      Buddhadeb never learns!!

      This movie like any other Buddhadeb Dasgupta movies is wondering without a plot or story line. Even an aimless movie can be good movie if the execution is perfect. But in this 'art movie' of Buddhadeb, he fails in that department too. Ad nauseating overdose of 'symbolism' (he never abandoned his ambition to create at least one scene like the legendary filmmaker Ray), anachronistic events of rural Bengal, clichés galore and obsession with the nihilism make this movie a mess. If you really like to see good Bengali movies, go for old classics of Ray or Ghatak or for that matter go for the new movies by a few contemporary directors who make good movies without being 'artificial arty'. Buddhadeb, it seems, never learns from the past.

      Kaalpursh is a masterpiece!

      Dasgupta's Kaalpursh is easily one of the finest films to come out in Bollywood. A mind-blowing astounding film. What a film! A film which isn't a commercial in any aspect, yet your gloved in it. Any award given to this flick will be insulting it. Two Thumps Way Up!

      Performances: Mithun Chakraborty is a Legendary actor of Indian Cinema, My favorite actor. His performance here once again proves that he's the best in the business. Rahul Bose is outstanding, he's an actor who has the potential to go down as one of the most natural actors of Indian Cinema. Sameera Reddy is effortless. Others are also Good.

      'Kaalpurush' is outstanding, mind blowing film, Which is rich in each and every aspect. Bravo!

      Where is the story?

      The movie is ostensibly about a father and son and the parallelism in their lives. In reality, there is much too little substance in the story to merit a two hour movie. The director seems enamored with certain visual and musical metaphors. It will not be unkind to say that he does not spare a thought for the poor viewer who has taken two hours out of his life to watch his movie. The acting is uniformly poor, and the fact that none of the protagonists can speak the language unaccented makes it worse. But in the end, leaving aside the overindulgence in metaphors and camera angles and the poor movement, there is just nothing in the story or the dialog to hold an intelligent viewer's attention for longer than 30 minutes. A poor effort.

      A rear masterpiece from Buddhadev Dasgupta

      A very strong message for the male community. Till now the suicidal rate in males is higher than females. No one care about the mental health of the male. Society always keeps tremendous pressure to male to be successful his life from every aspect. Some males can handle that, some can't. Buddhadev Dasgupta urges all the victimized male persons to think about life's meaning like Rahul Bose. Most art film makers are mostly concerned about female issues. Thanks, Buddhadev Dasgupta to bring a male issue at least one time in his film.

      Review.

      An artist try to develope his feelings,perspective and also contemporary social status through his work like film,poetry,novel,etc. Buddhadeb Dasgupta also has trying to express his nostalgic feeling through his non commercial movie 'Kalpurus'. It seems to me that he unable to fully express his great feelings through this form of art.

      The actor Mithun chakrabarti and Rahul bose both are unable to develope their character properly.

      I'm very grateful for this great nostalgic feelings of Buddhadeb Dasgupta. I request other film makers to try this piece in renew and more develope maner. If they succes then that was a mile stone in bengali art movie.
