Beautiful movie
shello_jello4 July 2023
This movie is beautiful but I want to tell you . This type of men or boys exist too.

My father told me , when people have mental peace , once he earn everything .

Just we need to be patient , everything will achieve, because of hardworking.

The actor and actress are acting so well.

I feel real. Acting is super.

Good story, I like the story. The story was nice. Good direction. I like the direction. The direction was nice. Good music. I like the music. The music was nice. Good cinematography. I like the cinematography. The cinematography was nice. I have no more words to say about this movie, stop forcing me.

Good story that deserved a little more compact & better execution
sanjidparvez1 July 2023
SURONGO primarily comes with 2 acts...an introduction of a greedy wife, Moyna; how she manupulates and abuses her husband, Masud for money. In the 2nd act, the titular & more interesting 'Surongo' parts begins and I hoped this would get more focus from the beginning on a back and forth manner. Technically Rafi's film shines in the major areas i.e. Cinematography, lighting, background scores (mostly). The adult contents could have been handled more skillfully rather than throwing some random intimate scenes on the screen. Nisho & Shahiduzzaman Salim delivered best with their respective well written character arc. Though Toma Mirza did a competent job with her role, specially in dialogue delivery but with her "glamorous look" she felt kind of miscast for this part of a rural, deceitful femme fatale at times. The best part of the movie was its ending that will surely satisfy most of the moviegoers.

shawshank redemption inspired?
valfrae3 July 2023
Pretty good movie, better than most Bangla movies for sure. Funny at moments. All the actors did a good job, especially Afran Nisho, he did great. The makeup artist did a fine job as well. We could see Masud age throughout the movie, mostly due to stress lol. The plot seemed heavily inspired from The Shawshank Redemption (1994), but brought in a few new twists. Not the biggest fan of the ending tho. It was a very generic & predictable Bangla movie ending.

The cinematography and direction is commendable. Some of the songs were nice too. Hope to see more work like this from the Bangla movie industry.

Absolutely a good Creation by Raihan Rafi.
shohelahmed-2789430 June 2023
Don't watch it as a Bangladeshi movie. It's attention to details will please you.

At the very least, you will not be disappointed that's for sure.

I watched an unique & awesome Bangla specially Bangladeshi Movie after a long time. The plot & acting is totaly outstanding. I think every Bengali Movie lover should watch this movie to realise that we are not so far from others industry.

One of the Best Films in all times.

Bangladeshi Movies are having a bad time but this was absolutely a Blockbuster. I just love Afran Nisho's performance. Toma was good though. But Shahiduzzaman Selim's performance was La-Zawab.

I really felt the message through the movie.

Definitely Recommended. ;)

Just Wow 🔥🔥🔥
hrsuhel30 June 2023
In a word, amazing. Afran Nisho's first movie is "Surongo". I saw the movie on the first day of its release. The audience was overflowing. All the audience were very happy after watching the movie. I like the movie very much. Thanks to director Raihan Rafi Bhai for giving such a beautiful movie. Everyone's performance in the movie was excellent. Shahiduzzaman Selim's screen play was less but his acting was the best along with his comedy dialogues.

In one word "Surongo" is one of the best movies of Eid-ul-Azha. "Surongo" is Raihan Rafi's best work. Everyone Watch the movie "Surongo" without delay.

Disappointing... Afran Nisho is the only positive thing to watch.
pranabchaudhury4 July 2023
Despite the hype and marketing, this film falls short due to its poorly written script and amateurish execution, resulting in a disappointing experience. And if you're an evolved film audience, you can easily guess the main plot-twist. To me it misrepresents itself as a suspenseful thriller, but is actually a clichéd tragic love-story with no originality. With many tonal shifts, the central message revolves around the dominance of money and its role in love and tragedy like how women chooses money & sex over love, a theme seen countless times before in many films across languages. Afran Nisho delivers a commendable performance, yet it is not his best if one has seen his Natoks and TV performances. There's this chance this coming decade is going to be his, to truly shine, he should collaborate with talented directors instead of pseudos like this. Bangladesh possesses promising emerging filmmakers who deserve opportunities in commercial cinema.

Absolutely Mindblowing!. King afran nisho..🖤.No one can beat him right now.
sklhimu2 July 2023
One word to say must watch movie no doubt with that...🖤 1st half was slow but 2nd half it gives me real goosebumps here i must ensure that the cinematography was awesome here. The color the gradient is like as exactly the real life experience in any subject. As we see the character they build up with so much time is their utmost trying to fulfill their character goal is more satisfying. I think surongo is the first movie as it will be a milestone in the field of bengali cinema. If the dialogues of the film were written more properly, it would have been more beautiful in the cinema history. Best wishes for surongo.if anyone rating this movie under 7 then it will be envy or jealousy of fan who are not fan of this movie and the character or the well wishers.

Great yet predictable (only for cinephiles)
tazim-785681 July 2023
For the mass audience, Surongo is a great movie. Thrill, suspense, comedy, mystery it's all there. It's definitely not a family friendly film as it contains adult stuff and scenes (literally). Nisho nailed it as Masud. Toma Mirza's acting was somewhat believable but could have been realistic. Songs were good enough. The ending was epic too. Overall it's enjoyable and a great thriller.

