User Reviews

The film is incredibly insightful and has a lot of contemporary significance. As a moviegoer, I give it five stars. Fantastic film, direction, and acting. Everything about this film is fantastic. For the younger generation, this is a must-see.

Everything about it is great, and I have nothing bad to say about it. The filmmaking, photography, and costume design are all of the highest caliber. This film deserves every award it earns, and then some. Motivating and inspiring. The direction is elegant.

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.

The film is very reflective and has a great lot of relevance for our day. As a film enthusiast, I will award five stars. Excellent Film, Direction, and Acting. Everything in this film is excellent. Must-see for the younger generation.

The film is a work of art, with a grandiose setting befitting the story of a guy who is bigger than life. Not only for history lovers, but for anybody searching for a good philosophical benchmark as well.

Despite this, the film's star-studded cast and a few memorable sequences save it from devolving into a trite, overdone biographical cliche.i really like this film.

The sequence of key events in Uttam Kumar's life overwhelms these touches in the second chapter. This is a film that should be seen over the course of a weekend. A excellent Bengali film for locals to see.

The movie is in itself a marvellous film making feat, with a larger than life setup to depict the larger than life story of a man. A must watch , not only for history but also for getting a good philosophical benchmark which we all need.

93. Overwhelmed with Uttam Kumar's biography, the film's second half loses sight of these little details. This is a weekend movie worth watching. Locals should witness this Bengali film.

The second part of the book is where these subtleties are lost since it gets too dense with a chronology of the import. This movie is really good. I strongly recommend this movie to everyone.

It to the cinematography to the costumes. This Movie Is Worth Even More Praise Than Anyone Else Is Giving It Right Now. An uplifting movie. A refined path to take.

Performers and crew have clearly put in a lot of effort. Let's everyone watch and share the message of love and real caring for all people. One of the best biopics I've watched in a long time.

Reflective and timely, the film has a lot to say about our day. I give this film five stars since I'm a movie buff. The acting, direction, and cinematography are all excellent. I loved it from start to finish. Recommendation for those under 30.

In the second part of the story, which becomes too thick with the chronology of Uttam Kumar's key life events, these touches are no longer present. It is recommended that you watch this movie over the course of the weekend. This movie is recommended for those who are fluent in Bengali.

It's perfect in every way, and I can't think of a single thing that might be improved upon. The direction of the picture, the photography, and the costume design are all of the finest possible quality. This movie is deserving of a lot of awards, not just the ones it gets. Inspiring and a source of motivation. The leadership is quite tasteful.

The film itself is a piece of art, depicting a man's larger-than-life experience in a setting that is on a grander scale than real life. This is a video that should not be missed, not just because of the importance it has historically, but also because of the intellectual foundation it lays, which is something from which we may all profit.

This is a biopic based movie on Actor Uttam kumar. His popularity was mainly concentrated in West Bengal. Actor in movie did a splendid job in portraying the character. Great moview over all with an ensemble cast.

Saswata Chatterjee's superb performance in this classic gives the finishing touches to the casting, setting, and costumes. Despite its lengthy running time, the film is a magnificent piece of art.

It's a bengali language movie. It's immediately with the opening sequence and the first half of the film that its maker Atanu Bose establishes a sort of feature film that doesn't really feel like a biopic in many ways.

In this case, it is a Bengali-language film. Atanu Bose builds a feature film that doesn't really seem like a biography in many aspects with the opening scene and the first half of the film.

To convey a man's larger-than-life experience, the film used a larger-than-life setting. Anybody looking to build a solid intellectual foundation should view this film, not only history aficionados.

Both the director and the cast seem to have worked very hard. Please take the time to read and share this message of compassion and love for everyone. One of the most magnificent pieces of biographical film I've ever seen.
