The first 5 mins I thought I was watching a documentary film on Satyajit Ray. Jeetu Kamal exceeded our expectations. Not only Jeetu, after so many years they did found the look alikes of all characters.
Soo brilliant and nicely done. Perfectly acted.. perfectly directed. Every Indian must watch this as it shows the making of the greatest film in India.
"A film about changing films"- describes the film perfectly, it shows how an ordinary filmophile can make a film different from all the conventions and change the vision towards film forever. The film is not only about how Ray made a masterpiece but also about himself.
The film deals intelegently with all the topics with many subtle comedic dialogues which is not forced upon. It is not an event by event documentary but a storyline that portrays the journey very swiftly and beautifully. It will give you a nostalgic feel with added back stories. Many untold story is shown, some of which is very shocking and interesting. Cinematography is as usual very lively, the type we see in Anik Dutta. Casting is the main USP of this film, almost every character fits perfectly, the makover department has done a very good job. Music is also very subtle yet powerful and well placed in the scenes.
Now coming to acting, Jeetu is just outstanding and mind-blowing, his resemblances is just spot on, but that is not all, his acting, expressions, body language and posture us just uncanny. The person who did the voice reconstruction for the role is something that will be recorded in history. Coming to negative points, there are some side scenes mainly the public scenes are a little bit loose, although it is common in most of Bengali movies.
Anyway this movie is worth watching in every way.

The point is this movie is of blood and bones of Jeetu Kamal..
He injected between teeth to match Ray's Dental profile to be the most accurate actor in a biopic ever.
Anik Dutta did his masterpiece in "his" way and made it an elixir for the next generations.
All of them who will talk about what was in it. I must say its pure gold and me being a Ray fan unapprove of his sons movies but this one.. i am like God you were made to be immortalized.. do you approve ?
He said yes !

Best tribute to the legend of all legends in Indian Cinema - Satyajit Ray. Congratulations Anik Dutta & Team. Splendid work. Jitu Kamal what an acting, special mention to that person who did the voice over for him. Sandip Ray, with all due respect & utmost humility have to say this, sir you should have made a film on this long back. Also kind request make Satyajit Ray open to all good directors to explore further, instead of clinging to his work as ancestral property ! Manikbabu is for all. #Salute #Respect Maharaja of Indian Cinema, Ray once again.
