Shontaan

It's a a one of the best flim in 2024 nice story excellent acting and the direction was so good. Even the star cast was perfect I watched with my mom and it's create another level memory for us. Specially Mithun Chakraborty was fabulous as always. And thanks to the whole team to make such flim on this kind of topics which need to be highlighted and there should be learning things for society. Atlast thanks Jeet Ganguly sir for your amezing songs it's highly recommended movie every one should wath this kind of film with family and parents and support for future Bengali movie like shontaan. Thanks again.

This film depicts Saradindu ( #MithunChakraborty ) meeting a lawyer ( #SubhasreeGanguly ) to lodge a legal case against his neglectful son Indranil ( #RitwickChakraborty ), who refuses to take responsibility for his old and ailing parents.

The direction by #RajChakraborty is good, but nothing to shout about. The screenplay by Sreejib and additional screenplay by Anuja Chattopadhyay & Soumyabrata Rakshit ( with dialogues ) are gripping, but the second half is a bit dragged.

The story by Sreejib is cliché. You may have had a déjàvu while watching hindi films Baghban, Waqt or bengali films Latthi, Posto and few more bordering on the same topic partially. Old wine served in a new bottle you may say.

Cinematography by #ManasGanguly is average.

Editing by #MdKalam could have been crisper by 10 minutes or so. The flashback scenes have been well juxtaposed.

Music by #JeetGanguli & Background score by #AmitChaterjee is respectively moderate and good as per the screenplay.

As per the performances are concerned, the actors have excelled in their individual parts with distinction marks. Even the supporting actors looked tailor-made. National Award and Dadasaheb Phalke winner Mithun Chakraborty, Ritwick Chakraborty and #AnashuaMajumdar in lead roles have given their best performances, while #SohiniSengupta, #BiswajitChakraborty, #ShomaChakraborty and #AhanaDutta has lent abled support in their roles. #KharajMukherjee and Subhasree Ganguly were awesome in their duel.

The Production house #SVF, produced by #ShrikantMohta and #MahendraSoni under the banner of #ShreeVenkateshFilms has made a good and emotional film.

Elderly people, urban audience and youngstars must watch it to get a most important and relevant social message. Kudos to the whole team. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Shontaan is a Bengali film directed by well known Bengali Director Raj Chakraborty. Film deals with the problem of aged parents who are completely neglected by their son. Mithun Chakraborty and Anasuya Majumder potrait the roles of parents and Ritwik Chakraborty potrait the character son. The story revolves on the basis of a Court room drama when Mithun Chakraborty is forced to place a case against his son who is completely reluctant to help his lonely parents even inspite of having a white collar job , he refused to give money for operation of her mother. This son with his wife live a sophisticated life but not extends a minimum support to his own parents. Subhashree Ganguly as a lawyer gives her support to Mithun Chakraborty to fight for justice against his son. Raj Chakraborty has done a fantastic job to handle both family drama and court room drama with essence. He is definitely one of the finest Director of modern Bengali Cinema. Last 20 minutes of the film makes you cry and you leave the hall with a strong social message. The main strong point of the film is performance. Ritwik Chakraborty as son, Anasuya Majumder as mother and Subhashree Ganguly as lawyer give their career best performance. Ritwik is so natural as a bad son, as a spectator you will hate him. Mithun at mid seventies makes wonder, poor man Amitabh Bachhan, hero of front bencher, now melts the heart of urban centric audiences who were slightly indifferent about him even during his Disco era. After Projapati, Kabuliwala now Shontaan it is 3 rd hits in three consecutive year in completely different genres which are differed from typical Mithun Genera. Three time National award winner actor now justifies his talent which is seriously underrated in his so called masala bollywood films. Sohini Sengupta and Kharaj Mukherjee justify themselves in their short roles. Music is as per the message of the film. Lastly it is a must watch film for every family.
