Janatar Adalat (2008) Jishu Sengupta -Indrani Dutta

Janatar Adalat (2008) Jishu Sengupta -Indrani Dutta
Direction: Manoj Thakur
Music Direction: Manoj Thakur
Lyric: Manoj Thakur
Playback Singers: Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik, Abhijit .
Cast: Jishu Sengupta, Indrani Dutta, Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, Dulal Lahidi, Tapas Pal and more…..

Showing in Prachi.

Picture: Jishu Sengupta - Passionate Actor of Tollywood Kolkata

In 1972, there was a Bengali Movie “Janatar Adalat” made by Madhukar. Now it is time for “Director/Music Director/Lyricist/Producer” Manoj Thakur to make a film with the same brand name. Manoj Thakur has been a well known lyricist in Tollywood for his work in ” Janam Janamer Sathi”, “Phool aar Pathor”, “Mahasatisabitri” and more. His first film as a director, Janatar Adalat was done two years back and releasing in Calcutta today (June 20th, 2008).

This again proves that we probably still do not have enough movie halls that are willing to release Bengali films simply due to less profit by releasing Bengali films. Sometimes there are other issues associated with a late release but we definitely need more movie halls dedicated to release Bengali films in Calcutta. This is the time when after a long time-gap, people are going back to movie halls to watch Bengali Films. Now, even the Bengali Film producers are spending huge money on Bengali Films which is reflected by much improvement in camera, picture quality, sound effects, animations and so on.

The movie starts Jishu Sengupta, Indrani Dutta, Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, Dulal Lahidi and more. The story is based on “unemployment” condition in Calcutta. There are five young people without a job and they start their fight against a corrupt MLA - Dulal Lahidi. While the story seems heard numerous times, I will still recommend the film simply because Jishu Sengupta. He is a very passionate actor with a great sense of humor.

The film was completely shot in Howrah, Calcutta and Baruipur.

Khela (2008): Prasenjit-Manisha Koirala Releasing Soon

Khela (2008): Prasenjit-Manisha Koirala Releasing Soon
Direction: Rituparno Ghosh
Releasing on: June 28 th in Calcutta
Casts: Prasenjit Chatterjee, Monisha Koirala, Raima Sen, Shankar Chakrabarty, Akashneel Dutta Mukherjee and more.
Produced by: Sa Re Ga Ma Films (producer of Badadin)

Khela - by Sa Re Ga Ma

Khela — The Game! Storyline is based on a busy film maker and his personal life. Prasenjit is very busy in making various flms and he could not manage any time for his wife Monisha Koirala. Monisha wants a baby to overcome her boredom. But her husband does not permit. Things started to change when Prasenjit started making film with a child actor.

Raja (Prasenjit) was a idealistic film maker who never compromised anything for his work. He found out that he needs a child actor to a particular part of the film. One day he found a boy buying foods in the street. Prasenjit determines he needs that boy in his film. He talked to the parents of the child to act in his film. The poor parents did not allow. However, the little boy wanted to do the film. So, they ran away together. Now, the police is after them.

Well, looks like it would be sort of a thriller movie and we all know how good “Rituparno Ghosh” is directing films. The film has been stuck for 3 years and could not release for various reasons. Prasenjit said that it is a very “different” Rituparno Movie. Lets wait for few weeks now!
Please write a review or rate the film out of 5! Please after you watch it ofcourse!
