Starring Tota Roy Choudhury in the lead, the film Police tells a story about the police force, and how a team of law enforcers attempt to get the better of a gang of notorious criminals in rural Bengal.
Aalto prem, a song from its soundtrack, is a romantic track that provides a welcome departure from the film’s dominant mood of corruption and lawlessness. Focusing on the personal life of Tota’s character, Ranadeep Roy, it paints an aspect of the protagonist’s character that remains hidden for most of the film. A duet by Raj Barman and Ankita Mitra, which is written by Raja Chanda, it is a soft, melodious number that spreads a light, soothing and comforting vibe. Tracing the development of the romantic relationship of the character of the police officer, its music video captures him in many moods, from his dating and courtship days to his wedding, and then as a husband, setting up a home with his newly-wedded wife.
The video portrays remarkable shades of Ranadeep’s character that beautifully complement the qualities he possesses as a successful and diligent protector of the law. Impressive in his role as a tough cop, Tota is equally brilliant when he plays the role of a lover and husband. He depicts Ranadeep as warm, friendly and chivalrous, with a robust sense of humour. The video shows him as the perfect romantic boyfriend who takes his girlfriend out on dates and does everything he can to make her happy; the police officer is also seen as a caring husband who helps his wife do up the home in exactly the way she wants, often going the extra mile to surprise and delight her.
The visuals make it clear that Ranadeep is as serious and committed about his personal life as he is about his work, an aspect of his personality that makes him more fascinating and attractive to the audience. Tota brings life into Ranadeep’s romantic persona with energy and fun — his familiar and well-loved romantic image comes to the fore once again in Aalto prem, proving that his enduring popularity as a romantic hero on screen is undeniable. Looking handsome and dashing in uniform, his character easily sweeps his lady love off her feet with his impeccable manners and his effortless ability to make her laugh. Ranadeep’s discipline and dedication are underlined in his engagement on the domestic front, qualities that serve him all too well in his professional life.
Tota’s chemistry with Pean Sarkar, who plays his wife in Police, is explored in detail in Aalto prem. What is special about their chemistry is the friendly and relaxed feel they bring to their bond, with Ranadeep’s sense of responsibility, his protective nature and trustworthiness as a husband standing out as a pillar of their relationship.
