Fantastic film
rakeshroy-4081223 July 2022
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.

Inspirational movie
natukaka-5441123 July 2022
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.

A FILM BECOMES DISAPPOINTMENT EVEN WHEN YOU HAD ZERO EXPECTATIONS !!!
tuhinind3 August 2022
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.

rohanraj-7888623 July 2022
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.

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.

I'd be hard pushed to find anything lacking in it. The direction, cinematography, and costumes are all excellent. This film deserves every bit of praise it receives. A motivational film. Elegant direction.

saurabhyadav-4873023 July 2022
In the second part, the chronology of major events from Uttam kumar's life overwhelms these touches. This is a movie that's well worth seeing over the course of a weekend. A good Bengali film for the locals to.

bisw-7059323 July 2022
The movie is a work of art in and of itself, with a fantastical setting that perfectly captures the surreal nature of the protagonist's experience. In addition to providing a strong philosophical foundation, this film is a must-see.

Is good one movie
ruhidobna23 July 2022
A larger-than-life setting is used in this cinematic classic, which tells a larger-than-life story of a man. The film is a masterpiece of filmmaking. A must-see not just for those who have an interest in history, but also for everyone who is searching for a reasonable philosophical standard.

Lovely movie
johnsonhenryjh23 July 2022
The second half, which is overloaded with the chronology of major events in Uttam Kumar's life, causes these touches to become less noticeable and eventually disappear entirely. This is a movie that should absolutely be seen over the weekend. An entertaining Bengali film for the people of the area to see.

outstanding casting
kalugurjar-3950223 July 2022
Any issues with it would need a lot of work on my side to uncover. In this film, the director of photography, the costumes, and the photography itself are all superb. The praise that has been showered on this film is fully deserved. One that will make you feel good within. Incredible directorial talent.

Awesome
sahadebraj23 July 2022
A biopic of actor Uttam Kumar is being made. West Bengal was the epicenter of his cult of personality. The guy who played the part in the movie did a fantastic job. Overall, it's a great movie with an impressive cast.

Drama best
rajshreebai23 July 2022
The actor Uttam Kumar's life served as the basis for this film. One of the states where he was the most well-liked was West Bengal. In the movie, the actor who played the part did a fantastic job. An excellent film with good overall acting from the cast.

Good movie for me
herculesheroboy23 July 2022
Despite this, the film's star-studded ensemble and a few standout scenes save it from devolving into a tired biographical trope, one that has been overused in recent years.

Superb
sachinavya23 July 2022
Casting, setting, and attire all come together in this masterpiece thanks to Saswata Chatterjee's brilliant performance, which puts the finishing touches on the production's overall excellence. The movie is a wonderful piece of art, despite the fact that it has a quite lengthy running time.

ds-2883723 July 2022
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.

Very nice movie
kumarnitisg23 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The 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.

kristenstewerta23 July 2022
In my opinion, the director and performers have put in a lot of time and energy into this. To spread the message of compassion and love for all individuals, viewers are urged to share this film with their loved ones. I've never seen a better biopic than this one.

sn-2440823 July 2022
From what I can see, both the director and the performers put a lot of work into their performances. In order to spread the message of compassion and love for all people, viewers are urged to show this film to their friends and family members and encourage them to do the same. I've seen a lot of movies, but this one tops them all.

Nice movie
hrid-5282923 July 2022
While this may be true, the film's stellar ensemble and a few standout passages save it from degenerating into a generic biopic, a subgenre that has been overdone recently.
