Like Craig, Dev combines sheer strength with utter vulnerability that works magic. Both have a certain suburban, boyish charm yet their headstrong brawniness makes their characters edgy, lovable and believable. Dev brings to Shankar what Daniel Craig (my best Bond) brings to Bond. I was weary of the commercial star till the film started, but through the viewing was convinced that no one else could have played Shankar. While Dev’s almost childlike fearlessness to conquer the unknown heightens the philosophy of the basic text. Rudolf’s almost Tim Roth-like cold fire adds to the ruthlessness of the tale. The wretchedly wise and the innocently curious. Gerard Rudolf as Diego Alvarez and Dev as Shankar make a superb combination. I only wish editor Rabiranjan Moitra had done away with the frequent slow-mo and ramping, and resorted to just cutting, because they distract you from the pace of the narration. A more-than-two-hour cinema about almost two men and a jungle becomes ravishingly captivating simply because the two men are gorgeously masculine and the landscape stunning. But with Chander Pahar he enters a different league where confidence and sheer hard work are evident in almost every frame. Then I got swept away with the visual quality of Meghe Dhaka Tara. I did not like Kamaleswar’s first work Uro Chithi, which I was a part of. The makers pulled off a very popular “ kishor” adventure story that is cinematically extremely difficult purely because they, like the hero Shankar, do not play safe. Almost 85 per cent of the film was spellbinding, gorgeous and filled with sheer good taste.
CHANDER PAHAR BENGALI MOVIE REVIEW FULL
Shree Venkatesh Films and Kamaleswar Mukherjee will go down in history for braving the very difficult journey filled with risk but full of confidence.Īfter a long time a Bengali film made me feel proud, filled me with envy and made me sit up and salute the production. And the actual returns of this film will be evaluated by the quality and success of films that will follow Chander Pahar in the next three years. The most expensive Bengali film till date, based on the Bibhutibhushan (Bandopadhyay) novel, will inspire if not force the Bengali industry to be more dynamic in scale, thought, courage. Watching Chander Pahar at INOX (South City) on Friday seemed like a far greater and bigger adventure that I am certain will change the course of Bengali cinema in the next three years. When I, Joy Ganguly and a handful travelled to the US with a shoestring budget to make The Bong Connection in 2004, we were simply trying to Crossover. Sometimes films are produced for breaking new grounds.
The novel is available in two languages – English and Bengali which also act as a promotional activity for the film.The Most Expensive Bengali Film Till Date Will Inspire If Not Force The Bengali Industry To Be More Dynamic In Scale, Thought, Courage - Anjan DuttĭO YOU AGREE/DISAGREE WITH ANJAN DUTT’S REVIEW?
