Outstretched excessively on the second half with unnecessary drama. Mithun Chakraborty's usual charm started off the film well but then in b/w it lost on its main plot & diverted to something else. Dev's Tonic is better any day compared to this, but the fact to see Mithun again in a Movie Medium, it was something else. Shouldve kept it short following the main storyline in a father's attempt to get his son married off. The intentional attempts to influence upon a emotional scene, it really felt not need, could've been done away with. The overdoing of all this has ruined it but quite happy to see Mithun & Dev's movie get their due success. I'm really aainst TMC's policy of discrimination against other opposition actor/actresses.

Dev and Mithun Da share an incredible on-screen rapport
SoumikBanerjee199617 April 2023
Narratives about mothers and their undying affection for their children have always been commemorated and recognised not only by culturual explorations, but also through our artistic expressions, through the medium of cinema, plays, poems or literatures, but we seldom see the sacred relationship between a father and his son or daughter being portrayed in an identical manner.
So far, only a few stories have attempted to delineate what fatherhood genuinely means and why it must become an integral part of our everyday conversations. Projapati as a film is yet another attempt to reinvigorate the same discourse.
It is uplifting, engaging, and, above all, full of familial warmth and love that will be relevant to a vast percentage of the viewers (particularly Bengalis). Yes, It's not perfect, it does have some issues that cannot and should not be overlooked, but if you go in with a limited set of expectations and an open mind, you will have a good time, I assure.
P. S. The chemistry between Dev and Mithun was so natural; they looked & acted like a real life father-son pair; there's no superficiality in their on-screen rapport, and that certainly to some degree at least, played a part in making the equation more lively and likeable.

Really if you are a family person you have to watch it. Without any hit song ,dance melo drama a pure content which touch your heart. You can watch it with your family and lot's of learning from it. Deb da ,Mithun daa awesome to play character. Some comedy in addition with it make it perfect. Mamata sankar also outstanding in character. But ending need to little bit more addition with marriage of deb. All comedy character played their role very good in first half .2 nd half also story of every old mother father at home . Everyone crying at hall me too after long time without any short dress without and boogey boogey dance people attrect with good story. Bengali industry should proud for Deb daa and mithun daa.
Watch it for Mithun's acting excellence.

A beautiful movie. Little bit overdramatic at the end. The storyline is good. The best thing about the movie is Mithun Chakraborty's acting. It is proved again that if you give him a good script, he will create such a magic on screen that no one ever could. We can name a few of his gems like - Mrigaya, Tahader katha, Titli, Kalpurush, Swami Vivekananda, Shukno Lanka, The Tashkent files, Ekti Nadir golpo, or this one, Projapati. In Projapati, each time he appears in the screen, he just steals the show. His eyes, gestures, dialogue delivery, everything is just brilliant and could be a lesson to all wanna be actors. Mamata Shankar is graceful and good. Her on-screen pairing with Mithun is just perfect. I wonder why other directors didn't cast them after Mrigaya. Dev is consistent throughout the movie. Kharaj and Ambarish are great actors and they have proved it again here. Kaninika is superb in a small role. Sweta is really good and has potential but in this movie, she doesn't have much scope. Biswanath is fine in a small role.
Direction is very good just like his previous film Tonic. Music of the film is very soothing. Cinematography is good and fresh.
Over all, you should watch the film atleast once to witness the maestro of Mithun Chakraborty's acting.

A Breath of Fresh Air - Thanks to Mithun's performance

As a general viewer, what do you want to see in a good film ? Good acting? Good story? Good songs? Everything is there in Projapati.
Director Avijit Sen has done a good job again after Tonic. The songs of the movie are melodious and perfectly placed. The story of the movie is very nice. It's a family drama, where father - son bonding is the main highlight. And there is a sweet love story between two elderly persons. I congratulate the producers. They strike the right chord.
Acting wise, it is a through and through Mithun Chakraborty movie. What an actor he is ?! By looking at him, you will get the feeling he is hypnotizing the audience. His performance is superlative as a lonely father.
Another commendable performance is done by Mamata Shankar. She plays her part with an ease.
Dev is good as the son but in some scenes, he should be better. Kharaj and Ambarish should get special mention as they both have done a marvelous job. Sweta, Kaninika, Biswanath are good at their parts.
At the end, I must say, You can see the film more than once for one man's performance -Mithun Chakraborty.

