The story of Faltu is set around a district in West Bengal in the early 1950s. Faltu is the story of a 20-year-old orphan called Faltu(Yash Pandit).It is about his search for the man who fathered him.Besides the life of Faltu,the movie revolves around a village and its people with a lot of dramatic events. Faltu is a movie that deals with the lives of the villagers and how everything turns out when a census official questions Faltu's parentage. It was very well known about Faltu's mother(Indrani Halder) but there was no information about who his father was.Faltu was never bothered about his identity until this official's question. The entire story of the film deals with human relations and how the guilt of having done something wrong haunts everyone in the village. They want to make up for their sins, but end up opening a new can of worms and spoiling a marriage. Directed by Anjan Das,the writer of the story was Syed Mustafa Siraj.Yash Pandit and Manjari Fadnis who are in the lead have done a very good job in their role. The movie is really different and should be seen by people who are an ardent fan of Bengali movies.

A world to which at times we are deliberately oblivious to, exists and we don't see it. Faltu is a picturesque depiction of one such gory tale. Without doubt, its a hard hitting moview. Faltu scores on all three fronts- the story, direction and acting.

Based on celebrated Bengali author Syed Mustafa Siraj's novel – Ranirghater Brittanto – Faltu is the latest from Planman. This is Chaudhuri's Planman Motion Pictures' second foray into Bengali movies, after the success of their earlier Bengali film Sanjhbatir Roopkathara won accolades all over the world. Faltu looks all set to repeat history.

Set in the backdrop of Mushirdabad district in West Bengal in the early 1950s, this is the story of a 20-year-old boy called Faltu and his quest for love and search for roots. This is also the story of a village and its people, woven around a narrative with myriad moments and a lot of dramatic events.

Ranirghat is a not-so-developed village people mainly by refugees from Bangladesh. The lives of the villagers take a new turn when a census official questions Faltu's parentage. While it is a well-known fact that Faltu is the son of Suri Khepi (a mad woman played to perfection by Indrani Haldar), no one knows who his father is. Neither does Faltu know, nor did he care to all this while. He was happy with what he was doing – driving a bus and ferrying villagers from one bank of the river to the other.

The census official's question opens a Pandora's box. It turns out that almost everyone in the village -- including Ismail (Biplab Chatterjee), who brought up Faltu and taught him driving -- took their turns to rape Suri Khepi, taking advantage of her mental condition.

Things reach a stage where everybody knows that Faltu's father is one of them, but nobody is sure of who that is. Faltu is not particularly bothered though. He is more interested in earning his living, and pursuing his love interest – Tuktuki (played by Manjari Fadnis).

A government order brings in bad news for the villagers of Ranirghat. As part of development plans, the government wants to construct a bridge across the river and wants the villagers to vacate the village. They agree to do so, but before parting ways, they want Faltu and Tuktuki to get married – to make up for what they had done to Suri Khepi. A guilty feeling of raping Surikhepi haunts almost every single male in the village. That is when a twist in the tale ensures Faltu and Tuktuki don't get married.

The entire story deals with human relations and how the guilt of having done something wrong haunts everyone in the village. They want to make up for their sins, but end up opening a new can of worms and spoiling a marriage.

The storyline is not just fascinating but leaves you with a long list of questions on human relations and desires. And Anjan Das does a fantastic job of narrating the story in his simple and relaxed fashion.

A fantastic film by Anjan Das that could not have been better.The film is about a young boy named Faltu and some of the villagers where he lived.Faltu lived in a village of West Bengal along with his mother where many of the villagers had the record of doing something wrong.So the film deals with the guilt all of them had.Its a village where every day a new problem arises.

With 'Faltu', Anjan Das has tackled the most difficult text in trying to translate it into cinema. Based on Syed Mustafa Siraj's 'Ranir Ghatter Brittanto', the film traced the lives of some uprooted people, a mad woman and her off spring-Faltu who has the quest for his identity. Anjan Das, a high class director has presented a number of unusual and challenging films till date. His earlier film based on literature were 'Sanjbatir Roopkatha' was also an out of the box venture which was highly acclaimed by the viewers.Planman Motion Pictures have always proved to have excelled in their venture. They do have a lot to offer the movie lovers in the days to come.

Faltu is a Bengali hit directed by Anjan Das.It is one the biggest hits from Arindam Chaudhuri's Planman Motion Pctures.My friends who visited other parts of India got a DVD of this movie and gave it to me. The story of the film is set around a district in West Bengal in the early 1950s.Faltu is the story of a 20-year-old orphan called Faltu,played by Prosenjit Chatterjee and his search for his father. This is also the account of a village and its people, woven around a narrative with myriad moments and a lot of dramatic events. Ranirghat is a small village made up by the refugees from the then East Pakistan.The lives of the villagers take a new turn when a census official questions Faltu's parentage. While it is a well-known fact that Faltu is the son of Sureswari Dasi aka Suri Khepi(played Indrani Haldar), no one knows who his father is. Neither does Faltu nor he was even bothered about it. He was happy and content with whatever he had or was doing till now.

The entire story deals with human relations and how the guilt of having done something wrong haunts everyone in the village. They want to make up for their sins, but end up opening a new can of worms and spoiling a marriage. Soumitra Chatterjee, Indrani Halder, Yash Pandit, Manjari Fadnis, Nirmal Kumar, Masood Akhtar and Biplab Chatterjee are among the cast in the film and all have produced superb performance.

The film Faltu has a thin storyline.The eponymous character is a young man searching for his identity. He was born to a mentally challenged woman who had taken refuge at Ranirghat on a stormy night. The truth about the impregnation of the unstable woman unfolds in flashbacks and reveals the dormant and repressed sexual urges of the otherwise decent village folk who had been living like an extended family. The protagonist had lost his mother in his infancy and has known all the village elders as his wellwishers. They had collectively nurtured him as their own. But now as he starts questioning his own identity and is desperate to learn who his real father is, things that lay buried in the past are raked to people's discomfort and the upheaval shakes him from his roots. Things, however, come a full circle with the entire lot of villagers having to abandon their dwellings as the government declares it a necessity for the infrastructural upliftment! It is up to Faltu, now a battered soul, to decide in which way should he travel and to seek comfort from whom or what..

Faltu was produced by Planman Motion Pictures way back in 2005 and directed by Anjan Das.The production house is very well known for all the unique movies that it comes out. Faltu is another interesting movie that I got to watch on my recent visit to Bengal and I really liked the movie.

Starring Soumitra Chatterjee,Yash Pandit,Manjari Fadnis;Faltu is a picturesque depiction of a tale. The movie,without any doubt is a hard hitting movie that scores on all three fronts- the story, direction and acting. It is based on celebrated Bengali author Syed Mustafa Siraj's novel and is the 3rd Bengali movie by the Planman Motion Pictures.

This is the story of a village and its people, woven around a narrative with myriad moments and a lot of dramatic events. The storyline is too fascinating and leaves the audience with a long list of questions on human relations and desires. Anjan Das did a great job in narrating the story in his own simple way and surely leaves with a lot to think upon!
