Aamar Pratigya is a predictable Swapan Saha tale from start to finish.

First half: A family of four — the righteous hero, his grief-stricken mother, hapless sister and villainous brother — lives on the foothills of North Bengal (or on the green lawns of Ramoji Rao Film City). Then a rich girl falls for the hero but his brother makes life difficult for them. The heroine gets four scenes and three songs around the trees, while the hero mouths all the fiery dialogues.

Post-interval: An item number in the villain’s den before the final battle begins between good and evil. The family reunites; boy marries girl and they pose for a pretty picture. The end.

The only thing to look forward to in Aamar Pratigya is Priyanshu, the lanky, handsome hero of Tum Bin. He is eye-catching in glares and T-shirts, riding a motorbike. Performance-wise, Priyanshu is good in bits and pieces because Saha’s wafer-thin plot doesn’t leave much for him to do.

The blood-and gore saga begins when the hero’s zamindar father throws him out of the house for a crime committed by his elder brother (Rajatava). Then on, Priyanshu moves around with blood-shot eyes chewing Fatakesto dialogues — Shurute batam, intervaley hospital aar climaxey chulli, for one — that evoke neither fear nor fun.

Priyanka Trivedi, who hasn’t been able to make a mark since her comeback post-marriage and motherhood, does a good job of looking pretty in chiffons. But that’s all. Pauli as Priyanshu’s distressed sister is average, while Rajatava shines as the hero’s malevolent elder brother.

The climax of Aamar Pratigya is the Rituparna-Priyanshu item number. It’s a pleasant surprise, and the two do manage to sizzle.
