Oti Uttam

Illogical Premise. Poor Direction. Actors have tried their best to do justice but failed miserably. Very poor direction. But the effort of back-calculating the Screenplay, selecting 54 shots out of Uttam Kumar's old 87 films and then rotoscoping the digitally remasteres shots are not a matter of joke. The music is nice and the Cinematography is good. But picturising intimate scenes with the heroine and Uttam Kumar was like a culture shock. However, One-time Watch 👍🏻

What a movie , what a great initiative, lovely emotions ,love for this movie , love for uttam kumar flows . A historic day for all of us. Proud moments. Again to see uttam kumar after 42 years is a big thing we are watching his movie in theaters for the fist time. If this movie was not made we our generation will never had the chance to see him on the big screen.

The story is so good , great job by the director and the production house what a job . Looking forward to watch the movie again and again.

This has changed the face of bengali cinema. Am just overwhelmed By seeing the movie, hats off.

A complete crap. Just giving 2/10 for the sake of the name "Uttam Kumar". There is absolutely no story, pretty poor cinematography and use of AI, also the sound and background score is pathetic. Acting of the current characters are also awful. At least some good storyline must have been there to respect the legacy and the nostalgia that we have. Only innovative idea can't create masterpieces. Mr Srijit should understand that he is not a Nolan or Scorsese or Tarantino. Overall, a complete wastes of time, money, resource and efforts. My mistake, I took my entire family without getting proper reviews beforehand.

The entire cast displayed perfect comic timing, making this concept a completely new and refreshing experience. Even Uttam Kumar Sir's shots matched the tone seamlessly. It is evident that a lot of effort and preparation went into creating this art piece. However, due to budget constraints, the camera and cinematography quality suffered at times, resulting in laggy and low-quality shots. Additionally, the story felt a bit dragged out, especially during the first half and climax. Nevertheless, it is still a nice film that beautifully pays homage to the legendary Mahanayak Uttam Kumar. The special cameo appearance was a delightful surprise and fit in perfectly. This movie is a great choice for a family and friends gathering, particularly when watching with elders.

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.
