Bagha Jatin

Vande Maataram. Finally the film industry has attempted to address the life of the legendary freedom fighter Bagha Jatin (Jatindranath Mukherjee). None of this would have been possible without the sincere efforts of Dev. I am truly impressed by the dedication and effort that he has put in to reward the audience with this historic film. It is indeed tragic that neither the state governments of the past nor any other film-maker has ever bothered to do justice to the lives of these tigers of the freedom struggle who gave their lives improvising and fighting to win us freedom from the yoke of colonial oppressors.

The film is brilliant in tackling the the challenge of touching upon the lives of a great many freedom fighters while not stealing the thunder of the titular character. A true work of art in which the sincerity of the producers and the directors in adeptly distributing and planning the screentime and sequences is clearly evident. Highly impressed. The cast too is highly talented. Special mention must be made of Rohan Bhattacharya, Sreeja Dutta and certainly, the Pied piper himself, the man with a dream , our very own Dev Sir. Thank you for standing against all odds and making this dream of every Indian a reality. Hey Beer , Hey Bagha Jatin, Jatindranath Mukherjee, Bangalir praanpurush, Loho pronaam.

Jatindranath Mukherjee aka Bagha Jatin deserves highest respect and movie also attempted same but as a movie it failed on many fronts. First of all it is over cliched on many fronts. Writer presented story at shallow level and it clearly appeared that he did not worked hard to research and dig deeper. Both writer and director look ameteurs. Movie was created just for the sake of creating it. It had nothing to hook your attention throughout. There were many interesting historical events but were presented in over simplimisitic and banal manner. Director should watch movies like Udham Singh to know where does he stand. In short, the story had the potential but inept writer and director failed to do justice with that.

Bagha jatin is best patriotic flim in bengali dev as a jatindranath mukherjee character perfectly matched.. and tiger scene are out standing.. and also background music. All song best... and every scene is goosebumps.... and buribalam war goosebumps.... and when dev said vande Mataram different feelings every indian.. and villain charecter is good.. and all character well .... this is a must watch movie of every bengali .. dev every character perfectly matched.. he is trying to fresh content every movie.... as a bengali iam proud after watching this movie.... Arun roy is underrated director...

I am very sorry, but, Dev needs more time to portray a chacter like Bagha Jatin. He has become a superstar and has earned so much that he can take the responsibility of producing these movies. He should stick to his acting in commercial cinemas he has been doing in his earlier days. He should avoid characters like Bomkesh and Jatin Das. These characters should be left for Anirban, Abir and Param or may be Saswata Chatterjee. Dev is a good dancer, he has a very good physique. But, he is not at all an actor. He should concentrate only those movies where he can use is strengths. Everybody is there in the movie except Bagha Jatin. There is one character who is disguising as Bagha Jatin.

Bagha Jatin is a perfect blend of mass and class. Dev delivers emotional depth and showcases his action skills, especially in battles against the British and a tiger. He brings that mass superstar charm and screen presence that we haven't seen from him in years. The film incorporates various massy elements where he truly shines. Dev brings Jatindranath Mukherjee to life, and this may be his best entry scene since 'Challenge.'

The music and background score are top-notch which creates a big impact. The rest of the cast complements Dev quite well. Arun Roy, once again, proves himself as the go-to director for historical biopics. The story covers ideology, politics, and a formidable villain. His vision and scale are reflected in every frame and action. Bagha Jatin is a cinematic gem in the Bengali film industry that truly shines on the big screen.

In today's day and age of family dramas and detective films in Bengal, movies with such vision deserve appreciation. Dev's maturity and commitment to the role, both as an actor and producer, are evident and remarkable.
