Oti Uttam

A complete crap. Just giving 2/10 for the sake of the name "Uttam Kumar". There is absolutely no story, pretty poor cinematography and use of AI, also the sound and background score is pathetic. Acting of the current characters are also awful. At least some good storyline must have been there to respect the legacy and the nostalgia that we have. Only innovative idea can't create masterpieces. Mr Srijit should understand that he is not a Nolan or Scorsese or Tarantino. Overall, a complete wastes of time, money, resource and efforts. My mistake, I took my entire family without getting proper reviews beforehand.

Yes, obviously innovative in its approach but this film does not stand to the expectations of all the audience. The first half is very good actually, presenting a film mixed with romance comedy and horror elements ( talking about the planchet. Though very little, but still). There are many good scenes and sequences in the first half. While the first half attracts the second half districts.

This film could have been something else.

What I felt Uttam Kumar is the main thing in this film. That is not a problem, but when you want to produce a film thinking that he( Uttam Kumar) will manage every flaw of this film, problem starts there.

This film is average. I felt Srijit has made a film out of a bad Bengali TV serial.

What a movie , what a great initiative, lovely emotions ,love for this movie , love for uttam kumar flows . A historic day for all of us. Proud moments. Again to see uttam kumar after 42 years is a big thing we are watching his movie in theaters for the fist time. If this movie was not made we our generation will never had the chance to see him on the big screen.

The story is so good , great job by the director and the production house what a job . Looking forward to watch the movie again and again.

This has changed the face of bengali cinema. Am just overwhelmed By seeing the movie, hats off.

Seen the magic of Uttam Kumar in a cenema hall for the first time. Never seen people staying in the hall after the movie ended just to see some pictures and videos of an actor. This thing no actor can never have!

How wonderful it is! A person is still capturing and the screen and running the whole movie after 54 years of his death!

Story was average but watching it was awesome with some friends and elderly person with beautiful romanticism.

Awesome charm happens with every presens of Uttam Kumar with his unique looks and dialogues.

Kissing scenes was a nonsense act. Shouldn't hv added those so called cheap modernism.

Overall the movie is good.

Srijit tried to reverse engineer a plot out of Uttam Kumar's roles. Managed to carve out the most generic and shallow story - love triangle.

The storyline would feel very abrupt. No character consistency whatsoever.

I guess the story would have had a lot more substance to it if it would just revolve around the protagonist's love for Uttam. It'd probably have the Gandhi vibe from Lage Raho Munna Bhai. The intention of this setup was so novel that it had to work for Hirani.

But credit where its due - the scenes of Uttam just walking around the city, getting mesmerized over his statue and the station was so good. The thought of him coming back as a soul and, for him to realize he's a king and the respect he commands over the masses was all I wanted this movie to be about.

Also, the end credits >> entire movie!
