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.

Fantastic film
rakeshroy-4081223 July 2022
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.

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.

geerah-4799523 July 2022
In this, the film's star-studded cast and a few spectacular sequences save it from degenerating into a conventional biography. This is a genre that has been overdone in recThis artwork is the result of a great deal of thought, and even in this day and age, it retains a lot of its significance. As someone who enjoys going to the movies, I think it deserves a perfect five stars. Excellent film, excellent director, and excellent performances all around. The quality of this film is exceptional in every respect. Keep an eye out for theent films, so it's important that movies stay away from it.

singhmohak-5618923 July 2022
This film is a biopic, and its subject is the actor Uttam Kumar. In West Bengal, the state in which he had the greatest level of popularity, his name was a common one. The actor who played the role in the movie did an excellent job depicting the character. The all-star cast of this movie is a big reason why it's such a good movie.
Nice
naveensindhu-4347523 July 2022
In this particular instance, it is a movie that is spoken in Bengali. With the opening sequence and the first half of the movie, Atanu Bose creates a feature film that doesn't actually appear like it's based on a biography in many different respects.
Biopic
sarlinchopra24 July 2022
. I can see that the actors and the director both put a lot of effort into their performances. Viewers are invited to share this movie to their friends and family and to encourage them to do the same in order to promote the message of compassion and love for all people. Even though I've watched a lot of movies, this one is the best.

mohitskp23 July 2022
The film is a masterpiece of filmmaking, with a larger-than-life backdrop to convey a larger-than-life narrative of a man. A must-see not just for history buffs, but also for anybody looking for a decent philosophical standard.
Best movie
ankirpandey23 July 2022
The string of noteworthy occurrences in Uttam Kumar's life cast a shadow over these touches in the second chapter. The ideal way to see this movie is over the course of a weekend. A great Bengali movie that should be seen by everyone around.
Fantastic movie

yasrah23 July 2022
In spite of this, the film's star-studded cast and a few sequences that stand out rescue it from becoming a worn-out biographical cliche, which is a kind that has been overdone in recent years.

As far as I can tell, the director and actors have put forth a lot of effort. Viewers are asked to share this movie with their friends and family in order to convey the message of compassion and love for all people. This is the best biopic I've ever watched.
