Another superb movie by Koushik Ganguly demonstrating the presence of love beyond gender. Riddhi Sen was super in portraying the character of Puti and not to forget Ritwick, who was once again brilliant. Many things to learn from this movie and hopefully we will get more such movies from the brilliant director in the near future. Once again well done to the each and every film crew.
This movie indeed deserves international awards. The way riddhi sen acted, i cannot Imagine better acting than this.
Nagarkirtan (2017) written and directed by Kaushik Ganguly is a sensitive essay of Puti's (Riddhi Sen) life. Puti is actually born as Parimal, a trans woman who faces hurdles and gender identity issues from the very childhood. Having faced deception in a relationship early in life, Parimal escapes from Bagnan to Kolkata, where he is inducted into a clan of eunuchs and other trans women and earns a living from begging. Love blooms yet again in his life in the form of Madhu (Ritwick Chakraborty), who doesn't care about Puti's sexual identity but wants to lead a life together. Nagarkirtan charts their journey as they plan their own little bubble where outsiders will not be able to judge them, and how Puti will undergo the physical and hormonal transformation to achieve his own desired gender identity.
In a place like India, it's still early days, and albeit there may be sympathisers and broad minded individuals, they remain far and few. Puti and Madhu's journey isn't an easy one - as they find themselves cornered by the insensitive and uninformed population that pushes them to the edge of a tragic consequence.
Riddhi Sen is simply awe inspiring. His performance is well nuanced, delicate and evokes instantaneous compassion with the character. Ritwick Chakraborty is natural with his flair for realism as always, helping Riddhi Sen bring out the very best. Together it's a crackling combination that stirs up a degree of discomfort initially, and then blends in empathy to the extent that makes us root for the couple and a happy ending. Nagarkirtan finally belongs to Kaushik Ganguly for his competent direction, costume design by Gobinda Mondal, cinematography by Sirsha Ray and a classic editing by Subhajit Singha.

A Transgender love-drama movie. Extraordinary performances by lead pair. Both nailed it. A typical love story between A flute player and A eunuch. Love has no gender,cast,religion. The story is too good. And for this kind of story ..the Director show parallel screenplay which makes it even better. The connections linked present and past are too good especially in second half. With an outstanding climax Nagarkirtan steal our hearts. When the show is over almost my heart is filled with vaccum space. I was struck with unexpected ending. Hard to digest. Must watch. Highly recommended.
"Nagarkirtan" is affectionate, revolutionary & immanently shattering all at the same time.
An unconventional story of love that knows no bounds. A daring narrative challenging the very foundation of Gender norms & Societal acceptance.
Harnessing moral values underneath, the storyline consists of two human beings deeply in love with each other! Separating themselves from so called social criterion, in the name of Love. Kaushik Ganguly's poignancy in direction helps to craft an ethereal tale, sculpting inmost longings of an innocent soul. And a dithering young bloke, struggling to come to terms with his sexual preferences.
Technically it's as good as it gets. With astutely conducted social commentary aside, Cinematography speaks volumes! The Soundscore deriving nuances from Kirtan; a recitation of chants or songs that express loving devotion to deities! Those Soulful notes gently tugging the heartstrings!
When the performances are concerned, the name of 'Riddhi Sen' comes first. What an exemplary, awe-inspiring act; take a bow! Playing a Transgender character, in that tender age; audacious to say the least! He won the National Award for this role and I'm not surprised. Ritwick Chakraborty as the second lead plays his part with enough proficiency. Handily complimenting such arresting feat from Riddhi!
Sad to say, for few of the notable lapses as per the backstories of these two lead go and a somewhat abridged annotation regarding the betterment of the LGBTQ community restrained me from giving the perfect mark here! Albeit I revere the importance of the message it delivers and the righteous value it bears!
