Despite its notable strugglr with subplots and the predictability of character arcs, I found the core proposition to be quite heartwarming.
Sen's recent works demonstrated his ability to resonate with emotional themes even if they tend to be somewhat exaggerated and the same could be witnessed here in.
The narrative flows well, builds effectively, and prepares itself for the final act, but ultimately it all falls apart.
The last thirty minutes is a lethargic mess, and it is rather disappointing to state the same, as I genuinely adored the first two acts of the film and everything they showed during that time, especially all that political poking, however, It's in the concluding segment the film seems to grappel with delivering a satisfying outcome.

Honest, Unbiased, Upfront & Fearless Review of #Pradhan : Poor Direction. Worst Cinematography. Non hummable music. Sloth screenplay. Poor Editing.
Both the hero and heroine were disappointing. John, Sneha, Rupsha, Arindol, Biswajit, Tulika were behaving as Trophies pr Furniture or Flower Vasses. Editing could have been crisper. Have to return home purchasing a Saridon. Such a boring and mundane film.
Overall 1/5, One Time Watch.

Blockbuster maker Avijit Sen's 'Pradhan' deals with serious socio-political issues in West Bengal with great care. The ensemble cast, including Dev, Paran Bandyopadhyay, Anirban Chakraborty, Mamata Shankar, and Sabitri Chatterjee, did a splendid job. The screenplay hooks the audience from the beginning. The songs are mellifluous and well-placed. The use of the title track perfectly matches Dev's super screen presence. The only drawback of the film is its editing; it could have been more crisp. Kudos to the entire team for presenting this type of content. This is no less than bravery. A must-watch movie in this festive season.

The story reveals that the village panchayat had been dominated for fifteen years by a powerful local figure who sabotaged potential challengers and ensured unopposed elections. This resulted in widespread corruption and poverty among the residents.
The film delves into themes of political corruption, the significance of fair elections, and the impact of individual integrity in challenging systemic wrongdoing. It highlights the struggles in ensuring democratic processes in rural settings and underscores the power of collective action against entrenched corruption.
The film premiered on the OTT platform Hoichoi on August 9, 2024. The film's narrative of a civil servant standing up for fair elections bears an uncanny resemblance to the student-led uprising and the broader demand for political accountability in Bangladesh. Its emotional and political climax-a single vote bringing change-mirrors the hope many held on August 5th, 2024, for the beginning of a democratic reset.
