Remembering Mahanayak #UttamKumar on his 98th birth anniversary (03/09). Uttam Kumar, born Arun Kumar Chattopadhyay on September 3, 1926, and passing away on July 24, 1980, was a multi-talented figure in Indian cinema. Widely revered as the Mahanayak, he was an actor, producer, director, screenwriter, composer, and playback singer, primarily in the Bengali film industry. His illustrious career spanned over three decades, from the late 1940s until his untimely death in 1980.

Kumar's extensive filmography includes over 200 films, with some of his most celebrated works being Agni Pariksha, Harano Sur, Saptapadi, and Nayak. He also produced seven films and directed titles like Sudhu Ekti Bochor, Bon Palashir Padabali, and Kalankini Kankabati. Additionally, he composed music for several of his projects.

Regarded as one of the most influential actors in Bengali cinema history, Kumar was the first recipient of the National Film Award for Best Actor for his roles in Antony Firingee and Chiriyakhana in 1967. He also received the BFJA Best Actor Award and the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. His legacy is honored through the Mahanayak Uttam Kumar metro station in Tollygunge and the Mahanayak Samman Award by the West Bengal government.

Kumar had on-screen chemistry with several leading actresses, but his pairing with Suchitra Sen remains iconic. In 1955, he starred in the musical blockbuster Shapmochon, where every song became a hit, solidifying his legendary status alongside singer Hemanta Kumar. That same year, he won his first BFJA Best Actor Award for his role in Hrad, where he portrayed a man suffering from memory loss.

Throughout the late 1950s, Kumar continued to dominate the box office with hits like Harano Sur, Pothey Holo Deri, and Chandranath. In the 1960s, he maintained his leading star status, delivering hits like Maya Mriga and Saptapadi, for which he won his second BFJA Best Actor Award.

Notably, acclaimed director Satyajit Ray initially wanted Kumar for a role in his film Ghare Baire, written in 1956. However, Kumar declined, feeling the role was better suited for a more established actor. The film was eventually made in 1984, after Kumar's death, with Soumitra Chatterjee in the role.

Kumar first collaborated with Ray in 1966 for the film Nayak. The film's premiere was a significant event; when Kumar arrived, he was mobbed by fans, highlighting his immense popularity. He won his third BFJA Award for Best Actor for this role and even caught the attention of Hollywood actress Elizabeth Taylor, who expressed a desire to work with him.

In 1967, Kumar teamed up with Ray again for Chiriyakhana, becoming the first actor to portray the iconic Bengali detective Byomkesh Bakshi. When the National Film Awards were instituted by the Indian government, Kumar was the first to receive the Best Actor award in 1968 for his performances in Chiriyakhana and Antony Firingee.

To the Maestro who has always made me feel right at home every time I dived into his works,

The modest Genius whose worlds I keep returning to with my grandparents every time I hear the Feluda theme or 'আহা কি আনন্দ আকাশে বাতাসে',

To the Dreamer who inspires me to break out of the comfort zone to do whatever it takes,

To the Artist whose Uniqueness and Versatility leaves me awestruck everytime,

To the Storyteller who sparkles with sensitivity, captures life and frames it to you in scenes that touch your soul,

A simple Happy Birthday would seem insufficient. To discover you is a quest of a lifetime, মহারাজা

Satyajit Ray: A Pioneer in Indian Cinema

One of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th century was Satyajit Ray,

an Indian director, screenwriter, and author. His works have made a lasting

impression on the history of global cinema, and he has made enormous

contributions to Indian cinema.

Early Life and Career

On May 2, 1921, Satyajit Ray was born in Kolkata, British India.

His mother, Suprabha Ray, was a vocalist, and his father,

Sukumar Ray, was a writer and poet. Early exposure to l

iterature, music, and the arts helped Ray cultivate a keen

aesthetic sensibility. He continued his education by enrolling

at Presidency College in Calcutta and Visva-Bharati University

in Santiniketan, where he first encountered the writings of

Rabindranath Tagore and other notable figures in Bengali literature.

