**_Surongo is a mixture of Money Heist and Farzi._** Surongo tells the story of a man whose "gold digger" wife gave him a total mental breakdown because he had no money. The man started running after money and ultimately went for bank robbery. To review the film, I am dividing it into three categories: acting, story/screenplay, and direction. **Acting:** _**Afran Nisho**_ did two things here. He played the main role, and he alone carried the whole cinema. Nisho deserves double payment for that. **_Tama Mirza_** had the greatest opportunity to become a talkable character, but she missed that. I don't know how a director can finish the film without grooming another main character properly. She was the same as she was in her past films—no change whatsoever. In fact, her character doesn't change at all and does the same acting in every film. **_Mostafa Monwar_** got a short screen time, and even in that short time, he disappointed me. **Story/Screenplay:** In one sentence, the story is fully predictable. The first half got only the base of the story (character's backgrounds, etc). Isn't that mean the second half will be the main story to connect all the dots together? Yes, it did connect all the dots, but after everyone successfully predicted the story. Maybe the screenwriter didn't want us to forget the fact that Tama Mirza (Moyna) is a gold digger. That's why he tried to show the character Moyna digging gold whenever he could. Whenever the screenplay was getting boring, the screenwriter brought another gold-digging characteristic to let everyone know, "Yes, she is the one; she is the gold digger". **_Rafi's direction:_** Bangladeshi OTT brought Raihan Rafi to the industry, letting us watch his poorly made film or web series. But this time, Raihan Rafi tried not to mess up a single thing, and he was successful in that. Ignoring minor plot holes, it is a watchable film. **_Other aspects:_** Missed some important dialogue because of the BGM. Sometimes the BGM is too loud, and sometimes it's too low. It diverts the attention of the audience, as it did mine. The cinematography was good enough, but the color was a bit off. That yellowish tint in the entire film gave me a headache. Lastly, is this film watchable? Yes, watchable. But is it enjoyable? That is the question. Yes, this film is enjoyable if you watch films occasionally, don't pressure your brain with film logic, and cannot predict the story. **_Spoiler Here:_** > The title of my review is simple. This film mixes Money Heist and Farzi together. Arfan Nisho digs a tunnel to steal some heavy money but ultimately burns it to ashes.
