Shesh Sanghat (2009) Bengali Movie Review-Ratings-Casts-Preview-Stills

Shesh Sanghat marks the entry of Jayaprada into Bangla cinema after some years. She looks beautiful in the lead. The film, shot with Dolby sound and projected on cinemascope, is rich on production values within the framework of Bengali mainstream cinema. Ashoke Viswanathan, who honed his skills at the FTII, Pune and followed this up with National Awards for his first two films, Sunya Theke Suru (Return to Zero) and Kicchu Sanlaap Kicchu Prolaap (Dialogue and Delirium), takes a step ahead to negotiate his terms with commercial cinema.
The 150-minute film based on a story by Daseri Narayan Rao is relocated in Gangitkuli, an adivasi village the Bengal – Jharkhand border. The village is in the dictatorial grip of the local sarpanch, Ramanuj Pratap Singh (Ashish Vidyarthy) whose ancestors have appropriated the entire land that originally belonged to the adivasis of the area. A militant group that lives and trains in the forests nearby claim their land on the basis of the amendment in law in their favour. But Ramanuj, with the help of the local police, remains firm. He refuses to budge. He becomes an MP and moves to Delhi. This is the parallel storyline that runs alongside the main story and then merges to become one.

Raji (Sudipa Banerjee), a pretty young adivasi girl, is forced to work in Ramanuj’s home. Ramanuj rapes her. But he throws her out the minute he learns she is pregnant. When they come to him for help, he sends his goons to kill them all. Raji’s infant son is lost somewhere, her parents are killed in cold blood and Raji is rescued by an adivasi couple. She grows up to be a beautiful woman (Jayaprada) haunted by memories of the injustice done to her by Ramanuj and his men. Ramanuj’s son by a widowed mistress spots her, falls in love and proposes marriage. An unwilling Raji marries him but tells him that she was raped once by his father and also has a son by him. The shocked Chhote Sarkar (Abhishek Chatterjee) tries to shoot her down but is shot and killed in the scuffle. Ramanuj returns to kill Raji who he believes has killed his son. But the militant group rescues her and takes her in their fold where she also finds her lost son, now a little boy, brought up by the militants who found him in the forest. Raji helps them get back their land but she loses her little son in the process.
