Kahaani tells the story of Vidya (played by Vidya Balan), a pregnant woman who sets out to find her missing husband, Gaurab (played by Parambrata Chatterjee). As she navigates the complex web of Kolkata's underworld, she encounters a series of mysterious events and characters that lead her to question everything she thought she knew about her marriage and her husband. The film's title, Kahaani, which translates to "story" in English, is a fitting description of the narrative's non-linear structure and multiple storylines.
A gripping thriller with strong performances, intricate plotting, and social commentary. A must-watch for fans of Bengali cinema and thriller enthusiasts alike.
Kahaani: 4.5/5 stars
