Chaka (2000) watch online

Chaka (lit. 'Wheel') is a 2000 Indian Bengali drama film written and directed by Nepaldev Bhattacharjee. The screenplay was written by Prashanta Bhattacharjee. The film revolves around the life of two 1971 immigrants. It delineates the struggle of a marginalized jobless labourer and his wife, and the adversities they undergo. The plot is invariably imbued with communist postulations. The music of the film was composed by Kalyan Sen Barat, with lyrics penned by Pulak Banerjee and Nachiketa. The chief assistant director of the film is Madhuchhanda Sengupta. It stars Mithun Chakraborty and Debashree Roy in the lead.

The film created ripples upon its release and received moderate reviews from critics. It received 7.3 rating out of 10 on Mubi. Chakraborty's portrayal of Manik Mondal was well received by the critics once again generating the speculation that he well perceives the marginalized impulse. The film won Chakraborty his first Anandalok Award in the category of the best actor in a leading role, in 2001. It was not a financial success.
