Kaalpurush is a Bengali movie directed by acclaimed filmmaker Buddhadeb Dasgupta that explores the complexities of human relationships and the pursuit of identity. The film stars renowned actor Mithun Chakraborty, Rahul Bose, and Sameera Reddy. The story revolves around a successful writer, Nabarun (Rahul Bose), who is on a visit to his hometown with his wife Ila (Sameera Reddy) and son. He visits his father, who has retired from a government job - Mahim (Mithun Chakraborty). Mahim leads a simple life, spending his days in his ancestral home. He is a man of few words, quiet and introspective. The father-son duo embarks on a journey to discover each other's personalities and the reasons behind their strained relationship.

The movie slowly unfolds the past life of Mahim and his struggles as a young man. The flashbacks show how Mahim fought against his conservative father's wishes to study and pursue his dreams. This journey of self-discovery is also an exploration of the complexity of the human spirit and the acceptance of one's identity.

Throughout the film, we see the characters' internal struggles and how their relationships have been affected by their experiences. The movie challenges societal norms by showing the difficulties of breaking away from the norms of the past that are still prevalent in society.

The cinematography and background score are striking and add to the movie's overall character. The director skillfully uses the scenic beauty of rural Bengal to add depth to already noteworthy visuals.

Kaalpurush is a deeply reflective and thought-provoking film, with some genuinely unique insights on the underlying causes of human behaviour. The movie forces the audience to question their own perceptions of identity, family, society and the world, making it an inspiring work of art.

Overall, Kaalpurush is a masterpiece of Bengali cinema and a must-watch for anyone interested in the dynamics of relationships, personal growth, and worldview.
