Yeti Obhijaan (transl. Adventures revolving the Abominable Snowman) is a 2017 Indian Bengali-language action-adventure film co-written and directed by Srijit Mukherji based on the novel Pahar Churaye Atonko, written by Sunil Gangopadyay. Produced by Shrikant Mohta and Mahendra Soni under the banner of Shree Venkatesh Films, the film stars Prosenjit Chatterjee, Aryann Bhowmik, Jisshu U Sengupta, Ferdous Ahmed and Bidya Sinha Saha Mim in lead roles.[1] The film is a sequel to Mishawr Rawhoshyo[2] and the second installment in the Kakababu franchise.

The soundtrack and the background score were composed by Indraadip Dasgupta, while the cinematography was done by Soumik Halder. The action sequences were choreographed by Judo Ramu.

Plot

[edit]

After the mysterious disappearance of mountaineer Caine Shipton, rumours of the giant beast Yeti are spread all over the world. Kakababu and Sontu embark on an adventurous journey to Gorokhshep Plateau at the base of Mount Everest to unveil the mystery. With the help of Nepali special force officers Jang Bahadur Rana and Tribhuban Gupta and loyal sherpa Mingma, they expose the illegal ventures going on under the caves of the mountain, with Caine Shipton himself being the mastermind behind it.[1]

Production

[edit]

Yeti Obhijaan is produced by Shree Venkatesh Films.[5] The film was originally intended to be a joint venture between India and Bangladesh, with the production company Jaaz Multimedia set to serve as the Bangladeshi co-producer,[6][5] and this would eventually lead to the casting of Bangladeshi actors Ferdous Ahmed and Bidya Sinha Saha Mim.[7] However, due to conflicts with filming, Jaaz Multimedia removed their investment and the film became solely an Indian film.

The film was shot in India and Switzerland.

Release

[edit]

Yeti Obhijaan released on Durga Puja 2017. This is the first 3D film of Bengal, but will now witness a 2D release due to some infrastructure constraints.[8] The sole reason for the same is the lack of sufficient 3D screens in West Bengal. As per multiplex reports, a 3D version of a film always has a better pull than its 2D version.

Reception

[edit]

The film received mixed reviews from critics.The Times of India gave the film a 2.5 star rating out of five, and commented, "On the whole, Yeti Obhijaan is disappointing. Pahar Churaye Aatonko is one of the best Kakababu adventures and it is sad to see our childhood nostalgia snuffed out on screen. It fails to thrill, let alone entertain. It is too early to say that Srijit Mukherjee has lost his mojo, but his storytelling is a shadow of what it used to be a few years back. It seems that there was a time when he wanted to tell stories, today he wants to helm projects. And the difference shows."[11]

Sequel

[edit]

The third sequel of the Kakababu franchise, Kakababur Protyaborton, released in 2022.[12]
