Jyeshthoputro, on the surface, is about grief and jealousy. But its moments of heartbreak and quiet gestures of sorrow are almost always accompanied by a sharply judged laugh or a killer put-down.
The film is about Indrajit, a popular Tollywood star, heads back to his native town after his father's sudden demise. Upon his arrival, hidden complexities within the family start spurting.
A drunk Chakraborty, the loser brother, is trying to bridge the ocean that has opened between them, only to find the distance too great. Chakraborty, an actor who is often celebrated more than he should be simply for being good in an industry full of mediocre talent, makes use of his full range here. From playful and boisterous to husked by sorrow, he flickers from boyish to broken within a matter of seconds.
