Scary movie... The film is a warning that it is impossible to drive a living person into a corner like this! God, it happened!!! This is a gift! voiced the most, in my opinion, chic film of my beloved Mithun in his entire career. Thank you to the people who did this. Special thanks Alexander Lyskov, in the voiceover of which I have already watched many films.
The story begins on May 21, 1971, with the escape of several Naxalite youths. The most famous among them is Anirban Sen (Mithun Chakraborty). On this day, two fugitives, Anirban and their leader Shankar are hiding from the police. 42 years later, a fax machine arrived at the headquarters of Kolkata Metro Railways. Today, a man named Anirban will publicly commit suicide. Questions about his identity and demands begin to emerge as news takes center stage in the city. The news has shocked the entire city, from Calcutta police headquarters to news channels. On the other hand, Siddharth Choudry, CEO of Bengali’s number one news channel, is using the incident to boost his channel’s ratings.
The plot of the film revolves around two longtime associates who at a certain stage of their lives were forced to separate roads. Over the past four decades, a lot of their lives have changed. But have their principles changed? Did it not happen that Anirban and Siddharth changed their views and went the wrong way?
It has long been known to all Indomans and fans of Mithun that he was once a convinced Naxalite in Bengal. He was on the Bengali police suspect list. After the tragedy, when his only brother was electrocuted in an accident, Mithun wanted to leave the Naxal movement. But the group made it harder for him because no one was allowed to just walk away from the Naxalite business. Risking his life, Mithun left the Naxalite flock and returned to his family. He began his career in Bollywood in 1976 with a film directed by Mrinal Sen, after which there was no turning back.
This time Mithun decided to play the role of naxalite. Seeing the sensitivity of the issue, he decided not to promote it. This is a film that touches on many social issues and has a strong political coloring. This film tried to make life, but still had to “squeeze” in the prescribed framework. Because the Bengalis have not forgotten the 1971 uprising. Because in reality, the speech of Anirban Sen could not remain personal, which compatriots watch only to put it on the Internet. Too many people in India find themselves in the situation of Anirban Sen. And then the Naxalites revolt again.
The chief police officer of the state of West Bengal, in his speech, once in the heat said that for officials, Naxalites are worse than the anti-corruption committee. The committee itself is mired in corruption, and the “forest partisans” deal with the arrogant powerful more fairly for the people. Bearing in mind all this and the real Naxalites, the film "Naxalite" underwent strict censorship at the level of the script, because in a certain presentation could call for a riot.
But what is left on the screen excites the soul. And he did it of course Mithun Chakraborty. Without him, the movie wouldn't be like that. No one could have done what Mithun did. Awesome character, awesome character! Mithun set the tone for the entire narrative and the film's directing. Without him, there would be no movie. All the other actors simply followed Mithun, adhered to his interpretation of both the episode and the film.
But it seems to me that despite the director’s attempt to end everything on a major note of a possible bright future, this future does not exist. And the little boy who put on a mask with the face of Anirban Sen at the end just warns that in the vastness of Hindustan, a war has been raging for decades, the end of which is invisible. Because the way in which the government will change the attitude towards its own people in India today does not exist.
By the way, they say that Mithun did not like the ending. Personally, I was shocked by the ending. It is terrible when people live with such a sense of needlessness in their souls, with the fact that the country for which they put all their youth at the service of it betrayed them, simply forgetting about them. I know you, don't I? We also have many great people who died in obscurity, forgotten by everyone, and most importantly by the state for which they gave their lives. This is, I believe, the greatest betrayal in the world, when governments and countries forget their true heroes. And then people survive as best they can. You can't do that.
Once they stirred the minds of the Indians, led the youth, marched ahead of all for the liberation of India from English oppression. But did they fight for that kind of society? For a society that has become a consumer, for the rich, who are getting richer and the poorer? For political lies, for corruption, for corrupt police, for bribe-takers and lying businessmen stuffing their safes at every opportunity?
No! They fought for equality, for a decent life for all people, every inhabitant of Great India. For future generations to live in peace, love and harmony, and not become toys in the hands of politicians, not vegetated in disease, poverty and dirt. For India to be respected by the whole world and considered with her in all spheres of life.
So at what stage of development did India turn wrong after liberation? When did the global changes that caused this country to decline? All these issues are addressed in the film.
The movie is just a bombshell, incredibly true. Praise be to all the gods now spoken. And it can finally be seen. All fans of Mithun Chakraborty, and all fans of true stories with political coloring, watch it!
I hope that India will wake up and everything will happen again. And again, a new Anirban Sen...
