Soumitra Chatterjee

Brilliance that can never die

I have seen only one film of Soumitra Chatterjee, Ghare Bhaire. I am sharing the whole movie for discerning film viewers. Curious viewers could watch on to discover the magnificence of this actor. Discover the sheer effortlessness of his acting. Non-chalance is the word that perfectly describes his actions as he descends from the palanquin in the 20th minute and addresses the gathering for 4 minutes. Watch sparks fly as he covets his friends wife and the ensuing interactions.

The movie based on Tagore's Home and the World,  is a brilliant exploration of the Swadeshi and the liberal. The difference between the ideological shifts, the hidden motives and the true persona . 

After seeing Soumitra in Ghare Bhaire and Uttam kumar in Nayak, I have reason to believe that they could be the first amongst equals in a country of great actors.

I always believe people who have lived  a full life are always blessed and remain in our hearts forever.

I hope to catch up with Soumitra Chatterjee's work

An exhilarating first half slowed down by a predictably templated second half

In a society where the majority feels entitled, one is happy to see a movie that drives the importance of dreams and the self confidence to achieve that despite the system. 

The energies are focused on solving the problem. Giving up is not an option.

The world is full of possibilities. No one can stop any individual from achieving their dreams. 

It is a theme that we can all savour and celebrate on this festive occasion. 

Just loved the writing for Aparna Balamurali. Happy to see a liberated progressive woman in old fashioned braids. Aparna steals the movie from the rest.

GV Prakash sizzles. 

Surya is competent. 

I only wish such universal themes do not get bogged down by the pressures  of the local markets. 

Should we not take a leaf out Gopinath's life and stop  being sentimental fools.

Happy Diwali!! to all of you.