As for the cinephiles out there, If you've seen enough thriller and mystery centric movies you'll definitely be able to predict what'll happen next during almost every scene of this movie (except for a SPECIFIC PART of the ending).

Excellent and undoubtedly awesome
djroobshtc1 July 2023
Excellent story with real life experience, nisho is awesome with any character. He is bangladeshi actors who can act anything as story wants. The director raihan rafi was excellent in previous movies and he did excellent as well.

Any bangladeshi should go for the movie and watch for nice movie experience. Who wants to watch must watch within this eid season while the cineplex is housefull because lots of people with help you to have fun together. Toma mirza did excellent job in This movie too. Always the supportive characters help in every scene, raihan rafi arranged good bgm in this movie. Best wishes.

Good but not worth the hype
sceptic-fromhell31 August 2023
There were a lot of hype around this one. It defintely did not dissapoint but it was not a movie which people would want to re-watch or talk about after 6 months. The story telling was okay, but in my opinion, it could have been much better. Nisho did well, but its not his finest performance for sure. Toma and Mostafa Monowar were better. Didn't like the character Apple Khan, his imposed Chittagonian accent seemed unnecessary. An actor like Shahiduzzaman Selim should've been utilized more effeciently. Background sound was very loud and I had a hard time understanding the dialogues. Now some good parts of the movie, color grading was top notch, cinematography was amazing and location fits the story perfectly. There weren't too many unncecessary scences. And I don't think it was a "18+" movie. There were some intimate scences, but people who will watch this movie most of them have seen way worse.

Masterpiece movie
'Suranga' is undoubtedly Raihan Rafi's best work. The technical aspects are almost perfect, the acting is extremely good, the direction is excellent - and this makes 'Surang' an extremely engaging and entertaining movie.

Afran Nisho made his film debut with 'Suranga'. He has condensed all his years of experience in drama, OTT content in this movie. In the role of 'Masood', he made the audience laugh, cry and clap their hands for him. Why a naive electrician was forced to dig a tunnel and steal money - Nisho has established this fact in the movie with his craft. Nisho's physical acting, small expressions, dialogue delivery - everything was top notch.

dbhi-597482 July 2023
This movie is the best among all the movies I have seen because this movie has some feeling which I can never express in words but in one word this movie is amazing this movie has everything like Love hate etc. Arfan Nishu Bhai's acting is on another level as always. I will always try my best to always give this beautiful movie to my brother. You go on like this, we're I'm with you Brother, never despair because despair leads people to decline. You did the right thing at the right time. I love all your decision thinking and I love each other's styles want to be like Brother, in one word, you are incomparable.

awesome movie,must watching movie
zarifraselhossain1 July 2023
Superb entertaining movie and also superb acting by arfan nisho. An entertaining, realistic story. Amazing camera work overall likeable movie. Arfan Nisho's acting can't be compared to anyone else's acting. Nisho is the boss of acting. It was also the best work of director Raihan Rafi's career. All the aspects of this story are presented very beautifully and fluently. I hope he will give us more good works in future. Everyone who played the other characters did their best. Mustafa Manwar, Tama Mirza, Sahiduzzaman Salim thank you all. Hope they act regularly in movies. It was a very good job. Everyone should watch this movie.

My review
chowdhurynaim17 July 2023
Its not a best ever movie..its a good movie. The movie is good only because of Afran Nisho acting. Story is good but some unwanted scene & language was not necessary. Others characters acting was average.story was good but not the best ever. It is not possible to watch this movie with children. The director should have kept this in mind. The movie making is very good. The movie would have been good if not for some bad scenes. There was no space for criticism. Overall its a good movie but not the best movie. Earlier we have seen the best movies of many famous actors and famous directors in Bangladesh.

The movie was too good. Congratulations Nisho bhai & Raihan Rafi bhai. Warning: Spoilers
The movie was too good. Cinematography, scenic views, overall everything was very good. This movie seems like a Malayalam movie to me. I want more movies like this in Bangladesh. The uninteresting love movies of our country are not good anymore. May something good happen to our movie industry. Everyone should congratulate Nishu Bhai. Crazy fans of Shakib Khan want only Shakib in Bangladesh. That can't happen. When someone is new in the industry they spread negative reviews on it. It's not right.

How much did a class of people react to this Hawa before and after the release, how many negative things they said, Chanchal Chowdhury's performance was also talked about by that class of people, they also called the movie a drama.

That Hawa became a blockbuster beyond everything.

A few days ago, the movie Takdir was remade in South. And today I saw that an Indian channel will show Hawa movie and started campaigning about it. Do you want to laugh after seeing them??

Don't you feel proud?

This Eid has started that joke about the Surongo.

What do you really want??? Don't you want anyone else to come and do something good in this industry??

Yes fans will have light fights but what happens in this country is nothing but filth and stupidity.

I don't know if this is seen in any industry outside who wants only one person to stay and no one else comes.

