Film Review - Iti Sreekanto
|
| |
 |
'….Touring
is one subject, but more cumbersome is to narrate the
touring….' - this was addressed by Sreekanto in the
Upanyas of Sarat Chandra. In fact since the character
of Sreekanto was depicted by Sarat Chandra, the middle
and class middle aged male folks had the fascination of
behaving like Sreekanto - a man who had wheels fitted
in his feet, who never preferred to stay at one place,
who preferred to have the spontaneous service of females
and over all who was recognized by all as a special and
typical character. Not only that, as we talk about Sreekanto,
we recollect the names like Rajlakhsmi and Kamallata.
These trio will remain long in the memory of book lovers. |

It was the great actor Uttam Kumar who dared to play the roll
of Sreekanto in the celluloid. He had won over the elderly persons
for his model role of Sreekanto in the movie. After about four
decades, veteran Film Director Anjan Das chose to opt for Sreekanto
in the second spell at the Tollywood regime. Anjan chose Adil
Hossain as Sreekanto. Soha Ali Khan (daughter of Sharmila Tagore)
and Reema Sen acted as Rajlaksmi and Kamallata.

The
acting of the key players in the movie has certainly been
praise worthy. Camera of Sirsha Roy played pivotal role
in the filming. Above all, Anjan Das has taken the story
to a new dimension in the movie. The audience has got
a different taste and experience from the movie during
the time when films are full of dance, sex and violence.
The movie has begun with sensational praise of the audience.
Let's not discuss about the story in details, else the
enthusiastic cine lovers will loose charm of enjoying
the old wine in new bottle. Yet, one major point could
be unfolded that the director could not make it clear
as to why Sreekanto had more attachment towards Kamallata
than Rajlakhsmi who was ready to sacrifice all for Sreekanto.
After all it is to be seen, how long the movie attract
the cine charmers and enjoy the favour of the audience.
