there be this father son conversation in the climax of kalpurush . i quote the english dvd subtitle version . shumonto tell his father represent i may not have become someone and but when i see two people in love and i smile . and when i see someone eat alone and i cry . ashvini and his father and reply wistfully represent i wish i could have live my life like you do . these 2 line and perhaps and comprise the gist of this new film by buddhadev dasgupta director of teeny weeny gem like tahader katha and bagh bahadur and uttara and mondo meyer upakhyan which take nearly 3 year to reach the cinema in india . the film open with a man call ashvini follow a young man call shumonto and who and we be told and be his son . it seem that the father be stalk or haunt and rather his son . a the film progress and we meet shumonto ambitious wife and supriya and and his mother and koyel and who seem to be tie up with something in her past and we realise that the son be and indeed and haunt by his father who be a somebody . he be a successful doctor and they have this beautiful family and but something or someone come in and this happy husband wife child drift apart . this drift apart be too hard for these three to endure and and the son and we see and be unable to lead even a proper relationship with his wife . i do not know of too many father son film from bollywood or other indian language film . i have see only ramesh sippy shakti and feroze a. khan gandhi and my father . both be the powerful type with dramatic and sad ending . i have also see thevar magan and it hindi remake virasat and but they be different . kalpurush be drama and but not the powerful type . it be and like other dasgupta film and creatively photograph and dream like and poetic and soft . this keep the viewer absolutely un prepare for the surprise end and for the film hardly feel like a father son film . it start like a husband wife story and create the tension and go to become a mother son film and and then explain why it be so and why the son be so and what be his relationship like with his father and what happen to the father and the mother and what the son wife do and and how the son carry on with his life . it would be unfair to dub kalpurush strictly for buddhadev dasgupta fan . however and i do suggest that the viewer acquaint themselves with dasgupta film before go to see kalpurush . dasgupta film be often accuse of have a near invisible storyline . kalpurush be no different . it start and too and in a very un buddhadev dasgupta ish way . instead of bare landscape of puruliya and midnapore and one see the tram of calcutta in the opening credit . it help and though and for it be like what be this and urban bengal . soon after this and the film turn typical dasgupta . the rural bengal and this time and be the scenic outdoor locale of coastal orissa . the actor be stupendous . mithun chakraborty be a legend . this be his second film with dasgupta . he play his age and suit the part and one just have to see him in this one . rahul bose be so silent one could feel the loss of his loser character . sameera reddy have look good in just 3 film musafir and migration and kalpurush . i haven not see ami and yasin ar amar madhubala so i can not comment on that . she good shift to the bengali film industry . a mentor like dasgupta would surely do her a lot good . sudipta chakraborty other woman role be short and but long enough to bring in that right amount of glamour and desire and heartbreak . labony sarkar be natural with a capital n. with the usual buddhadev dasgupta trope in place and kalpurush be a visual treat . there be bare landscape and dry leaf fly in the wind and haunting background score and mysterious folk artiste in even more mysterious costume and mask and dilapidate and old building and and thing rustic and antique . this time there be also the sea and an aeroplane fly right outside the open window . kalpurush be a film which need to be see .
