Achena Uttam (2022) User Reviews

Nice acting

[kr-95972 · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

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.

Amazing

[akash-46607 · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

The film is a work of art, with a grandiose setting befitting the story of a guy who is bigger than life. Not only for history lovers, but for anybody searching for a good philosophical benchmark as well.

Fantastic film

[rakeshroy-40812 · 10/10 · 23 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.

A FILM BECOMES DISAPPOINTMENT EVEN WHEN YOU HAD ZERO EXPECTATIONS !!!

[tuhinind · 3/10 · 3 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.

motivation flim

[rohanraj-78886 · 10/10 · 23 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.

Inspirational movie

[natukaka-54411 · 10/10 · 23 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.

Good picture film

[rajatpatel-13652 · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

The film is very reflective and has a great lot of relevance for our day. As a film enthusiast, I will award five stars. Excellent Film, Direction, and Acting. Everything in this film is excellent. Must-see for the younger generation.

Intresting movies

[rajaraj-35806 · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

The film is incredibly insightful and has a lot of contemporary significance. As a moviegoer, I give it five stars. Fantastic film, direction, and acting. Everything about this film is fantastic. For the younger generation, this is a must-see.

Best story

[sabitapatel · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

My only gripe is that I can't think of anything that might be improved upon. Everything from filmmaking to costume design is excellent. Every award this picture has received is well-earned, and then some.

brilliant casting

[davidvizza · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

The film itself is a masterpiece of filmmaking, with a bigger-than-life backdrop to express a man's larger-than-life experience. The subject of the film is a guy who has experienced something greater than life. A definite must-see, not just for its historical value but also to get the superior intellectual foundation that we all want.

Amazing

[rhul-48915 · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

While this is true, the film's stellar cast and a few memorable moments save it from being a stale biopic of the kind that has been overused in recent years.

a excellent Bengali film

[gepalkhan · 9/10 · 23 July 2022]

. The second part of the book is where these subtleties are lost since it gets too dense with a chronology of the important events in Uttam Kumar's life. This is a movie that you should definitely watch over the weekend. People who are fluent in Bengali really need to see this movie.

Really good movie

[guptabarsha-76913 · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

It seems like a lot of effort was put in by both the director and the actors. Please watch and help share the message that true love and care should be shown to everyone. One of the most outstanding works of cinematic biography that I've ever seen.

motivation flim

[prabhasroya · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

The film is in Bengali. Atanu Bose, the director of the film, develops a feature film that, in many ways, does not resemble a biography. Wonderful biopic movie ever I seen. I always recommend this movie to everyone.

Great Job

[Monisha-1781691 · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

The film is a work of art, with a larger-than-life backdrop to communicate a man's larger-than-life experience. A must-see not just for history buffs, but also for anyone seeking a good intellectual foundation.

Loved

[mohadevsastri · 10/10 · 24 July 2022]

Despite this, the film's all-star cast and a few memorable scenes save it from devolving into a tiresome and overdone biographical cliché. This is a best direction of the most.

masterpiece film

[sanjaydas-41178 · 10/10 · 23 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.

Wow

[chhotikumari-02321 · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

93. 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.

Excellent movie

[arjunjataj · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

It is a Bengali language film. With the opening sequence and the first half of the movie, director Atanu Bose constructs something of a feature film that doesn't really appear like a biography in many elements of the story.

Inspiring movie

[kapildev-93406 · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

I was blown away by the film's visuals and the age it depicted. What this film reminds you is that if you have faith in your decision, you can achieve any type of success. This is a very accurate portrayal of Uttam Kumar ji's character.

Good movie

[kalyansetta · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

The second part of the book is where these subtleties are lost since it gets too dense with a chronology of the import. This movie is really good. I strongly recommend this movie to everyone.

Nice movie

[amankumar-95999 · 10/10 · 23 July 2022]

This film is based on the life of actor Uttam Kumar. His popularity was especially prevalent in West Bengal. The actor in the film did an excellent job portraying the role. Outstanding film featuring an ensemble cast.

best performance

[omprakashsani-99246 · 9/10 · 24 July 2022]

The film is in Bengali. For most of the first half of the film, Atanu Bose crafts a feature film that isn't truly an account of his life. The film is in Bengali. For most of the first half of the film, Atanu Bose crafts a feature film that isn't truly an account of his life.
