UJJALM-1

'Putulnacher Itikatha' is the third novel by Manik Bandyopadhyay. Based on this literary classic, Suman Mukhopadhyay has created a film of the same title. I had read the novel long ago, so before going to watch the movie, I revisited it to refresh my memory.

While watching the film, I repeatedly felt that the novel's characters-Shashi, Kusum, Kumud, Moti, Yadav Pundit, and others-their surroundings, and the social backdrop had all come vividly to life. There is no doubt that every member of the cast and crew gave their very best.

Due to time constraints, certain parts of the novel had to be omitted, while a few scenes were added by the director to enhance the storytelling. These additions, however, in no way distort the main theme of the novel.

As a result, the film stands out as one of the finest cinematic adaptations of Bengali literature. Thank you, Sumanbabu, for bringing this masterpiece to the screen.
