Bande Utkala Janani (film)
Bande Utkala Janani Odia Salute to Mother Utkala is a 2008 Indian Oriya film directed by Suvendu Swain. The film deals with themes of patriotism and honesty towards profession. That this is the first Oriya film released through satellite using Digital UFO system.
The irony of the situation is that the films title itself suggests that it is a patriotic movie and it portrays three honest police officers fighting corruption. Some of the noted actors have been cast in the film and the producer and the director have left no stone unturned to show skin, much to the disgust of Oriyas. Bande Utkal Janani, was supposed to be a social, actionoriented drama. But it is a terrible movie. Even the songs are not good. The only exception in the film is Minaketan the main villain. His portrayal of a corrupt politician who uses rustic language certainly deserves accolade.In this movie the songs are completely modern in nature. The lyrics are by Bapu Goswami, Panchanana Nayak, and Bijaya Malla. Music arrangement by Nityashri Ranjan. To make it appealing to youth all songs have been done by keyboard sequencing. Abhijit Majumdar is the first composer after Late Sri Akshaya Mohanty to sing a song in a film for another music composer. ........
