Bengali 4 Movie

Autograph is a 2010 Bengali film directed by debutant director Srijit Mukherji.
The movie is a humble tribute to both Satyajit Ray and to Uttam Kumar as it is on the lines of movie Nayak. In fact so much so the central character of the film is called Arun Chatterjee (Uttam Kumar’s real name). Such is the influence and inspiration behind making the film. Srijit’s touches make this a different film and also the story is a significantly different from Nayak.The film makes few references to great film makers like Ingmar Bergman or films like Wild Strawberries.It also alludes to the music of R.D. Barman and The Godfather.We also get to see pictures of the Bengali film maestro Ritwik Ghatak or Chhabi Biswas in his most memorable role in Jalshaghar on the wall of the studio.

The film starts with a proposal of remaking Satyajit Ray's famous film Nayak by a debutant director and storywriter Shuvobrata (Indraneil Sengupta) to famous actor of Bengali cine world Arun Chatterjee (Prasenjit). Arun approves Shuvobrata's proposal and also agrees to finance the project. Shuvobrata requests his live-in girlfriend Srinandita or Shrin (Nandana Sen) to play opposite Arun. In the mean time, Arun and Shrin become close friends, and Arun tells her about some of his past in an emotionally triggered condition, the whole episode getting videotaped accidentally. Shuvobrata leaks the video to the press, without the consent of Srinandita, as a publicity stunt for promoting his new film. Srinandita leaves Shuvobrata on hearing this. Arun, furious about the leakage, stops the release of the film. Arun later learns that Shrin had no role in the leakage and asks for pardon. The movie ends in a scene in which Shrin leaves a note and a number for Arun at a roadside dhaba where they met earlier.

Review website CalcuttaTube.com stated it as "A must watch film that would touch your heart and soul." It also said that the movie "offers insightful bytes into filmmaking/film-acting as choreographed on film, through carefully choreographed mise-en-scene, through imaginatively lit production design where the entire backdrop, plus the music and the sound motifs form a part of the cast and, through metaphorical music, matter-of-fact, no-nonsense dialogue with elaborately designed pauses and eloquent silences.
