Minister Fatakeshto is a 2007 Bengali political action film directed by Swapan Saha and produced by Shree Venkatesh Films. It is the sequel to MLA Fatakeshto (2006), and the second installment of the Fatakeshto series.^[1]^[2]^[3] The film stars Mithun Chakraborty, Koel Mallick, and Soumitra Chatterjee reprising their roles from the previous film with George Baker, Deepankar De, Shankar Chakraborty and Locket Chatterjee playing pivotal roles. The screenplay and the dialogues were written by N.K Salil, with sountrack composed by Jeet Gannguli and action sequences designed by Judo Ramu. The film was a super-hit in the box office.

The film received mixed reviews from the critics. The critics praised the performances of Chakraborty, Koel Mallick and Chatterjee, dialogues written by N.K Salil, the music by Jeet Gannguli , the cinematography, but criticized the plot, the political portrayal and particularly the climax action sequence.

The song ''Ami Minister Fatakeshto'' was sung by Mithun Chakraborty himself, which topped the music charts on Sangeet Bangla. It was one of the highest grossing Bengali films of 2007.

Plot

The film continues after the events of MLA Fatakeshto. MLA turned Home Minister, Fatakeshto, (Mithun Chakraborty) calls for discipline and a pro-people attitude although he has a few co-ministers against him. With his usual dialogue "Marbo ekhaney, Lash porbe soshane" (I shall hit you here, but your body will fall at the crematorium), he bashes the goons right, left, and middle. Chaitali, a lady reporter is now reporting everything in "Star Ananda", a TV channel run by The Telegraph.

However, the Chief Minister (Soumitra Chatterjee) is in favor of Fatakeshto. With a 4000 crores loss in the Finance Department, Fatakeshto vows to take the Finance Ministry and recover the loss in seven days. The Chief Minister also bestows the duty to Fatakeshto of removing the FM (one of the goons). With many hurdles on the way, Mithun recovers almost Rs. 3700 crores loss by booking ministers for their misappropriation of funds but is left short of 300 crores.

In the meantime, the arch-villain calls all his group and plans to finish Fatakeshto. Further, he also calls for 48 Hours strike ("Bangla Bandh"), which Fatakeshto stops with his muscles. The villain then mixes dangerous germs in mineral water bottles which kills around 50 children in Bengal. This forces Fatakeshto to bow down in front of the villain and request life-saving medicine lying with him to save the suffering children. With someone reporting the mineral water mischief, Fatakeshto gets the arch-villain arrested for the crime soon.

In the showdown, the remaining 300 crores are being collected through public donations dropped in big mud hundies (Lakshmi Bhar). The villain comes out of jail on bail and loots the booty and takes it to an unknown destination to make Fatakehto responsible for the theft. One of the ministers who was with the villain somehow changes his mind and informs Fatakeshto the location where the booty is hidden. CM requests him to go back to his role of GOONDAGARDI (hooliganism) to recover people's money. Finally, Fatakeshto jumps into the den of the villains and fights around 200 to 300 karate masters. He finally kills the villain and captures the booty. The lost money is returned to the Chief Minister.
