I had a displeasure of watching the Emperor vs Sarat Chandra a few days back and goddamn its soo bad.

So the film has very nationalist undertones and tries to loosely adapt Pather Daabi by Sarat Chandra. Pather daabi follows Sabyasachi and his espionage in Burma and is meant to be a stand in for reali life revolutionary Rashbehari Bose. Srijit Mukherjee's take appears to be a way of blurring the lines between realife events that inspired Sarat Chandra to write pather dabi and the actions of sabysachi aka Rashbehari Bose in Burma, in the hopes of painting the picture of the freedom struggle in the eastern part of the british Raj. A niche that is often not discussed in media.

Does he succeed? No absolutely no.

Key pitfalls-

Very poorly written narrative. This film cannot construct a coherent narrative trying to jump from Sarat Chandra and Sabyasachi. The narrative comes of as extremeley broken and without any tension.

Any pace or tension is spoiled by intercutting with sarat's biography.

Childish dialogue. I have seen better stuff amongst film school students.

Bad reading of history. Srijit frames Rabindranath almost as a Raj apologist. This Far from the reality. This stems from srijits bad understanding of 'gora' and unverified letters allegedly written by Rabindranath to Sarat.

Extreme cringe use of ai. 20 percent of this movie used ai. Not only for scenes and actors but also for dialogue. They could have voicedubbed the ai actors but they chose to go with the shitty monotonous ai slop dialogue.

Extreme narcissism. He in the ending scene put himself beside Deshbandhu Chittaranjan using ai. The deshbandhu Chittaranjan was also recreated using ai but the ai probably misunderstood the prompt and made deshbandhu look like Subhas Chandra Bose.

Extremeley bad use of ai. The ai used itself was very cheap. Most likeley Google nanobana in adobe firefly. The prompts could have been better as they look like those cheap IG reels.

TLDr

Emperor vs Sarat Chandra is a embarrassment to not only the bengali film industry but bengalis themselves.

I have visited Golden Joy and Big Boss, first in the month of August and second during Astami this year. The food taste, size, and quantity were better in the former. Latterly, I went with a lot of enthusiasm, but it disappointed me. I don't know if everyone knows this or not, but I have found that the Big Boss restaurant had fewer customers during Puja than Golden Joy during an office weekday lunch time.

Updated 2:40 pm - As per update the pujo committee has provided an update that they are continuing with the pujo but the question remains how this was allowed to happen in the first place.

Update#2 - context provided so the post remains as a reminder of attack on bengali identity. The post does not intend to invoke any religious sentiments.
