Uma

It's like trying to gag you with emotions and that doesn't work!! Would have loved if it was not so over the head! The recreation of Durga Puja of such magnitude can cost around 15-20 crores! I can see why Srijit showed that the father worked in switzerland--of course he can be an industrialist with huge amount of money --but yeah this kind of grandeur wasn't needed I could understand why the director had to show the director's past life to highlight the kind of efforts he is putting in the activity but dialogues like --Its not just about your daughter, but its about making the greatest film of my life! Dialogues like that leave a sour taste and you feel like whats his real intention was

Then Srijit himself played a cameo -- that particular role was just not needed!! I can go on and on and on ..I miss to understand how Srijit cant see these flaws when we ordinary viewers can see this.. Acting in general was OK -- nothing to complain about--5 stars from me for the effort in general as the attempt was genuine, acting was adequate, music was nice.

A diffrent story. Plot of the story is inspired from Evan's life. But, I could say Srijit is successful here. Jishu, Anjan & obviously the little angel Sara acted more than their best! A great family-art film. In reality this type of matter actually doesn't/so rarely can occur. But the film focused on the love between Parents & thei Childs. On that sense it's successfu. Best of luck to 'Sara' the upcoming superstar!

Uma(2018) Bengali Drama Director-Srijit Mukherjee The film is inspired by the story of Evan Lesrage.

Uma,a small NRI girl,is detected with a terminal illness.Her father decided to recreate entire Durga Puja festival of kolkata in march to fulfill her long unfulfilled desire to see durga puja in Kolkata, as doctors said her daughter will not make it to October. The film announces the comeback of srijit after suffering a phase of his previous critically and commercially unsuccessful films.He has regained his fans after this flick. The film emotionally drains everyone with a soul.The film plunges deep in to the heart and will make you pray for uma. Every single performance however small it may appear will appeal to you,the whole ensemble cast has broken all the barriers of perfection. Jishu (playing Uma's father) has enacted his role of a hapless and desperate father with brilliance.Rudranil,neel,srabanti.... their performances are strong and provoking. The performance that stands out tall are that of Anjan Dutta and Anirban.Not for a moment,you will think anjan dutta is enacting his dialogues from a script,it seems, he has surpassed the bounds of spontaneity to depict his role as the eccentric film director, and anirban, this man is a epitome of talent,what a beautiful performance. The movie will carry u with the performance so much that you will not be able to single out the errors which will be obvious on second viewing. For the sake of excessive melodrama they can be neglected.The songs are the pillars of the film..specially the title song of the film.

The film is made from heart and will not disappoint you.

A Family Movie Indeed. You Can Watch With All Your Family Members. Turned Out to Be A Good Movie Directed By Srijit Mukherjee.

This movie was gripping from the beginning as I went with low expectations after the not so brilliant "Yeti Obhijan".

The performances were really convincing and the phenomenal performance by Sir Anjan Dutta took my breath away.It was an emotional journey right from start to the end.

I can only praise what Srijit Da has brought to the industry. This guy has single handedly changed how many youths in this generation has changed their views about Tollywood.
