Kolkata, Jan 5 (IBNS): After hitting the button of success in Bengali, Tollywood superstar Dev's latest adventure movie Amazon Obhijaan released nationally on Friday.

Amazon Obhijaan is the  most expensive Bengali movie ever produced.

Film critic Taran Adarsh tweeted: "The much-loved Bengali film #AmazonObhijaan - titled #AmazonAbhiyan [in Hindi] and #AmazonAdventure [in Tamil, Telugu, Assamese, Odia] - has released nationally today... #AmazonObhijaan [Bengali] had released on 22 Dec 2017 in Bengal."

Amazon Obhijaan, produced by SVF - eastern India’s largest movie production house,  released nationally on Friday in 5 different Indian languages- Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Assamese and Odia.

While the Hindi version has been titled as Amazon Abhiyan, the mega-budget film will be called Amazon Adventure in rest of the languages.

Director Kamaleswar Mukherjee shot Amazon Obhijaan as the first Indian movie in Amazon rainforest and only the 8th movie worldwide to be shot in that location.

With panthers, anacondas, alligators, deceptive rivers and tribals galore — Amazon Adventure/Amazon Abhiyan promises an adventure of a lifetime.

Commenting on this, Mahendra Soni- Co-founder, SVF said, “We are a company driven by the passion called cinema and strive towards bringing the best possible experience for our audience. We are thrilled with the overwhelming response that Amazon Obhijaan has received in Bengal. We are confident that people across all age groups will love the way we have brought Amazon on screen.”

The expedition led by the Bengali cinestar Dev playing the explorer Shankar Choudhury is touted as a visual treat to watch for families specially children who love adventure. Veteran Brazilian actor David James plays the role of Marco Florian and Indian based Russian actress Svetlana Gulakova plays Marco’s daughter Anna Florian who joins Shankar to the mysterious yet endearing journey to El Dorado.
