The teaser for the much anticipated ‘Nati Binodini’ is out for four days now and it is mostly getting positive reviews from people. But there are also netizens who think that some other actresses could have played the lead role in a better way.
‘Nati Binodini’ is a biopic for the first theater actress in India. Her story is a story of courage, heartbreaks, dissent and artistic prowess. With her performances, she came into close contact with people like Sri Ramakrishna, Girish Chandra Ghosh and many others. The film stars some powerful actors in major roles. Koushik Ganguly is playing Girish Ghosh, actors like Rahul Bose and Om Sahani are in other roles. Rukmini Moitra as Binodini, is according to some people, not a very good decision. Someone like Koel Mallick or Sohini Sarkar could have done justice to the role.
This is a movie that has to be promoted for Hindi audiences as well. There were rumors that Kangana Ranaut was going to make a movie on Binodini. There are still people who would like to watch this movie in Hindi, but it is not being promoted very well. We have seen the tendency of crossovers in Bengali cinema recently. Aneek Dutta’s ‘Aporajito’ Ray made a cameo in Srijit Mukherjee’s ‘Padatik’. A movie about Girish Ghosh is about to be made too and it will be great to have these actors returning to reprise their roles there.
The movie has potential and the execution looks pretty good. But it has to be promoted well for the Hindi-speaking audience too so that it can make a mark at the box office.
