About the trailer review:
From the name of the film Shastri it is quite evident that the film revolves around astrology. In the film we will find that in the past, Mithun was a simple man. Owing to the circumstances, he becomes a famous astrologer in the City. Once when he was a simple man, owing to his faith in astrology, he had mortgaged his wife's jewellery. But every time he got cheated. After going through all those incidents , he suddenly emerges as one of the best astrologers in the town - Parimal Shastri! After this he no more begs anything from anyone but blesses every one. But there is a stark enemy of this astrologer and that is Soham. In this film, which revolves around the concept of science versus astrology, the astrological side is represented by Mithun Chakraborty while the other person walking the path of science is done by Soham. Thus the film Shastri is about Mithun versus Soham.
Now let me talk about the cast of the film Shastri. After a long time Mithun is playing the protagonist in the film and with him there is Debashree Roy. After a long time they have paired up together and they look quite good in the film. Apart from them there are Rajatava Dutta, Sauraseni Maitra, Kaushik Sen, Anirban Chakraborty, Soham Chakraborty and others. And in the trailer we find a glimpse of each of them. After long time Mithun is back on screen and in his full
Glory. However, though Soham is playing a vital role in the film, he doesn't seem to do full justice to his character. Because in the trailer Soham's performance seems inconsistent.
Friends let me tell you one thing, after watching the trailer of Shastri you will be reminded of the film "Ami Subhash bolchi". In that film also, there was a simple man, who was pushed to the edge; from there he made a come back. Here also the plot seems same. Mithun trusted in astrology and was cheated several times and then he made a come back as an astrologer himself and become famous. It seems from the trailer that the film may show the aspects of
manipulation and diplomacy and exploitation that are related to astrology. And in the trailerthere is a touch of comedyalso. There is a conversation between Mithun Chakraborty and Anirban Chakraborty regarding Ravi Shastri and though the scenebis supposed to be comic it doesn't quite create the required effect. Thus the trailer at some points seem a bit inconsistent and particularly in those places where comedy is tried and yet it has not been successful. However as a commercial film, the trailer is absolutely perfect. And most importantly after watching the trailer I must say that Mithun Chakraborty in Shastri is simply fabulous. His looks, his acting everything is just wow. Even at this age he has given his hundred percent to the role. Once when Mithun did films like Mahaguru, the same energy is there in this film Shastri.
Now let me talk about the cast of the film Shastri. After a long time Mithun is playing the protagonist in the film and with him there is Debashree Roy. After a long time they have paired up together and they look quite good in the film. Apart from them there are Rajatava Dutta, Sauraseni Maitra, Kaushik Sen, Anirban Chakraborty, Soham Chakraborty and others. And in the trailer we find a glimpse of each of them. After long time Mithun is back on screen and in his full Glory. However, though Soham is playing a vital role in the film, he doesn't seem to do full justice to his character. Because in the trailer Soham's performance seems inconsistent.
Now let me talk about the background music of the film. There's a track in the film called Shastri. This track is fantastic . The colour edit, the background score everything together is creating the perfect ambience and that is a positive aspect of the trailer. Another track which has touched me is called Kal Kal Mahakal. This track is there in the scene where after becoming the astrologer Mithun Chakraborty is getting down from the car and only his hand is visible. Along with mithun's hand, he gradually moves forward and people gathered there are cheering for him. The background score, the colour gradation together have taken this trailer to a different level.
However the ending of the trailer is creating a disadvantage. Towards the end Mithun is saying "Shastri is coming". But what after that? The trailer abruptly ends there. If this was done differently then the trailer would have been even more appealing. But all in all the trailer of Shastri is good.
Verdict:
Going by the trailer of the film, this film is going to be popular at the box office. Mithun is back in his full glory after a long time. Moreover, the content of the film is also interesting. Definitely go to the hall and watch the movie. And let us know your opinion.
