Moner Manush

Gautam ghose did an amazing job in directing, doing the cinematography and moreover by writing the wonderful script of MONER MANUSH. It is an incredible story telling through celluloid. I will recommend everybody to see this movie. The songs of Lalon Fakir & their philosophy are immortal always and a true justice to them has been done in this film. The eternal quest for self is so inevitable for everyone and we do not realize that. Moner Manush seems to inculcate this through the vision of Lalon with accurate delineation. Capturing the time of this legend is another forte of Mr. Ghose. The social turbulence and narrow cast system of then was portrayed properly. How a man without any education is teaching the society the futile notion of cast system through his songs & philosophy is amazing.

I haven't seen such an amazing interpretation about the falsity of society through the view of Lalon Fakir. Someday he'll be the greatest Bangali of all time. This cult is above all the politics & religion. This war for truth will be on and on... & this quest of freedom should be every man's heartiest desire in life.

Gautam Ghosh usually makes films that you can enjoy with the heart. Moner Manush is also one of them. The movie tells us about the story of a Sufi-Singer Lalon aka Lalon Fakir. His poems are usually called "Lalon-Giti". Both the starting and the finishing are awesome, regarding, as the whole movie is in between! Prosenjit as Lalon acted superb. There is a mix of Bangladeshi and Indian actors and actresses in the movie that eventually tells us the whole point, as songs are not only with any land or any region rather it is for the universe, the planet and the whole wide globe. The movie might seem a bit slow. The songs are well sung according to me. But the truth is you'll never know when it's going to end. So, just watch the movie and see it for yourself.

One of the best performance by Prosenjit in his career and such a wonderful experience seeing this movie worth watch it again. Specially the immortal songs of Lalon became more beautiful with great visual storytelling by goutom ghosh..I never seen such a movie with everything so perfectly presented..Be it the narrative or music and specially the acting was just superb and brilliant as well as the originality of the story and philosophy of the legend folk Lalon Fakir..I think that this film should always be remembered as a major benchmark in the history of bengali cinema in visual storytelling.

I was surprised last year when I heard Goutam Ghose directed a film on Lalan Fakir and Prosenjit Chatterjee is starring as Lalan. I thought what a terrible curse is going to fall on Bengali film's.

I watched over tons of Prosenjit Chatterjee's movie when I was a child. I hate all his commercial films as a rationalistic quality-film lover. But it is my greatness to see some exceptional acting by Prosenjit Chatterjee in "Moner Manush".

Director Goutam Ghose lefts no criticism to the viewers. His brilliant efforts makes the film above and beyond in sanctity. The location is perfectly going with the central theme. We studied Lalan Fakir in our history of Bengali Literature and the director has visualized every scene like eye witness.

I should not tell the story just to increase lines. The film is completely discoverable. The best biographical film ever made in Indian Film History. I am giving 9.5/10 in this review.

As the film ends my facebook status was: "A must watch biographical film. The world should watch or the world would miss. The choice is your's." No more words "excellent".
