The 3-minute trailer opens with the iconic Uttam Kumar asking Gourab Chatterjee, "How have you been?" Chatterjee, taken aback, finds it hard to believe that he is face-to-face with his idol. Reacting to Chatterjee's astonishment, Uttam Kumar humorously refers to himself as a ghost.
The narrative centers around Krishnendu (Anindya Sengupta), who harbors two profound passions in life. Firstly, his deep admiration for the legendary Uttam Kumar drives him to pursue a PhD on the sociological impact of Uttam Kumar's smile.
When Krishnendu's father (Subhasish Mukherjee) questions his dedication to his studies, Krishnendu's unwavering response underscores his reverence for his Guru. Krishnendu's mother (Laboni Sarkar) chides him for his single-minded obsession with one man.
Krishnendu's second passion lies in his affection for a girl named Sohini (Roshni Bhattacharyya), who initially rejects his advances, citing disparities in their social standing. Just as Krishnendu begins to lose hope in love, Uttam Kumar encourages him not to give up. A sudden altercation changes Sohini's perception of Krishnendu, leading to a shift in their relationship dynamics.
As Krishnendu explores the truth behind Uttam Kumar's appearances, the legendary actor cryptically advises him to keep certain stories hidden, emphasizing the realm of light and shadow they inhabit. When Krishnendu introduces Sohini to Uttam Kumar, her feelings towards Krishnendu transform. Will Krishnendu succeed in winning Sohini's affection?
Anindya Sengupta captivates with his compelling performance in the trailer of Oti Uttam, showcasing impeccable dialogue delivery and emotive expressions. The music composition by Saptak Sanai Das and the background score by Prabuddha Banerjee adds depth to the cinematic experience.
The trailer editing has not been up to the mark revealing a lot of details about the plot in it. The VFX work does not look impressive. The only reason audiences can shower their love for this film is Mahanayak Uttam Kumar.
Director Srijit Mukherji reflects on the arduous six-year journey of bringing Oti Uttam to fruition amidst a global pandemic and the advent of Artificial Intelligence. Soumik Haldar (ISC) handles the cinematography, while Pronoy Dasgupta oversees the editing process, ensuring the film's meticulous execution.
Oti Uttam marks the second collaboration between Srijit Mukherji and Anindya Sengupta after X=Prem. Anindya Sengupta delivered a notable performance in Preme Pora Baron. The film's release date was officially confirmed on February 20th, 2024, with a prevue was released on July 24th, 2023.
