The 2023 “Kabuliwala” is set in Kolkata in 1965 and beautifully portrays the heartwarming connection between Rahmat (played by Mithun Chakraborty), a middle-aged Afghan dry fruit seller, and a lively little Bengali girl named Mini (Anumegha Kahali). Rahmat, far away from his own daughter back in Afghanistan, finds a fatherly affection blossoming for Mini, who reminds him of his child.
The film sensitively captures their innocent and profound friendship, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers. It also subtly touches upon the social and political context of the time. The narrative follows their bond, the joys they share, and the eventual separation caused by circumstances, echoing the poignant themes of Tagore’s original story: love, longing, and the universality of human connection. The film was praised for Mithun Chakraborty’s moving performance and its faithful yet fresh retelling of the classic tale.
