Chaka (film)

[7] The music of the film was composed by Kalyan Sen Barat, with lyrics penned by Pulak Banerjee and Nachiketa.

[12] Chakraborty's portrayal of Manik Mondal was well received by the critics once again generating the speculation that he well perceives the marginalized impulse.

[6][13] The film won Chakraborty his first Anandalok Award in the category of the best actor in a leading role, in 2001.

Though he is an ordinary labourer who leads a poverty-stricken life, he becomes a significant financial help for the upcoming wedding of Bhadu, Jhumur's sister.

One day he learns that Jhumur is in love with another man but her mother Jaba does not want her to reveal it before Manik.

Even though Manik is now aware that he has so long been exploited by Jhumur's mother, he does not turn outrageous nor he stops helping the family.

He visits a brothel and falls in love with a beautiful prostitute Tagar whom he marries even though she reminds him that she is a fallen woman who has no social dignity.
