Aador Film Review
"Aador," a riveting Bengali film promises an enthralling cinematic experience. Under the masterful direction of DebDut Ghosh, this captivating movie stars talented individuals such as Rajatava Dutta, Tulika Basu, Basabdatta Chatterjee, and Sabyasachi Chakraborty in pivotal roles. Adding to the allure, Manasi Sinha, a renowned actor, also joins the remarkable ensemble cast of "Aador." Prepare to be enchanted as this story unfolds and immerses you in a world of compelling narratives and captivating performances.
With some of the drama of the story, Devdoot seeks to show an intimate bonding of animal and human love against a universal, rural Bengal backdrop. And while doing that, he has narrated another short story in the beginning and end of the film 'Aador'. The plan is good, but he could have gone straight to the story. The heart of the story is the unspoken sweet relationship that owner Jairam and his little granddaughter Madhu develop with an elephant named Adrini.
Zaindarbari's lawyer Jairam believed that one of his requests would be granted. He wanted an elephant for the wedding of the zamindar's daughter. The zamindarginni did not send the elephant. Ukilbabu's honor is hurt. Having spent all the money he had saved, he bought an elephant and appeared at the zamindar's house in the evening of the wedding day. Meanwhile, the elder son Gerber to marry his granddaughter Madhu. The father forced Jairam to sell the love elephant by saying that the bridegroom demanded ten thousand rupees as a pledge.
Not telling the end of the story. Just know that the director Devdut could not do the job of developing the elephant's relationship, friendship and love with owner Jairam and his granddaughter. However, the despairing reaction of those two knowing that the elephant has to be sold, Jairam's crying, despair all seem imposed. As a spectator, the sadness could not be felt. It would have been better to picturize a song from the film with grandfather and granddaughter. If the relationship between humans and animals is not properly established, then the emotional scenes that follow do not hold much appeal to the audience.
But the place where Rajatava Dutta burst into tears while saying goodbye to 'Adarini' in an emotional tone and saying "Don't be jealous of father, don't be angry with me" etc. If the first half of the film could have laid the foundation for the loving relationship between man and animal, then the scene could have been more interesting.
