Soumitra Chatterjee

Brilliance that can never die

I have seen only one film of Soumitra Chatterjee, Ghare Bhaire. I am sharing the whole movie for discerning film viewers. Curious viewers could watch on to discover the magnificence of this actor. Discover the sheer effortlessness of his acting. Non-chalance is the word that perfectly describes his actions as he descends from the palanquin in the 20th minute and addresses the gathering for 4 minutes. Watch sparks fly as he covets his friends wife and the ensuing interactions.

The movie based on Tagore's Home and the World,  is a brilliant exploration of the Swadeshi and the liberal. The difference between the ideological shifts, the hidden motives and the true persona . 

After seeing Soumitra in Ghare Bhaire and Uttam kumar in Nayak, I have reason to believe that they could be the first amongst equals in a country of great actors.

I always believe people who have lived  a full life are always blessed and remain in our hearts forever.

I hope to catch up with Soumitra Chatterjee's work
