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.

Seen the magic of Uttam Kumar in a cenema hall for the first time. Never seen people staying in the hall after the movie ended just to see some pictures and videos of an actor. This thing no actor can never have!

How wonderful it is! A person is still capturing and the screen and running the whole movie after 54 years of his death!

Story was average but watching it was awesome with some friends and elderly person with beautiful romanticism.

Awesome charm happens with every presens of Uttam Kumar with his unique looks and dialogues.

Kissing scenes was a nonsense act. Shouldn't hv added those so called cheap modernism.

Overall the movie is good.

Really creative in my opinion. I don't remember seeing this concept before. Hats off to Srijit Mukherjee for watching all Uttam Kumar films to make a script like this. Jokes in this movie gets the job done. As a 20s kid I haven't watched many Mahanayak films. Although I did watch some here and there. Still I am aware of his legacy. For people who experienced the Mahanayak era will get flabbergasted with nostalgia watching this. Once in a lifetime experience for them. Really good work by all the actors and Srijit Mukherjee ofcourse. I like the idea of using Gaurav Chaterjee as his own irl character in this movie as he's the gradson of Uttam Kumar himself.

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.

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.
