Khawto opens like a whisper that hardens into a command. The film — a Bengali-language psychological thriller from 2016 — positions itself less as a conventional whodunit and more as a study of appetite: for art, for fame, for manipulation, for the dangerous intimacy between creator and subject. If you come for tidy resolutions, Khawto refuses you; if you come for atmosphere, it will occupy your thoughts long after the credits fade.
