Aparadhi is the intriguing title of this Prosenjit-Priyanka-Victor Banerjee masala mix in the name and style of Bengali pop melodrama, where one does not know till the end who the aparadhi is. To get back to the story, it is about Prosanto Mullick, a business magnate who is very happy with his wife Debi (Laboni) sans kids. The minute she gets pregnant however, he does not care for this gift after ten years of a barren marriage because he does not wish to share his wife with twins. However, to add another twist to the story, the older of the two, Arjun (Prosenjit) is kidnapped as an infant by one Charandas (Sanjeeb Dasgupta) who wants to avenge his insult by Debi, for whom he had a soft corner for in college. But when chased by the neighbourhood, Charandas dumps the baby into the community dustbin. The baby is picked up by Rahmat, the neighbourhood thief. But Debi suspects her husband of having killed Arjun, falls off the stairs, loses her memory and her sanity. Prosanto is jailed for 14 long years. Arjun grows up to become the neighbourhood Robin Hood, saving Charandas’ beautiful daughter Nandini (Priyanka) from a bad marriage. The two fall in love and begin their song-and-dance routine around the trees and hills while Prosanto, out of jail and back to business as if the 14 years never happened, is hell-bent on revenge. Akash, the second twin who had disappeared from the script since Arjun’s kidnapping, comes back from abroad as a trained psychiatrist who wants to bring his mother back to normalcy. Thus, the script meanders along merrily through the labyrinthine twists and turns of melodrama, incidents and events till Arjun brings the evil Charandas and his cronies to book, Prosanto is thrilled to learn that Arjun is in fact the twin he lost in infancy while Debi gets back her memory and her sanity to live happily ever after.

Technical Expertise
The film is spilling over with logical lapses that are just too much even for this deluxe masala dosa. Arjun’s twin Akash looks at least 20 years his junior, complete with podgy cheeks inviting a kootchie-koo, breaking every rule in twin genetics. No one knows what happens to Akash and his girl-friend’s love story because no one mentions it in the end. The white streaks in Debi’s hair in the opening song when she is playing the piano disappear the moment she gets pregnant. Why Prosanto gives Charandas Rs 3 crore to start his own business no one knows. Some friendship! What makes Charandas make overtures to Debi, now the mother of twins, remains a mystery. What Arjun and Rajjak do for a living is not the script’s concern and should not be the audience’s either. There is nothing great about Bappi Lahiri’s music nor is there much to talk about the lyrics. The editing could have been crisper with at least 30 minutes chopped off the film’s footage without damaging the continuity or the story.
The two plus points are Prosenjit ,who tries his best to infuse some life into an otherwise incredible role and Rana Dasgupta’s cinematography.
