Nayak | Rotten Tomatoes

Audience Member Full review on my blog max4movies: Nayak (international title "Nayak: The Hero") is an Indian Bengali-language drama about a famous actor traveling to Delhi to receive an important award. At the height of his career, he is confronted with his past as a struggling theater actor, when an educated young woman interviews him. The movie is a thoughtful drama, that pays great attention to its characters, who behave in an authentic and believable way. Without becoming pretentious, the movie addresses several important social issues – while not shying away from also criticizing how the movie industry often only produces cheap entertainment. In addition to the mostly efficient writing and the strong and down to Earth performances, the cinematography is marvelous and makes for some memorable scenes.

Did Sharmila Tagore kill it a leetle bit? maaybe. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Clearly one of the big inspirations for "The Darjeeling Limited", Satyajit Ray's train movie "Nayak" takes place on a train from Bengal to Delhi 90% of the time. It's well shot, well acted, and I'd say it is Ray's own "8 1/2". Loved it. A popular Bengali film actor is on his way to Delhi by train to go to an awards show to claim his prize. But just a few days before, he was accused of getting into a brawl, which he is afraid now might damage his career. On the train, he meets fans of his films, haters of cinema, children, and a journalist who is not interested in Indian cinema. During his train ride, it all becomes an introspection of his life, how he came to become an actor, the pressures around him, and the nightmares of fame and destruction. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
