Uttam Kumar, arguably the greatest Bengali actor of the post-WWII period, plays another iconic actor, Arindam Mukherjee, who is expected in Delhi where he is scheduled to make an appearance at a prestigious event to receive an important award. The trip from his home town to his final destination is a long one, well over 1,000 miles, which means that he must spend almost two full days on a train.
On the train he is haunted by prophetic nightmares whilst also striking up a friendship with an editor of a women’s magazine. Over the course of the long journey he gives her a candid interview revealing his past and how desperately he has tried to cling to his success at the expense of his friends and morals.
Nayak is a thoughtful meditation on life and stage, being and appearing, through the eyes of a man pondering where he is and where he wants to go next.
