CHANDER PAHAR: is a Bengali adventure film based on novel of the same name by Bibhutibhusan Bandopadhyay directed by Kamaleswar Mukherjee starring Dev,Gérard Rudolf in lead roles.
PLOT: The story was a journey of young bengali guy Shankar(Dev) from village of Purulia to Mountain of Moon in Africa in the years 1909-1910.What difficulties he had to face during his journey,th film was all about.
PERFORMANCES: Dev as Shankar was very good.U can see Dev's real acting skills which is much better than in his usually brainless roles in Bengali commercial flicks.South african actor Gérard Rudolf as Diego Alvarez was brilliant.The lions, the snake, and the elephants were great as well.
Cinematography by Soumik Haldar was excellent.Graphics works could b done better.Killing of Bunyip was not there in original novel by Bibhutibhusan.It might b added by th director as revenge saga to add bengali film flavour in it.Retaining th originality,such changes are always welcome.
This is not a great film bt its very good attempt to make such film in tollywood.This film has raised th bar of th bengali film industry.
Definitely,Chander Pahar can b watched for a movie shot in Africa, using real animals, impressive stunts,good direction and great performances from all leading actors.