A Must-See Beautiful Film ...
Mahaakshay4 January 2023
This is truly a beautiful film. A must-watch 'cause it is about the love between a father and his son and also about love and romance. The film has a perfect balance between all of our human emotions. If the 1st half makes you laugh, then the 2nd half makes you cry. There are beautiful moments in the 1st half itself which make you cry and touch the right chord.
I genuinely loved the film.
Out of the 3 songs in the film, the 1st song is pure melody and yet again hits you in the heart 'cause it is about a son telling his dad that his father is truly his hero. I think we all can mostly relate to that.
Performance wise it is the Living Legend Mithun Chakraborty who is the Star of the film! He carries the entire film on his shoulders and the more you are in awe of him as an actor in this film, the more it is less. He is truly brilliant in every frame. Whether it is comedy or heart-break, the maestro of talent proves yet again why he is one of the finest actors in the world!
After Mithun Chakraborty, it is Kharaj Mukherjee who is just excellent in the film. His comic timing is out-standing and he makes you laugh your guts out whenever he comes on screen.
Even Dev was very good in the film and his chemistry with Mithun Chakraborty is wonderful and their bond of father and son intensifies the relationship.
All in all, everyone in the film is good because the story is so sweet and touching.
My special shout-out to the director of the film, Avijit Sen for showing us such a beautiful story.
This is truly a lovely, feel-good family entertainer which shouldn't be missed.

I always prefer watching films which make me laugh out loud at the jokes, bring water to my eyes in the deep emotional scenes and smile in satisfaction. The chemistry of dev and mithun has taken the film to a different level. It didn't feel like they were acting, everything looked so real. The father-son duo has matched perfectly in the movie...Go and watch it with your family in your nearest cinema hall, you'll surely love it . It's a family movie which can be watched by people of any age group be it kids,teenagers,adults ,aged. It has already been a super blockbuster movie which is breaking all the records of bengali cinema.. loved the movie a lot.
The Mithun Chakraborty Show
kunalsarkar-354019 January 2023
Projapati is a film of relationship. Relationship between father and son, relationship between old friends. The screenplay in the first half is gripping. Mithun Chakraborty tried his level best to arrange marriage for his only son Dev, who is a wedding planner. But on the course of arranging marriage of his son, Mithun found his old friend Mamata Shankar. Now the dimension of story is changed. Unfortunately second half is dipping due to too much characters bur unfortunately most of them are underdeveloped. Performance wise Kharaj Mukherjee, Ambarish, Mamata Shankar, Dev justified with their roles. New comer Sweata did good job. But Mithun Chakraborty ultimately steals the show. He is fabulous in both comedy and tragedy. His pairing with Mamata Shankar after 46 years of Mrinal Sen's classic Mrigaya made you Nostalgic. Music is good. Portraying of Benaras in the film is praiseworthy. It is definitely one time watchable particularly for Mithun, who again proved that age doesn't matter for a natural actor.
Best film ever!!

Life Connect Script

I am very fond of Bengali Movie not due to VERNACULAR but because of script which connects LIFE.
#Projapati best portrayal by Sri Dev Adhikari who is a celebrated face of commercial / formula movie in Tollywood but JOY CHAKRABORTY exposed an actor OUT OF BOX who earned from BOX OFFICE.
Mithun Daa flawlessly fit as Gour Chakraborty.
In my view this movie will acclaim many National & International recognitions.
I wish producer must dubb the movie in HINDI to reach a mass review.
White Blue vs Saffron not so loud to deny showcase at NANDAN while KIFF a platform for art & craft.

Let's Enjoy this festive season with 'Projapati'
karmakar_souvikimdb11 January 2023
'Projapati', a new creation to cheer up, in search for a friend after 'Tonic' and 'Kishmish'. In the presentation of Atanu Ray Choudhury Sir & production of Dev da, with the direction of Avijit Sen Sir, this film depicts the joy & sorrow, pride & egotism of a father-son relationship. In the warm presence of incomparable beauty of Banaras along with each and every song of the film, it gets a different dimension to every moment of the film. There is no feeling of a little bit of boredom in a single part of this film. The presence of Kharaj Sir and Ambarish Sir fills the film with a lot of hilarious moments. In the last 30 minutes, I really got emotional with the dialogues of Dev da for his father and the most amazing song ' Bhenge dekho amay, Jure dekho amay, Tumi amari amari royecho' sung by Nachiketa Sir.
The perfect and eminent climax of this film teaches us how to love our father, share our feelings with him and equally try to fulfill their wishes. At the end of the day, we can also be a friend of our father and pay respect to their tireless care, with a yell, 'Baba tomake joriye dhorte boddo icche kore, Asole Tumi Amar Hero'.
So why are you waiting for? Let's celebrate this festive season of Christmas and New Year with 'Projapati' for an awesome and amazing jugalbandi of Dev da and Mithun Da, and the entire team of Projapati.
Thank You Dev Da for this amazing 'Projapati', wish you the grand success of Projapati. Eagerly waiting for the next upcoming projects from Dev Entertainment Ventures in 2023.
