Kabuliwala, an adaptation of short story of Rabindranath Tagore which depicts an emotional bonding between a five years old Bengali child with an Afghan Kabuliwala. Mithun Chakraborty has played the role of an Afghan Kabuliwala, Rahamat. Mithun in one word eats the role. His depiction as Rahamat is extraordinary. He has shuttered the performances of great Chabi Biswas and Balraj Sahani who times to time portrayed the same role. Last ten minutes is brillant when Mini on the date of her marriage can not recognise her very own Kabuliwala whom she maintains an eternal bonding of loves in her child hood. Last ten minutes are so much impactful, you can remember it for immortal times. Direction and music are good. Other co actors justify their roles. But again 74 years old Mithun proves , he can justify any types of role. Really Mahaguru can only justify creation of Kabiguru.
A truly fantastic movie - does great justice to the masterpiece written by Rabindranath Tagore - a timeless classic. Mithun is superb in his role - as expected from an actor of his calibre but is well supported by the entire cast at every step.
In an age of mindless and nonsensical cinema across the country, this was a very welcome relief. A general appeal to the public, please support more such cinema to stop the current degradation in the general quality of movie-making in our country.
Kudos to the effort put in by the team to recreate this classic and doing it so well - deserves appreciation and praise.

My grandmother used to feed me by telling the story "Kabuliwala" when I was around 3 or 4 years old. I had that imagination in my mind since then. Now I just visualized my old imaginations through this movie. The way Suman Ghosh directed this short story is totally tremendous, and he cast the perfect people for each role. Mithun Chakraborty-what a versatile actor. And Anumegha, at such a young age, gave such an admirable preformance.
Thank you to everyone for creating such a beautiful tribute to Rabindranath Tagore by bringing this timeless story to the screen.
Watch it to experience soulful storytelling and feel nostalgic.

One line can explain everything.
If Mithun Chakraborty doesn't get a national award for Kabuliwala, it will be injustice.
Almost every bengali knows the short story named "Kabuliwala" by Rabindranath Tagore. It is about a beautiful bond between a little girl "Mini" and an Afghan vendor Rahmat. Rahmat loved Mini as her own daughter who lived far away in Afghanistan.
Sumon Ghosh is a seasoned director. He did a marvelous job here.
Anumegha acts beautifully as Mini. Abir surprises us as Mini's father. He has done a very commandable job. Sohini is excellent as Mini's mother.
And now, the man who has won our heart with his superlative acting performance as always - the great Mithun Chakraborty as Kabuliwala.
What an actor he is !!
Man, he has given an unbelievable performance as Rahmat, the Kabuliwala. The last ten minutes of the film, your heart will wrench for the man, thanks to the magical acting of Mithun.
He truly deserves another national award for this performance.
The cinematography is very good. The songs are appreciable.
Overall , it's a must MUST watch for every movie lover.

My Review of #Kabuliwala ::: Director #SumanGhosh has brilliantly made this #RabindranathTagore written short story.
#MithunChakraborty & #AnumeghaKahali has acted brilliantly. #AbirChatterjee, #SohiniSarkar, #KanchanMullick, #SumitSamandar & #GulshanaraKhatun has performed well. #SubhankarBhar has cinematographed well. #SujayDattaRay has edited crisply. #IndradeepDasgupta has musically knit the film well. #SVF & #JioStudios had made this joint venture successfully. During the first half of the Film, you will be relocated to any Kurdish environment with the beautiful camerawork of the cinematographer.
