Shontaan
Shontaan is a 2024 Indian Bengali legal drama film co-written and directed by Raj Chakraborty. Produced by Shrikant Mohta and Mahendra Soni under the banner of Shree Venkatesh Films, the film stars Mithun Chakraborty, Ritwick Chakraborty and Anashua Majumdar, Kharaj Mukherjee and Subhashree Ganguly in lead roles, while Sohini Sengupta, Biswajit Chakraborty, Ahona Dutta play other pivotal roles.
Jeet Ganguli composed the music of the film. Manas Ganguly is the director of photography and MD. Kalam is the editor. It released in the theatres on 20 December 2024 on the eve of Christmas to positive reviews from the audience and critics alike. Grossing over ₹5 crore, it ran in the theaters for over 100 days and emerged as a superhit at the box office.
The film depicts the tussles and difficulties in the troubled relationship between a son and his aged, ailing parents. Saradindu is an old man, battered down and tired from the daily struggles of life. He lives with his wife Mala who suffers from severe arthritis. Their son Indranil is a self-centric and selfish man who doesn't care about his parents. He works in a multinational company. With a high income, he lives a life of luxury with his wife Ria, and his son Pablo, away from his parents. He travels in a Mercedes, parties frequently with his colleagues, goes on international holidays, but is reluctant to provide time for his parents or to pay for his ailing mother's knee surgery when her health deteriorates.
When Saradindu goes to Indranil to ask for money for Mala's surgery, he humiliates his father and denies to give any financial assistance. He declares that he has many other important expenses and can't give money for his mother's surgery. In profound agony and rage, Saradindu files a case against his son in court, on the grounds of ill treatment and neglect of old parents. Indrani fights for Saradindu against Indranil's lawyer, Bikash Munsi.
But things take a turn when Mala, torn between her moralities and her responsibilities as a mother and a wife, chooses to prioritize her motherhood over her principles. She asks her husband to withdraw the case against her son despite all their suffering because she can't see her son getting hurt. But Saradindu insists on sticking by his decision in order to teach a lesson to his son for taking his parents for granted. The story further illustrates the emotional drama between Indranil and his old, helpless parents, which unfolds inside and outside the courtroom. Tragedy intensifies when the turmoil takes a toll on Mala's health and she passes away. Although late, Indranil realises his mistakes at the end and Saradindu forgives him because he had promised so to his late wife.
The first look poster was revealed on 31 October 2024, on the occasion of Kali Puja. The trailer was unveiled on 1 November 2024.
As a part of the promotions, the makers visited some old age homes to speak to them about their relationship with their children and how they ended up there. The premiere was on 17 December 2024.
The music of the film has been composed by Jeet Ganguli. The lyrics have been penned by Priyo Chattopadhyay and Anindya Chatterjee.
