One only hopes that this will be the first of many such grand dreams to see the light of day. The magnitude of this venture has been the talk of the town in the Bengali film industry for some time now. Dev brings to life Shankar perfectly with his spirited interpreation well complemented by his physicality. Description Chander Pahar English: About Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay 12 September 1 November was an Indian Pzhar author and one of the leading writers of modern Bengali literature. Dev, in a move of brilliant casting, fits the character to a tee and turns in a splendid performance, coming into his own in the final half hour to hold the film together on his lone broad shoulders. Having said that, Chander Pahar remains, notwithstanding its flaws, a superb film with some memorable moments. The climax, despite the heroics of the protagonist and a vastly improved Dev, fails to end the film on the proverbial high. The novel follows the adventures of a young Bengali man in the forests of Africa.
And this is where Chander Pahar falters – as it fails to better the experience of the first half. Chander Pahar by Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay Chander Pahar (Bengali:, English: Mountain of the Moon) is a Bengali adventure novel written by Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay2 and published in 1937. When the action does resume, it is the vigour which is found wanting. As the intermission draws with the promise of a riveting mission, one hopes for the action to resume with renewed vigour. The first half is taut with action, with Shankar’s story bursting forth and running into one dangerous encounter after another. It is indeed sad, because having not held back financially and after boasting of some breath-taking scenes involving elephants, lion and dangerous snakes, it is a pity that a few minutes of special effects which are not up to the mark are what will prevent Chander Pahar from being counted as world-class. More importantly, on a tougher scale of contemporary world cinema, it does still hold its own, though a few sequences of shoddy special effects ruin the overall experience. In the perspective of Bengali or even Indian cinema, Chander Pahar will score remarkably high on the cinematography and the sequences involving animals. Kamaleshwar Mukherjee and his team do a commendable job of breathing life into the adventures of Shankar.
