MLA Fatakeshto is a 2006 Indian Bengali-language political drama film directed by Swapan Saha for Shree Venkatesh Films, starring Mithun Chakraborty, Debashree Roy, Koel Mallick, Rajatava Dutta and Soumitra Chatterjee. It is the first Masala film in Bengali Cinema, which was always known for Arthouse Cinema. The film was a "Superhit" at box office during the 2006 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election. Makers thought to release the movie after elections have been commenced but they had to release it before assembly elections just to avoid any unnecessary scuffle and backlash.

This is the first part of Fatakeshto (film series), the other one being Minister Fatakeshto and is famous for the dialogue Marbo ekhane, lash porbe sashane (I will hit you here and the body will be there at the cremation ground).[2][3][4] This movie is remembered for its iconic dialogues by Mithun Chakraborty & is considered one of the Best Films based on Politics in India and Unemployment. Amidst assembly elections the film still managed to collect ₹ 7.5 Crores at Box Office and that too during elections.[1]
