Balaram Karmakar is solid, with a few rough edges

Balaram Karmakar was the thing I kept watching in The Tales of Chandrabati (2020). Some scenes click, some just sit there. It is solid enough, but there are moments where it feels a bit on autopilot. The quieter stuff works better than the bigger beats. I would not call it bad, just not as sharp as it could have been. I like the idea of the performance more than the full result. It is less about one scene and more about the overall aftertaste.
