However a few closely knit moments created between the humans in the film could have raised it by many. Shankar is the last to come out of this thrilling tale alive as even he at last cannot save Alvarez from the perils of the Mountain of the Moon. Chander Pahar is a must watch and it depicts that gradual transformation of an adventurous dreamer in to a survivor. The uninhabited station and its nature affectionate station master Shankar projected with the various shades of the African sky, the roaring African lions whom Shankar comes across, a black mamba slipping into Shankar’s room and Shankar’s successful attempt to jump over a deep abyss to rescue Alvarez from a pack of hyenas and cheetahs are some of the poignant yet unforgettable moments that linger in the mind. Through Chander Pahar, Shree Venkatesh Films has something different to offer passionately which stands out for its finesse. Chander Pahar has been packaged and sold as a product and more over against the views that it will be practically impossible to gain back its costs. That a 15 crores film like Chander Pahar be at all produced in Tollywood is in itself unthinkable.

Chander Pahar is a movie that will make Bengali audiences proud as it has dared to take the industry into a new period. The kids will love it for Dev and the animals.
Dev is ideally suited for his role in the Mountain of the Moon where he finds a Portuguese man Diego Alvarez played by Gerard Rudolf to look for the diamond mines that a guarded by a mythical monster even feared by the natives of Africa. The Masai figure in the film and so does the mamba which is the most venomous snake found in Africa.

The series of encounters where Shankar is chased by the African jumbos and ferocious lions are totally enthralling. Shankar leaves his remote Bengali village to take up a job as that of a stationmaster with the Uganda railway. With a running time of almost two and a half hours the audience is held spell bound as the African setting both amazes and brings them on the edge of their seats many a times. Directed by Kamaleshwar Mukherjee the film is a perfect getaway for every Bengali family who have grown up reading this pictorial novel. The winter release of this film brings back into contention the lions, tigers, a whole lot of wild animals some of which were once part of the circus in addition to the perilous snakes and mythical monster which are an integral part of the story. He said there are two kinds of power: one is obtained by fear of punishment and the other by acts of love ��� which is a thousand times more powerful and permanent than the power derived from fear,��� said Gerard, who had actively campaigned to end forced military conscription by the apartheid regime.The Bengali movie Chander Pahar is based on the daring novel by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay that projects Dev Adhikari, the actor playing Shankar, one of its main protagonists on a hazardous voyage. One of my favourite teachings of his is what he said about power. Yes, I���ve read about Gandhi���s life here in South Africa. But South Africa is a beautiful country, a nation of many heroes.
���I was there the day Nelson Mandela was released from prison and was in the crowd when he delivered his first public speech from the balcony of the Cape Town City Hall. Back home in South Africa, Gerard has seen the dark days of apartheid and the collapse of the regime. He���s taught me quite a few cusswords in Bengali, but I don���t want to repeat them here!��� the actor said. He might be a big star but he is very humble. As for Dev, we laughed and joked a lot on the sets. ���Kamaleswar is a fantastic director to work with ��� a man of great knowledge and integrity. Though his idea of Indian films is sketchy, he had a great time working with theĬhander Pahar team. I thank my lucky stars that I was chosen for Alvarez,��� he says, revealing that he ordered the novel immediately after this as it was an essential part of his preparation. While Gerard thinks Alvarez is the ���most challenging and beautiful character I have ever played���, he might not have got the role in the first place! ���I was a bit pushy, ask the director! I auditioned for Alvarez���s role but was then asked to audition for a smaller part. I feel blessed to get the opportunity to portray such an iconic character in Bengali literature.��� It was worth it because it will be a beautiful film that India can be proud of. ���We shot at some wonderful locations and the crew was extremely hard-working. ���A film can be war andĬhander Pahar is an epic battle,��� said the actor from Johannesburg. The role ��� and the experience of being part of a Bengali film ��� is something that the South African actor is enjoying to the fullest.
