The film revolves around the timeless narrative penned by Rabindranath Tagore, brought to life on the silver screen through the masterful portrayal of the character Rahmat by veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty. Mithun's portrayal of Rahmat, a middle-aged Afghan man expressing paternal affection for a young girl named Mini in the vibrant city of Kolkata in 1965, deeply connects with audiences of all generations.
The end credits of the film feature 'Bhaabo Jodi,' composed by Indraadip Das Gupta. This song beautifully encapsulates the heartwarming tale, depicting the endearing bond shared between Rahmat, Mini, and other characters played by Anumegha Kahali, Abir Chatterjee, and Sohini Sarkar.
Arijit Singh, known for his versatile musical talents, hails from Murshidabad, West Bengal, with a mixed cultural heritage of a Punjabi father and Bengali mother, adding a personal resonance to his rendition of this emotional track.
'Kabuliwala' captures an era that celebrates heartfelt connections, emphasizing the profound significance of love that transcends cultural boundaries and geographical borders.
Director Suman Ghosh, in collaboration with Mithun Chakraborty, after their previous success with 'Nobel Chor,' revitalized this timeless classic for the Bengali silver screen, keeping the essence of Tagore's narrative intact.
Notably, the story of 'Kabuliwala' was earlier immortalized in cinema by director Hemen Gupta in 1961, featuring Balraj Sahni, Usha Kiran, Sajjan, Sonu, and Baby Farida.
The Mithun-starrer 'Kabuliwala' is brought to audiences by SVF Entertainment, produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Shrikant Mohta, and Mahendra Soni, and released by Jio Studios and SVF, presenting a modern interpretation of this beloved classic.
