Satyajit Ray and Soumitra Chatterjee once shared a three-story flat at 3 Lake Temple Road in South Kolkata. This house holds a place of remembrance for two iconic figures in Bengali cinema, has now changed ownership and is in the hands of a corporate body. Anandabazar Online, an Indian media outlet, has published a report on the current condition of this historic residence.
The movie certainly hits all the right notes of nostalgia. Having Soumitra Chatterjee, Sharmila Tagore, Subhendu Chatterjee and Samit Bhanja in their previous characters is indeed a treat.
Half a century has passed since the release of the critically acclaimed Bengali film "Ashani Sanket" (Distant Thunder), directed by the legendary Satyajit Ray. This landmark film, released in 1973, continues to captivate audiences with its timeless exploration of the human condition, transcending its historical context to resonate with modern-day socio-economic challenges.
Today marks the birthday of the person who immortalised the character of Apu in the film “Apur Shangshar”, with his ardent acting and expressions on-screen. He is none other than one of the brightest stars in the Bengali film industry, Soumitra Chatterjee.
Veteran West Bengal actor Soumitra Chatterjee was conferred with the highest civilian award of France, the Légion d'Honneur on Tuesday
