Storyline :
The movie is based on the current socio-political conditions in the
country and hardships the common man faces everyday in his struggle for
an existence and how Netaji Subhash Bose would have reacted to all these
if he would have been amidst us today. It reflects on the life and
principles of Subhash Chandra Bose, firebrand freedom fighter. It is all
about the Bengali roots that is being forgotten so easily today by
Bengalees all around the globe. Hopefully this movie will re-instill the
affinity and respect that Bengalis ought to have about their origin,
rich heritage and culture.
Ami Subhash Bolchi Movie Reviews :
Shiraye shiraye jege
uthuk uttapto Bangali rokto. Let Bengalis shine again in all fields...
This in short, sums up "Ami Subhash Bolchi". Ridiculed by society,
cursed by one's own, laughed upon by the masses, the "useless" Bangali
takes pride in hiding their identity. Bangali jonmo is more of a bane
than a boon. They would much rather go for an affidavit and change the
"old fashioned" name of Charulata Bose. The Kapoors, Khans seem to be
the ones with class and panache. Swallowing insults, be it from the
boss, bystander, biwi, beta or even the fishmonger is a way of life.
Trapped in such an existence is Debabrata Bose (Mithun). "Damn Bangali
Bose", "Jato dosh, Debu Bose" or "Namei Bose, kichu kortey bollei
behosh" mirror his status. But then comes the twist in the tale. In
Debabrata's dreams appears Netaji and lectures him on the pride of being
born as a Bengali. Now enlightened, the down and out Debu Bose 'rises'
like the phoenix, finds his
voice and spine. He 'rises' from the
dumps to destroy the demons (read the corrupt corporation officers and
the realtor Ghosalia) and protect his home and hearth. He proclaims,
"Ami Bangali gorbe gorbito ami Bangali, ami
gorbito ami Bangali."
In fact, all Bengalis have reason to take pride in Mithun's Debu Bose
act. From the meek and docile Bose, who commands little respect from his
family to the transformed Bose, who boldly takes upon the corrupt
practices in the system, Mithun is a treat to watch. Considering that
this is Barkha's first major Bengali film, she needs a pat on the back.
Though traces of her accented Bengali persist, the actor has tried to
give it her best. The father-daughter sequence, where Mithun apologizes
for withdrawing money from her account to buy a bike for his son, Rahul
(Shaheb), packs in the right emotional punch. Shaheb too does his bit in
the limited screen space he gets. Laboni's acting skills can hardly be
questioned, while Anindo scores as Netaji.
With dialogues such
as "Je jaat jug jug dhore shuye achhe, take ghumer osudh dile overdose
hoye jabe na?" and comic interludes, "ASB" does have its magical moments
and mass connect. It now needs to be seen whether Mithun's "boldest
film ever" makes an equally bold impression on the audience.