Sad to say, the reality is that despite doing hundreds of pictures, he has not had a picture that he can boast of with the outside pictures.

Still surviving only because of the fanbase. Korean, Malayalam and other industries are nothing to her fanbase. Someone once said in the comments that who watches those industry movies?? Any movie?

To them, the movie means only romantic action movies? Can't be any kind of movie?? I really want to know this.

Very slow but worth the while.
anikrahman-826182 March 2024
The story moves very slow. At some point you will feel annoyed and bored but the climax will compensate all the boredom and annoyance. And I guess that was the goal of the script.

The acting of Afran Nisho is great. The emotions he conveyed will surely make the watcher feel for the character. He really studied the character and executed the part with excellency The timeline of the movie is a bit laggy like I said. But .the climax gives all the answers and reasoning.

Watching the movie, you almost feel like why am I even wasting my tme like this. Just have patience, don't skip and you will not be disappointed.

In summary, the movie is worth watching.

Great Movie
mehedihasanshovon30 June 2023
Very Impressive performance by Afnan Nisho, Toma Mirza, Shohiduzzaman Selim and others. Great direction by Raihan Rafi. There are Love, Emotion, Romance etc. Very good songs. Item songs done Nusrat Fariha Mazhar was good. Cinematography very impressive. Color grading, Editing all were very Impressive. Award winning performance by Superstar Afnan Nisho. Toma Mirza as Moyna was very beautiful and charming. Sound system was good too. First half was less impressive, but Second haf was the best. Nail biting performance by actors. Shahiduzzaman comic timing was very good. Overall a good movie for Eid Festivals. A Family movie.

Surongo Movie Review - No Spoiler
Rafi's Thrilling 'Ride'... Breathtaking 'Tunnel'...

I wanted to watch all the movies this Eid. But I don't know how much it will be possible in the end with various engagements. However, I was impressed by Rafi's 'tunnel'. The story is about the traditional sin of greed and the consequences of defeat by sin. But the classic story is made unique by the excellent production and screenplay. Great location, sets, art direction... BGM treatment is superb. And acting ... Afran Nisho is a proven actor, he has nothing more to prove himself. But still his debut on the big screen is great! He blew away all the whispers, doubts and doubts surrounding his debut. Undoubtedly a royal arrival.

Tama Mirza is really amazing. He broke his familiar pattern and turned into another skill. This Tama will go far.

And Shahiduzzaman Salim is the batsman who hit the last ball six in the cameo innings to win the team. Awesome!

Nazim Uddoula is great in screenplay. Scenery, songs, sudsing. But the dialogue sometimes seems repetitive. Could have been more focused here. And it's a personal feeling, even if the item song is not possible in this movie, it would not have reduced its appeal.

But these are just things to avoid. Because, a compact package tunnels for an amazing thrill ride. Hats off to Rayhan Rafi and the entire team.

Nisho in Big Screen
sumanbd-619601 July 2023
Nisho is best in his acting. His delivery is really awesome. The movie and the story is masterpiece I must say. Awesome movie. The character made by Rafi is really brilliant. Before this movie Rafi made few other brilliant movie and people are accepted. Arfan Nisho is from Tv Star but in ott platform he doing some massive work and brilliant. In OTT web film like Morichika, Redrum, Sindicate, Kaiser Pynorjormmo series wes massive success in his career. Besides he played lot's of TV commercial and drama which really good. Surongo is brilliant work. One of the best acting I have seen. I thanks both Rafi and Nisho for their brilliant collaboration and big success.

Rayhan Rafi's latest Bangla movie is an absolute masterpiece, featuring outstanding performances by Arfan Nisho and the captivating Toma Mirza, making it a must-watch for all.
akibjakaria-194207 July 2023
I stopped watching Bangla movies ten years ago due to their lackluster stories. While some films had good plots, they failed to live up to the hype. However, after watching this masterpiece by Rayhan Rafi, I can't help but appreciate his work. If Rayhan Rafi keeps making movies like these, Bengali movies will be widely recognized. I don't need to say much about Arfan Nisho; we all know he is a tremendous actor. But Toma Mirza (I learned her name after watching this movie) made the plot intriguing. I believe she is the perfect choice for the role of the complex character "Moyna," portraying her flawlessly.

Excellent making but missing a good story
ashrafsonyliving17 July 2023
Just watched the movie. In my observation, the movie is lacking a good story. To me I felt like watching another crime petrol episode. We have seen many dramas on similar stories. One thing to mention about the item song. The dancer (Nusrat Faria) doesn't have an attractive body to do such item song (imported Indian concept), specially the upper belly looks very fleshy. Tama Mirza acted her best as Moyna. Also Mostofa Monwar acted nice as Zahir. Afran Nisho acted as usual in the character Masud but I am unable to feel the emotions of the original surongo maker in reality and couldn't justify the reasons shown in the movie for making such a surongo. A person who can make such a tunnel to steal money, could have achieved many things if were guided accordingly! Also, can we avoid the slangs? Looks like its becoming a bad tradition to utter the raw-dirtiest-slangs in the movie after "Hawa".
