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.

Kabuliwala, an adaptation of short story of Rabindranath Tagore which depicts an emotional bonding between a five years old Bengali child with an Afghan Kabuliwala. Mithun Chakraborty has played the role of an Afghan Kabuliwala, Rahamat. Mithun in one word eats the role. His depiction as Rahamat is extraordinary. He has shuttered the performances of great Chabi Biswas and Balraj Sahani who times to time portrayed the same role. Last ten minutes is brillant when Mini on the date of her marriage can not recognise her very own Kabuliwala whom she maintains an eternal bonding of loves in her child hood. Last ten minutes are so much impactful, you can remember it for immortal times. Direction and music are good. Other co actors justify their roles. But again 74 years old Mithun proves , he can justify any types of role. Really Mahaguru can only justify creation of Kabiguru.

Bhagha Jatin named as Jatindranath Mukherjee is one of the prominent freedom fighters of our Country. Jatindranath Mukherjee killed a tiger in almost bare hand and popularly named as Bagha Jatin and even almost three decades before Subhas Chandra Bose , Bagha Jatin thought to free India with the help of German who was as usual opponent of British in the First World War. But he was not succeed and sacrificed his life just at the age of thirty five for the freedom of our mother land. Now popular Bengali actor Dev brings life of Bhagha Jatin in Silver screen in both Bengali and Hindi version. It is an undoubtedly great attempt by the Actor Dev who is also a producer of the film. Work and sacrifices of Bhagha Jatin superbly portrayed in the screen. As an actor Dev almost single handedly shoulders this film .He is good enough in building emotion and his strong Zone of execution of action, he is superb particularly action scenes against British loyals as well as against tiger. The films contain various massy elements where this mass superstar truly eats it. Music as well as Background music are extremely good. In Bengal, there is always constraints of budget due to lower market level, so VFX may be better. But as an actor and producer Dev has given his 200 percent. This film should be seen by not only every Bengalees but also every Indian.
