Oti Uttam

◾Positive aspect

1) Biggest attraction is getting Uttam Kumar back on the big screen 2) Only Anindya's acting is good in the movie .

3) Srijit Mukherjee's movie songs are always good and there is no exception in this movie.

◾Negative aspect

1) There is nothing new in the story , rather there is no story .

2) No character can be felt. There is no chemistry between the main male and female lead characters in the story.

3) Dialogues are one of the main attractions of Srijit Mukherjee's movies but this movie has no good dialogues.

4) Bengali cinema doesn't have much advantage of technology . Uttam Kumar repeatedly appears in different clothes in the same scene is not good at all . Rather it spoils the flow of the story .

5) Besides, the plot, writing, screenplay and character development of the movie is very poor.

The film's sole redeeming feature is the innovative use of AI to bring Uttam Kumar back to the screen, but unfortunately, this is where the praise ends. The plot is virtually lame, nonexistent, and lacks coherence, leading to a disjointed viewing experience. Characters are poorly developed, with no chemistry between the leads, making it hard to engage with their stories. While the first half of the film shows some potential, it quickly falls apart in the second half, devolving into a chaotic mess. The cinematography, production, and sound design are underwhelming, and the integration of old footage feels forced and awkward. Overall, it's a significant disappointment, failing to live up to the promise of its nostalgic concept and leaving viewers frustrated with its many shortcomings.

Yes, obviously innovative in its approach but this film does not stand to the expectations of all the audience. The first half is very good actually, presenting a film mixed with romance comedy and horror elements ( talking about the planchet. Though very little, but still). There are many good scenes and sequences in the first half. While the first half attracts the second half districts.

This film could have been something else.

What I felt Uttam Kumar is the main thing in this film. That is not a problem, but when you want to produce a film thinking that he( Uttam Kumar) will manage every flaw of this film, problem starts there.

This film is average. I felt Srijit has made a film out of a bad Bengali TV serial.

A complete crap. Just giving 2/10 for the sake of the name "Uttam Kumar". There is absolutely no story, pretty poor cinematography and use of AI, also the sound and background score is pathetic. Acting of the current characters are also awful. At least some good storyline must have been there to respect the legacy and the nostalgia that we have. Only innovative idea can't create masterpieces. Mr Srijit should understand that he is not a Nolan or Scorsese or Tarantino. Overall, a complete wastes of time, money, resource and efforts. My mistake, I took my entire family without getting proper reviews beforehand.

The entire cast displayed perfect comic timing, making this concept a completely new and refreshing experience. Even Uttam Kumar Sir's shots matched the tone seamlessly. It is evident that a lot of effort and preparation went into creating this art piece. However, due to budget constraints, the camera and cinematography quality suffered at times, resulting in laggy and low-quality shots. Additionally, the story felt a bit dragged out, especially during the first half and climax. Nevertheless, it is still a nice film that beautifully pays homage to the legendary Mahanayak Uttam Kumar. The special cameo appearance was a delightful surprise and fit in perfectly. This movie is a great choice for a family and friends gathering, particularly when watching with elders.
