Its a predictable story of the life of a silver screen hero. The fame comes with baggage of isolation. Friends and lovers are sacrificed to maintain the image of a movie star. Gradually, with time, the value of success itself gets diluted and a love-and-hate relationship with life sets in. All this is appropriately captured in the movie. The Nayak drifts from righteous inspiration early in his career to being jaded, though extremely popular. Uttam Kumar does well, he does not shy away from depicting real on reel. There are some extraneous plots in the movie, which act as fillers without taking away from the main story.The other reviews are over-the-top, perhaps colored by their Bengali nationalism.
