Bagha Jatin

Bhagha Jatin named as Jatindranath Mukherjee is one of the prominent freedom fighters of our Country. Jatindranath Mukherjee killed a tiger in almost bare hand and popularly named as Bagha Jatin and even almost three decades before Subhas Chandra Bose , Bagha Jatin thought to free India with the help of German who was as usual opponent of British in the First World War. But he was not succeed and sacrificed his life just at the age of thirty five for the freedom of our mother land. Now popular Bengali actor Dev brings life of Bhagha Jatin in Silver screen in both Bengali and Hindi version. It is an undoubtedly great attempt by the Actor Dev who is also a producer of the film. Work and sacrifices of Bhagha Jatin superbly portrayed in the screen. As an actor Dev almost single handedly shoulders this film .He is good enough in building emotion and his strong Zone of execution of action, he is superb particularly action scenes against British loyals as well as against tiger. The films contain various massy elements where this mass superstar truly eats it. Music as well as Background music are extremely good. In Bengal, there is always constraints of budget due to lower market level, so VFX may be better. But as an actor and producer Dev has given his 200 percent. This film should be seen by not only every Bengalees but also every Indian.

'Bagha Jatin' is based on Jatindranath Mukherjee's life. Basically it is a Biographical History film. Except for the motion of the film, nice to see the rest.

This film directed by Arun Roy. As always his direction is good this time too. Some scenes under his direction are very beautifully described in this movie. Written by Sounava Bose. Some special dialogues written by him made the film beautiful. The Cinematographer Gopi Bhagat's cinematography should be mentioned separately which is really good.

Nilayan Chatterjee is the Music Director of this film. The songs of this film are good . But we had to pay attention separately about the Background Score which is sometimes very slow. So some moments you feel bored.

Talking about performances, Dev (Bagha Jatin) is outstanding in this cinema. His acting is very noticeable and mind blowing. The audience can feel Jatindranath Mukherjee through the Dev. Carl A Harte (Charles Tegart), Sreeja Dutta (Jatindranath's Wife), Samiul Alam (Khudiram Bose), Sudipta Chakraborty (Binodbala) portrayed their characters very well. Other supporting casts are also good.

Jatindranath Mukherjee aka Bagha Jatin deserves highest respect and movie also attempted same but as a movie it failed on many fronts. First of all it is over cliched on many fronts. Writer presented story at shallow level and it clearly appeared that he did not worked hard to research and dig deeper. Both writer and director look ameteurs. Movie was created just for the sake of creating it. It had nothing to hook your attention throughout. There were many interesting historical events but were presented in over simplimisitic and banal manner. Director should watch movies like Udham Singh to know where does he stand. In short, the story had the potential but inept writer and director failed to do justice with that.

Bagha jatin is best patriotic flim in bengali dev as a jatindranath mukherjee character perfectly matched.. and tiger scene are out standing.. and also background music. All song best... and every scene is goosebumps.... and buribalam war goosebumps.... and when dev said vande Mataram different feelings every indian.. and villain charecter is good.. and all character well .... this is a must watch movie of every bengali .. dev every character perfectly matched.. he is trying to fresh content every movie.... as a bengali iam proud after watching this movie.... Arun roy is underrated director...

I am very sorry, but, Dev needs more time to portray a chacter like Bagha Jatin. He has become a superstar and has earned so much that he can take the responsibility of producing these movies. He should stick to his acting in commercial cinemas he has been doing in his earlier days. He should avoid characters like Bomkesh and Jatin Das. These characters should be left for Anirban, Abir and Param or may be Saswata Chatterjee. Dev is a good dancer, he has a very good physique. But, he is not at all an actor. He should concentrate only those movies where he can use is strengths. Everybody is there in the movie except Bagha Jatin. There is one character who is disguising as Bagha Jatin.
