BAHURUPI !!!

BAHURUPI !!!

REVIEWED BY: ARINDAM SAIN

There is an age old saying indeed that 'Honesty is the best POLICY'; provided the system in which you are working is not full of HYPOCRISY. 'Tumi ki chor ?' 'O chor noy, dakaat.' 'Kon jwala te morchi ami, seyi dakaat ee bojhe.' Under the Left Front rule in Bengal, two things ruined the economy of Bengal; one was regular strikes inside the factories by trade union leaders and another one was the chit fund scam. Even almost all the cops were corrupted too, barring a few. 'Ghus neowa ta system.' Who was the real murderer ? Jail er bhaat khete esecho ?  Ragging inside the jail too !  Salim Khan had all his information and told him about the loopholes of the Indian Penal code. 'Sarkar jodi tomare maare, tumi o saala maaro Sarkar er.' 

Any branch of any bank on the 1st floor is always vulnerable to bank robbery even in peak hours. 'Bhalobeshe dakaati korbo !' Pori became Mrs. Ghosal. Bikram got released. Welcome to Chyanchrapur. What an eye contact by Jhimli; she stole his purse and he stole her heart. Dyang dyang kore taakaye KHAALI; ek tarfa toh noy, prem e o poreche oi maydamukho r BARIWAALI. Chotobela e shuntum bote, koito paratuto JYATHA; 'bujhli bhaipo, piriti kintu knaathal er AANTHA.' The cooperative banks are the State Government undertaking banks of the West Bengal government. Frequent robberies at several cooperative banks ! Who has to take anti-depressant pills on a daily basis ? Srimanta was having a tough time both in personal life and professional arena. 

A sound of an explosion ! Boom ! Who got an official handicapped card ? He did research on mental and financial conditions of the state government undertaking bank employees. 'Keu kakkhono eibhabe amar janmadin paalon koreni jaanen !' Even the dacoit gave back 30,000 bucks to the cashier to make the payment to a needy customer. His war was against the government, not against common people. The OC got the clue from an old register of a jail. Still the dacoit gang got success in Murshidabad. Trap was set and he knew it, but, didn't back out, as a challenge is a challenge indeed. Arrested but the game was not over yet. Cash got converted into jewels ! Those were ancestral jewels ! Who went behind the bar this time ? Barobabu ! autograph please, as you have written a book, "BAHURUPI".
