Apna Mithunda

Yesterday, along with the hyped I Hate Luv Storys, another movie released which surprisingly got more coverage than expected. I say "surprisingly" because it is a Bengali movie, and usually non-hindi movies that release do not get much coverage.
This one's called "Shukno Lanka" or "Dry red chillies". Till now, I have only heard/read good things about it, including good performances.....

Take a look here:

TOI says "For those who still remember Mithun Chakraborty's sterling act in Buddhadeb Dasgupta's Tahader Katha, here's another chance to discover the true colours of the thespian actor who has the ability to grab eyeballs with something more than his disco dancing abilities."

The trailer does not say much...but with the praise as above...I would like to go watch it (let's see if I can make it).

  3. yep... 3 national awards.. including one for probably his first movie "Mrigaya"... He has actually always had the reputation of being a very good actor, just not in Bollywood movies, where probably no one had that reputation during the 80s.. in the mainstream Bollywood, anyway... the "good acting" thing was part of the "parallel cinema" movement rather than mainstream...
