Bengali actress Ritabhari Chakraborty, who has been getting a lot of positive response to her work in the Bengali film ‘Fatafati’, has shared that she chose the film out of all projects that she had at the time of signing because she wanted to send out a social message surrounding body positivity. The actress also gained weight for her role.
The actress said that she had two surgeries in 2020, after which she gained six kgs, though it’s not a big number but for an actress, it’s quite a lot because there are certain expectations from actresses of her age.
She said, “Aritra Mukherjee (the director of the film) and I have done ‘Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti’ together and when ‘Fatafati’ came to his mind, he wanted me to be part of it, however, the challenge was that I had to go from medium to Xl for it which means gaining 15-20 kilos more.

Parambrata Chattopadhyay is the latest actor to play Oscar-winning Indian master Satyajit Ray’s detective Prodosh Chandra Mitter Aka Feluda in streamer ZEE5 Global’s series “Shabash Feluda.”
Feluda first appeared in the Ray family’s Bengali-language magazine Sandesh in 1965. Ray directed two Feluda films, “The Golden Fortress” (1974) and “The Elephant God” (1978), where the Bengali detective was played by his frequent collaborator Soumitra Chatterjee. Feluda has subsequently been played by a range of Indian actors, including Shashi Kapoor, Abir Chatterjee, Tota Roy Chowdhury, Indraneil Sengupta and Bangladesh’s Ahmed Rubel.
The detective is part of the fabric of growing up in West Bengal and Bangladesh, akin to what Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple used to be for several generations in the west.

The citation of the jury arrived and it declared the reason behind the prestigious award received by the Indian film, Dictionary (Bengali/2021/ 110 minutes) in the recently concluded Nepal International Film Festival, 2021. The illustrious jury members unanimously cited the deliberation before submitting their verdict. They thought Dictionary was the “delicate depiction of a slice of the contemporary Indian society portrayed with warm humour and critique of the substitution of cultural values”.
A short stint with the director Bratya Basu revealed that it was the vulnerability of marital and familial relationships that attracted his attention to make the film. Inspired from two short stories,Baba howa (becoming a father) and Swami howa (becoming a husband) by the renowned Bengali writer Buddhadev Guha, this film germinated in Basu’s mind slowly and quite imperceptibly.Basu felt that institutions were not beyond question but institutions could not always be seen and judged sceptically.

There is something to be said about Bengali cinema's ongoing fascination with Satyajit Ray and yes, you can add Uttam Kumar to that. At one point in this able fable, the film's scholar-hero Subarn Sen (played by the always watchable Abir Chatterjee) says cheekily, "Before and after Partition Bengal was obsessed with 'UK' -- the United Kingdom and then Uttam Kumar.
There is a dash of Uttam in Abir, a fine actor who creates a graph for his character even the script is not of much help. Here, Abir yokes a sense of childlike fun with a somber and not always consistent meditation on the loss of cultural heritage in Bengal brought on by the designs of plunderers and marauders.
Often the screenplay (Dhrubo Banerjee and Subhendu Dasmunshi) seems weighed down by the sprawling onus of conveying a sequence of historical events that underline the fun aspect of the treasure hunt.

The trailer starts with a narration by Anjan Dutt that defines the reality of life comparing it with the algorithm of a winter’s day. A tune of violin flows along the trailer depicting the rhythm of life in an uncanny manner. The movement of camera blends perfectly with the song which portrays the truth of love in this materialistic world. Life has been captured inside the walls of a hotel where co-exist love, pain and betrayal and all define the certitudes of life like ever-existing pole star. Its one of the classiest trailers released in recent times, creating an aura of avidity aesthetically.
