thereby making Vinci Da the second installment of the planned cop universe), to be releasing on Puja 2023. In April 2023, Jio Studios, in collaboration with SVF, announced the title of the film as Dawshom Awbotaar.

## Plot

[edit]

The story is narrated by Vinci Da, who learned the art of making prosthetics from his father. The story starts with the 18-year-old Adi Bose's father, drunkenly beating his mother. He asks his father to stop, but he does not. Tired of the everyday disquietude, he beats him dead with his cricket bat. He calls the police and ends up in a mental asylum. Meanwhile, Vinci Da's father dies, and he finds it problematic to earn a living because Tollywood does not appreciate his talent. His love interest, Jaya, is a stutterer.

Adi Bose, now an adult, is released from prison. He believes himself to be a "serial lawyer" by committing the crimes previously done by criminals he apparently delivered justice to. To carry out his heinous plans in a more effective way, he approaches Vinci Da as a director and tricks him into making the mask of businessman Shyam Sundar Jaiswal, who was acquitted in a 2500 crore scam. Adi Bose dons the mask, goes and robs a bank, killing a security guard in the process. Jaiswal is arrested immediately. Vinci Da realizes the truth when he sees the news the next day, making him distraught. The only thing that comes to his mind is the innocent security guard. He is unable to believe that his art can be used for crime. Sensing his reluctance to make more prosthetic masks, Adi Bose blackmails him with the videos he had taken while Vinci Da was creating the first mask.

Vinci Da is blackmailed into creating the mask of a politician's son, who was acquitted after driving his car on homeless people. Adi Bose drives a car on people sleeping on the footpath wearing the mask and frames the politician's son. Vinci Da is filled with grief and self-hatred after meeting the son of one of the homeless people killed in the massacre. He tries to convince Adi Bose that he is not a part of his crimes, but Adi Bose thinks otherwise. In the last and third instance, Vinci Da makes the mask of a rapist. Adi Bose wears the mask, kidnaps a girl from the road, rapes her, films the whole incident, and releases the clip to the media. The rapist, previously acquitted, is arrested and imprisoned. Tragedy strikes when Vinci Da finds that the girl raped is none other than Jaya. He is distraught. Jaya attempts suicide but is saved by Vinci Da in the nick of time.

Planning vengeance, Vinci Da meets Adi Bose at his home and poisons him. He then proceeds to wear a mask resembling Adi Bose and shoots a video proclaiming that he is taking his own life. However, Inspector Bijoy Poddar, who had met Adi Bose in the beginning, views his suicide clip and immediately detects the difference in the voices of the actual Adi Bose and the one recorded in the clip. He discovers the videos recorded by Adi Bose of Vinci Da at his home, and orders his arrest. However, Vinci Da and Jaya have fled the city, disguised as an old couple.

## Reception

[edit]

### Critical response

[edit]

Debolina Sen of The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "For a film that keeps you impressed with the rapid pace all throughout, it does have a predictable ending. Vinci Da is at best an interesting crime film, which has dollops of drama in the screenplay."[8]The New Indian Express wrote "Vinci Da" breaks every glass ceiling that the 'thriller' genre in India has ever encountered and savours the shards as they penetrate the very core of the concept of crime and atonement."[9]Business Standard wrote "Vinci Da" is a remarkable work for the way it blurs the lines of morality to show how easily a clever man can jump from the right side to the wrong. And how weak can be manipulated by the strong. It's also remarkable for showing the close relationship between crime and art, and between the criminal and his conscience."[10]
