A FILM BECOMES DISAPPOINTMENT EVEN WHEN YOU HAD ZERO EXPECTATIONS !!!
Uttam Kumar still is the MAHANAYAK (THE HERO) of tollywood industry.
Neither gossip columns/pulp magazines/flop movies could tarnish Uttam-Supriya's image... nor this film would be ever successful to do so.
ACTING - Saswata Banerjee was brilliant... Rituparna Sengupta even as a cameo actor was fantastic... Biswanath & Srabanti also gave good performances... but most of the amateur actors were really disappointing.
STORYLINE/PLOT- A cheaply catered, one sided tale of a great persona without any nuances of life.
The film is not about Uttam Kumar's cinematic successes or failures... This film is not exactly a biopic... This film is all about Uttam Kumar's first love/wife Gauri devi and HIS infinite affairs... This film illustrates a family drama where Uttam Kumar is being seduced to the dark side by "others" (namely Supriya devi/Benu-di).
Behind all of Uttam Kumar's success & greatness there was Gauri devi (and obviously HIS tremendous discipline)....but behind Uttam Kumar's downfall, HE is never to be blamed... HE was never responsible for HIS choices.
Whether be it, marrying Supriya Devi (Never shown in the film. She just symbolies the downfall of HIS life) without divorcing Gauri Devi... or leading an extremely unhealthy & indisciplined life... or ruining reputations of many women.... HE is never (actually) responsible.
"Chhoti si mulakat" was HIS choice... HIS failure... but Supriya Devi/Benu-di is exclusively blamed for that too in this film.
SCREENPLAY - Poorly written dialogues and scenes...Even telifilms & OTT platform films now have more well researched contents with better cinematic experience.
Uttam Kumar may had a flawless persona on the silver screen... but he was a human being with loads of imperfections... Demonizing his second partner "Benu-di" (that partner is a woman thereby a witch , who can be casted away by some charmed amulets) maybe the easiest way to sell a film... by obscuring truths & nuances of life.
MUSIC - At times appropriate... at times it felt like mixing water with oil.
OVER-ALL EXPERIENCE - I had no intention to write a review for this below average film. My rating is more than enough, to make my opinion clear.
When I read through the reviews of around 3.2k imdb bots with same copy-pasted good review, posted on 23rd July...I just had to share my experience, which was an unpleasant one.
This film is a total waste of time and money... I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch the film even when it streams free on TV.
But then again... I wish that you go to the nearest theatre without your family (torture yourself but don't push your family into this) and share your real experience here....to fight bot ratings/reviews in imdb.
