Jyestho Putra - Bengali film superstar Indrajit Ganguly (Prasenjit) learns about the accidental demise of his father back at his ancestral home in Ballavpur village, and returns to base to join his younger brother Partho (Ritwick Chakraborty) for the rituals. He is accorded the status of a state guest there by the government, putting him up in a palatial bungalow with complete police protection. There's adulation for him in the village and he is thronged by hundreds everywhere he goes. Reuniting with his family after twelve years and meeting Sudeshna (Gargee Roychoudhury) who he left behind, perhaps fearing being clutched back to mediocrity, Indrajit tries his best to be normal and controlled. But Partho wouldn't approve of the crowds disturbing the family space and makes his dissatisfaction an outrage.

Through a series of short exchanges between the two, director Kaushik Ganguly builds up a delicious yet volcanic meltdown where the two brothers express their contempt for each other. Indrajit accuses his younger brother of suffering from a complex as the latter may have been a superior actor but is languishing as a theatre lead in a small town, and believes that the reason for his outrageous behaviour is jealousy. Partho on the other hand admits to what he calls a divine injustice for not being successful. Partho finally requests his elder brother to not perform the last rites of their father - according to him, the privilege of the elder son isn't by birth, but by discharging the duties of being one, something that he has always shouldered.

It's a fascinating, dark and riveting duel between the two brothers stuck in their individual bubble, one boastful of his achievements due to his sheer hard work, and the other accepting the hurtful reality of his inability to create a niche for himself. Ritwick gives a powerhouse performance with an immersive volatility whilst Prasenjit is sophisticated and subdued in his rendition. Gargee Roychoudhury is warm and mellow. Do watch Jyestho Putra as it holds forth life's reality that one can instantly associate with.

It is a good story, with some great performances. Some moments touched the heart. But I think may be I was expecting some more, which is why I thought the ending was alright for me.

The story of this movie is just amazing. Maximum number of people can say this is the story of only two brothers but I think the moral story of this movie is another thing. After you watching the full movie then you can understand what they want to you realise you.

The moment you see that the original concept is by legendary Rituparno Ghosh.. your anticipation is sky high. And only Kaushik Ganguly could have done justice to that.

The plot revolves around the proceedings of 3-4 days only at a small village but still each character is established so beautifully and the narration is so intriguing that you will be enjoying every second of it. With a very modest 1hr59mins run time, you'll be wanting more.

The two primary characters portrayed by the two most finest actors in today's Tollywood industry. You will be stunned how beautifully crafted the scenes of their conversations are. Other actors played their part well. At the end of story, you'll happy and sad at the same time beside being unable to judge who is right and who's wrong in the story.

Though its a 125 min movie... I took 150 minute bcz had to rewind and rewatch the flawless expressions of these two greats. High level of acting and cinematography. Kaushik is also the master who knows how to deal with these masters.
