There is something to be said about Bengali cinema's ongoing fascination with Satyajit Ray and yes, you can add Uttam Kumar to that. At one point in this able fable, the film's scholar-hero Subarn Sen (played by the always watchable Abir Chatterjee) says cheekily, "Before and after Partition Bengal was obsessed with 'UK' -- the United Kingdom and then Uttam Kumar.
There is a dash of Uttam in Abir, a fine actor who creates a graph for his character even the script is not of much help. Here, Abir yokes a sense of childlike fun with a somber and not always consistent meditation on the loss of cultural heritage in Bengal brought on by the designs of plunderers and marauders.
Often the screenplay (Dhrubo Banerjee and Subhendu Dasmunshi) seems weighed down by the sprawling onus of conveying a sequence of historical events that underline the fun aspect of the treasure hunt.
