Bhubaneshwar (Orissa) [India] October 16: Sometimes, a film comes along that feels more like an experience, and Khoka Bhai Tama Pain is exactly that. Directed by Girish Mohanty, this tribute to the legendary Akshaya Mohanty (Khoka Bhai) hits all the right notes—emotionally and musically.
Swaraj Barik, who we loved in Pratha, brings his A-game again. His portrayal of a young man whose life is guided by Khoka Bhai’s songs feels real and relatable. You can see the love, the heartbreak, and the healing through his journey, and it makes you want to root for him.
Lucky Manisha, making her debut, is a breath of fresh air. She fits into the film so naturally, you almost forget it’s her first time. Upasana Bhadra Mohanty’s negative role is another highlight and she makes her character so convincing that you can’t help but feel her presence in every scene she’s in.
