Prime Time With Ravish Bengali Film Industry Loses One Of Its Greatest Actors - Soumitra Chatterjee

Prime Time - November 16, 2020: Soumitra Chatterjee, who captivated Bengal with his luminescent performances on the Bengali silver screen for 62 years, who would have turned 86 on the 19th of January next year, died today after a 40-day struggle at the hospital, battling COVID-19, complications and comorbidities. The Dada Saheb Phalke award came in 2012, the Padma Bhushan in 2004. Soumitra Chatterjee had rejected the Padma Shri twice before that because, it is said, he felt they came too late and not for his best work. Soumitra Chatterjee did not just act in films. He straddled the theatre, acting on stage, directing and writing plays, essays, poetry. He painted. He raised the recitation of poetry to a fine art that entranced Bengal for years. (Audio in Hindi)
