Rajkumar (2024): A Heartfelt Journey of Love, Sacrifice, and Resilience
The film revolves around how superstition, orthodoxness, and ego can ruin lives. Besides, it touches upon significant themes such as patriotism, parent-child relationships, unconditional maternal love, and the hardships of living abroad. While the first half had notable elements of romance and comedy, by the end of the movie, these aspects seemed insignificant amidst the extraordinary content. In just around two and a half hours, Himel Ashraf has showcased so much; who knew he was capable of this! His previous movies were outstanding, but in "Rajkumar," they seem like mere child's play.
The first half started like a typical commercial Bengali movie. The story begins with a young man's dream of going to America at any cost. The protagonist, after estranging himself from his birth father, starts his life abroad, portraying the struggles of expatriates, the pain of adapting to a different culture, and the complexities of relationships with foreign women. His sweet relationship with a foreign beauty was also captivating. However, before the interval, his true intentions of going to America are exposed. While the first half succeeded in entertaining the audience well, after the interval, what Himel Ashraf showed was truly unimaginable. In the second half, there were three scenes where I couldn't hold back tears. Talking about the last two scenes might spoil the plot, so I won't. The first scene that made me cry was when, in the face of death, someone was trying to buy 3.5 hand lands ( Share tin hat jomi) of his mother land in exchange of all his wealth earned during lifetime.
By portraying a mother's unconditional love for her child, the director successfully leaves a mark on people's hearts. The best song of this movie, in my opinion, is "Ma" (Mother). However, in the interest of keeping the story's secret, perhaps that's why the song hasn't been uploaded on YouTube or Facebook yet. Although one song (Ami Ekay Rajkumar" released before the movie's release received criticism, in the cinema, it didn't feel out of place. I will request to release another favorite song of mine, "Nishana" (Target), soon for the audience.
The movie featured some exceptional dialogues. Among them, the one that resonated with me the most was: "When an innocent person asks what my fault is, giving an answer becomes the most challenging task in the world."
In conclusion, "Rajkumar" is a wholesome family movie. Everyone should sit together and enjoy it, supporting healthy Bengali cinema.
