Omar, the latest thriller on the big screen, opens with a dramatic, National Geographic-style introduction. The powerful Ehsan Hossain Mirza, known as "Boro Mirza," sits in his luxury car, reigning over the city. His personal secretary Moti Mia is rumoured to be even more dangerous than Mirza himself. The scene shifts to a high-end hotel ballroom, where "Chhoto Mirza" (Little Mirza) is enjoying a dance performance by the "Viral Baby."
Things take a sudden turn when a young man named Omar creates trouble with Badi, Chhoto Mirza's secretary. Badi attempts to shoot Omar but miraculously survives. However, Omar can't shake the incident and later confronts Badi in Chhoto Mirza’s room. Tensions rise, and in the chaos, a stray bullet strikes and kills Chhoto Mirza. To cover up the crime, Badi forces Omar to help dispose of the body.
The two flee, but their escape leads them straight into the path of Boro Mirza’s car, setting off a heart-pounding journey. Will they manage to hide the body or be caught? The film keeps you guessing with unexpected twists that feel both familiar and refreshingly unique.
Though Omar may seem like a story you've seen before, it is anything but ordinary. With its tense plot and well-timed humour, the film stands out as a thrilling experience. The lead actors, Shariful Raj and Nasir Uddin Khan, deliver brilliant performances, especially in the gripping final scenes.
The supporting cast is equally impressive. Ayman Shimla's portrayal of "Fuli," a maid, is a standout, adding depth to the film. Shahiduzzaman Selim, Rozi Siddique, Irfan Mirdha, and Shibli also bring their characters to life. Even in brief appearances, Fazlur Rahman Babu and Abu Huraira Tanveer add energy to the film.
A special mention goes to Dorshona Banik, whose performance in the item song is so well executed that it becomes a highlight of the film. Her dance and expressions are perfectly aligned with the storyline, making Omar an unforgettable cinematic experience.
Directed by Mustafa Kamal Raj, Omar masterfully blends crime, suspense, and comedy.
