    Mithun Chakraborty in a still from Shukno Lanka
    Critic's Rating: Cast: Mithun Chakraborty, Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Debasree Roy, Shaheb Chattopadhyay, Late Kunal Mitra, Angana BoseDirection: Gaurav PandeyGenre: DramaDuration: 2 hours Avg Readers Rating: Rate this movie 1 (Poor) 1.5 (Below average) 2 (Average) 2.5 (Above average) 3 (Good) 3.5 (Good +) 4 (Very good) 4.5 (Very good +) 5 (Outstanding)


    Story: Joy Sunder Sengupta (Sabyasachi Chakraborty), an arthouse film maker joins hands with Australian actress, Isabella (Emma Brown) to translate Ritwick Ghatak's short story, Paraspathar (The Philosopher's Stone) onto the big screen. He casts Chinu Nandy (Mithun Chakraborty) a struggling extra in the lead role and embarks on a whole new journey of self-realisation, with Chinu's grounded philosophy of life proving to be the pivot of change.

    Movie Review: For those who still remember Mithun Chakraborty's sterling act in Buddhadeb Dasgupta's Tahader Katha, here's another chance to discover the true colours of the thespian actor who has the ability to grab eyeballs with something more than his disco dancing abilities. As Chinu Nandy, the humble, down-to-earth actor who lives with his daily earnings as an extra in the sundry films produced in the studios of Tollygunj, Mithun is quite-quite mesmerising. On the one hand, he quibbles for an extra hundred rupees from the production manager, while on the other, he takes a delightful tonga ride every night through the streets of Kolkata with his dear wife, who deliciously chews paan and pontificates on trivia. Despite his decrepit state, Nandy has never given up on his dreams and that's what makes him such an enviable character. So much so, that the offer of a lifetime -- the chance to play the lead role -- doesn't manage to change his body language. He still keeps his hands folded, his head bowed, and his body slightly bent: in humility and humaneness.

    Nandy's story is interestingly juxtaposed against the arrogance and individuality of the award-winning successful film maker, Sabyasachi Chakraborty, who lives in his cloistered creative world, unmindful of the pain he causes to the people around him. Watch his wife, Debashree Roy, cope up with the pain of neglect and the fear of loneliness, and you'll see how the film aptly brings out the flip side of creativity.

    This is Tollygunj, off the mainstream. Take your fill.

    Well done Dada Mithun
