Shontaan

Very good film. Mithun Chakraborty, rithik Chakravarti combination is perfect. We all will watch this film by prospect of review and trailer. This type of social films sinking out the Bengali film industry bahar on and special story, screening, social work. We are the West Bengal's common people and our family members are the best person for this type of film liker. We wish this type of film much and more with the hand of best actors like Mithun Chakraborty, Parambrata chattopadhyay, Jeet madnani, rudranil Sengupta, khoraj Mukherjee, Saswata Chatterjee, Vishwanath Basu , Poran Bandopadhyay Rajatava dutta. Etc great actor...

Shontaan is a Bengali film directed by well known Bengali Director Raj Chakraborty. Film deals with the problem of aged parents who are completely neglected by their son. Mithun Chakraborty and Anasuya Majumder potrait the roles of parents and Ritwik Chakraborty potrait the character son. The story revolves on the basis of a Court room drama when Mithun Chakraborty is forced to place a case against his son who is completely reluctant to help his lonely parents even inspite of having a white collar job , he refused to give money for operation of her mother. This son with his wife live a sophisticated life but not extends a minimum support to his own parents. Subhashree Ganguly as a lawyer gives her support to Mithun Chakraborty to fight for justice against his son. Raj Chakraborty has done a fantastic job to handle both family drama and court room drama with essence. He is definitely one of the finest Director of modern Bengali Cinema. Last 20 minutes of the film makes you cry and you leave the hall with a strong social message. The main strong point of the film is performance. Ritwik Chakraborty as son, Anasuya Majumder as mother and Subhashree Ganguly as lawyer give their career best performance. Ritwik is so natural as a bad son, as a spectator you will hate him. Mithun at mid seventies makes wonder, poor man Amitabh Bachhan, hero of front bencher, now melts the heart of urban centric audiences who were slightly indifferent about him even during his Disco era. After Projapati, Kabuliwala now Shontaan it is 3 rd hits in three consecutive year in completely different genres which are differed from typical Mithun Genera. Three time National award winner actor now justifies his talent which is seriously underrated in his so called masala bollywood films. Sohini Sengupta and Kharaj Mukherjee justify themselves in their short roles. Music is as per the message of the film. Lastly it is a must watch film for every family.

Outstanding movie.

During the controversy I thought the movie might be avarage but after watching the movie I can definitely say Movie was great,Raj Chakroborty great direction, Mithun da's splendid performance.. Rittik also.. Subhashree very average performance. Even at this age he can ruin the box office...Very great acting sense...New generation actors should learn like Dev Jeet.

Pros: Mithun, Story, Direction, Rittik and others actors. Last 30 min is just awesome.

Cons: very less. I can say Son's character might be well established.

After Porineetaa..Shontan..I can the day the best movie of Raj Chakroborty.

Everyone is exceptional and to good movie to watch with family together, we finally have a movie based on injustice against old parents that narrated as so well. Salute to the director and all team to present new movie. Inspire of all generation this movie and the climax is emotional .this movie to be emotional and real life based heart touching movie.its just fantastic cried heart out.at the end.acting is well good. This is a mountain of emotion. Raj chakraborty did a great work and its a sure watch for all age groups. Everyone should watch this movie. Specially ritwick chakraborty throughout negetive part and also emotional part very much commendable.

The narrative may have its fair share of shortcomings, particularly in the writing that contributed to a subdued second half (with the sole exception of the ending), it still managed to evoke an wide spectrum of emotions that such stories are meant to inspire.

As someone who values emotional connections with on-screen characters, I found the experience to be cathartic. Even though I do not typically gravitate towards family dramas, this one struck a chord that set it apart from others.

Not to mention, performances by both Anashua Mam and Mithun Daa were profoundly moving; their portrayals felt sincere and, most importantly genuine in intent.

Lastly I just wanna say, take care of your Mom & Dad they have sacrificed much for your well being all they seek in return is your love and affection.

They won't ask for anything more, once they are gone, nothing will ever be the same. Cherish every moment while you can.