Ray began working as a visualizer for a British advertising agency

in Calcutta after he finished his education. He spent more than ten

years working there, learning vital filmmaking skills that would later

be useful to him in his work as a director.

 Also, he mastered the craft of filmmaking on his own by reading

books and watching movies.

Filmmaking Career

The first film made by Satyajit Ray, Pather Panchali

(Song of the Little Road), based on a book by

Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay, launched his

career as a director in 1955. The movie, which

was made on a tight budget with a mostly

unprofessional cast, is about a little child

growing up in rural Bengal. The movie was

a critical and financial hit and earned

numerous international honors, including

the 1956 Cannes Film Festival's Best Human

Documentary Award.

In what became known as the "Apu Trilogy,"

Ray went on to produce two further movies:

Aparajito (The Unvanquished) in 1956 and

Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) in 1959. 

The trilogy focuses on the life of Apu, a young

man who matures in India after Independence.

Jalsaghar (The Music Room), released in 1958,

Charulata (The Lonely Wife), Nayak (The Hero),

released in 1966, and Ghare-Baire (The House

and the World), released in 1984, are some of

Ray's other well-known movies. His films gained

notoriety for their realism, lyricism, and meticulousness

. He was also a master of visual narrative, making excellent

use of lighting and camera angles.

In addition to being a filmmaker, Ray was also a writer,

composer, and graphic artist. He published a number of

works, including a Feluda-starring detective novella

collection. Together with designing the posters, he also

created the music for his movie.

Legacy

The impact Satyajit Ray had on Indian cinema is enormous.

His films continue to be praised for their realism, compassion,

and beauty. He is widely considered as the founder of Indian

art cinema. Many modern Indian directors, including Mira Nair,

Deepa Mehta, and Shekhar Kapur, have been influenced by him.

The Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, the Golden Bear

at the Berlin International Film Festival, and the Academy Honorary

Award for Lifetime Achievement are just a few of the countless

international accolades Ray's movies have received. He received

the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honor, posthumously in 1992.

A heart attack and other health issues led to Satyajit Ray's

death on April 23, 1992, at the age of 70.Several of his

admirers and coworkers expressed their sorrow at his

passing, which was a major loss to Indian cinema. Ray

made a significant contribution to Indian cinema, and his

works are still praised for their beauty, compassion, and

realism. By his creative output and the impact he has on

present-day Indian filmmakers, his legacy endures.

My Daily Boy Sketchbook 2

After ma told me she liked this boy (reminded her of Victor Bannerjee in Ghare Baire) I looked at a few Rabindranath adaptations

Different eye design with focus on the eye bag. The Bengali sad boy is a  recurrent figure in Bengali cinema. I have no comments on this at the moment as I haven’t done any reading on it but I know it exists and I can easily spot the tropes

Also tried a version inspired by Tagore himself but quickly abandoned.

to be continued..

1, 5, 10 for tea and book ask game

thanks! just getting 'round to these now.

What period of history do you enjoy learning about?

in high school i was really into the colonial period leading up to the american revolution. yeah, i dunno. i might've been drawn to 'revolutionary' spirit of things. i never got into the h*milton hype but i admit i was pretty thrilled that someone else was interested enough in that time period that they wrote a whole musical about it and it got popular. more recently, i'm all over the place.

Do you have a favourite film soundtrack?

soundtrack as in compilation of mostly existing songs, off the top of my head: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2009) is one i listen to a lot in its entirety. for a film score, Spirited Away (2001)

Do you have a favourite classic novel?

many. i go back to The Count of Monte Cristo a lot. Anne of Green Gables is a sentimental favourite.

Persuasion is my favourite Jane Austen.

Dickens means a lot to me, but I hate his style and voice so much lmao - I can't resist the fun and genius of A Christmas Carol tho.

From the eastern canon, Ghare Baire by Rabindranath Tagore.
