Premise

In 1976, Jaidev Singh finishes a gangster named Rashid Khan, a henchman of a local councillor, in order to avenge his parents' death and steps into the Calcutta underworld at the age of 16, where he starts working for a powerful gangster Md. Omar alias Nalli Bhai and also changes his name as Chengiz. After working with Nalli Bhai, in 1995, Chengiz starts to establish his own crime ring across Bengal, UP and Bihar, but his life changes when he has to deal with his maternal uncle ACP Samir Sinha, who is appointed to eradicate Chengiz's crime ring. Somehow in 2001, Chengiz managed to escape from Calcutta in disguise and the police failed to arrest him. At the end, in 2022, at Marakkesh, Morocco, Jaidev alias Chengiz (now old) is seen having lunch at a hotel, thus implying that he is still operating some parts of Kolkata from there itself (proving himself to be an era of the Calcutta underworld) and always keeping a constant close watch on his uncle Samir Sinha.

Reception

Critical response

Ujjainee Roy of The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Chengiz could make the team proud; it’s quite stately in production value and treatment. The action sequences choreographed by Stunt Silva are slick, well-timed and edited quite effortlessly with Jeet excelling in mano-a-mano combat scenes. The long gunfight sequence towards the climax, however, brings in too many elements. This can also be said of the film; it has too many players in the mix, and everyone is out to get Chengiz. After a point, you may stop caring about who’s the lesser (or the better) criminal." Shamayita Chakraborty of OTTplay gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Chengiz has a plot and fantastic action sequences but it lacks a convincing presentation. The film starts with sloppy acting and continues to reflect an iota of research as it progresses. Billed as a period film, Chengiz shows the ’90s Kolkata and yet the makers take no effort to make the period look convincing."
