Shontaan

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 must watch!!

This is undoubtedly one of MithunDa's best performances. There are many emotional moments throughout the movie, but specifically the last 15 minutes are bound to make you cry. I saw people still weeping while coming out of the theatre.

10 star is also less for this movie. Literals made every single person cry in the theatre at the end. Oshadharon movie. After baghban, we finally have a movie based on injustice against old parents that narreted so well.

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.

I watched an amazing movie. We all went to the theater together, bought tickets, and watched it. Just leaving the review, tears came to my eyes. The entire theater was silent, everyone had tears in their eyes. Oh, what an incredible performance by Mithun Chakraborty! This is why he is our pride, our "Mahaguru." Not for a single moment did it feel like I was watching a movie; it felt like the events were unfolding right in front of me, and I was witnessing them. Ritwick, Anasuya, Kharaj, Subhashree-each of them acted so beautifully.

Oh, one more thing: when Mithun Chakraborty transitioned from playing the role of a father to an aggressive, rebellious character, the entire theater erupted in applause. It was a sight to behold! Truly, Mithun Chakraborty, you were, are, and always will be a legendary actor in the hearts of every person.

The narrative may have its fair share of shortcomings, particularly in the writing that contributed to a subdued second half (with the sole exception of the ending), it still managed to evoke an wide spectrum of emotions that such stories are meant to inspire.

As someone who values emotional connections with on-screen characters, I found the experience to be cathartic. Even though I do not typically gravitate towards family dramas, this one struck a chord that set it apart from others.

Not to mention, performances by both Anashua Mam and Mithun Daa were profoundly moving; their portrayals felt sincere and, most importantly genuine in intent.

Lastly I just wanna say, take care of your Mom & Dad they have sacrificed much for your well being all they seek in return is your love and affection.

They won't ask for anything more, once they are gone, nothing will ever be the same. Cherish every moment while you can.
