The film gives an appearance of a low-budget biopic regarding the Hindu monk as well as thinker. To bring into prominence there have not been many films on the great Swami Vivekananda, a Hindu monk and thinker from West Bengal who elevated India’s spirituality on the international forum.
Going back in history, there was one film way back in 1955 and then Swami Vivekananda in 1994, a film where Mithun Chakraborty delivered a National Award-winning performance in the role of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, happens to be the Swami’s guru. Premankur Chattopadhyay, the actor playing Shri Paramahamsa in the current film The Light: Swami Vivekananda, is apparently suitable to be compared to Mithun da.
The new film releasing on August 23, happens to be a bilingual in Hindi and Bengali directed by Utpal Sinha. It stars actor Deep Bhattacharya in the title role who appeared convincing in the role. Yet the film’s trailer seems sticky to the touch, accompanying a feeling that many of the important scenes have been shot on a Chroma key background. Accompanied by low production values, its spiritual content is the only thing that will save it at the box office. There would be a hope that the film does justice to the Swami’s life. In fact, there was a special screening of The Light: Swami Vivekananda for Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi at the same time he was known to have uphold the film.
