Soumitra Chatterjee and His World by Sanghamitra Chakraborty is the first definitive biography of the actor. From his partnership with Satyajit Ray to his forays into poetry, editorship and art.
With two stalwarts of Indian cinema—Soumitra Chatterjee and Naseeruddin Shah— anchoring the narrative, the film will nudge you to think where India is headed.
The Covid pandemic spread far and wide in India, from Bollywood celebrities to politicians. ThePrint lists the prominent names who tested positive for or died due to the virus.
Soumitra Chatterjee acted in nearly 300 films, including Satyajit Ray’s Apur Sansar, Charulata & Ghare Baire. He had been in hospital since testing positive for Covid on 6 Oct.
Since the bulk of citizens did not regard drinking as a crime, they had no respect for the prohibition laws and did not cooperate with the police, wrote MV Venkata Rao in 1962.

Indians, outside Bengal, were not “deprived” of S Chatterjee. Rather, they were “lucky” to have been spared and saved from the scourge of communism
Intellectuals like Mr. Chatterjee, who stoutly supported the Left and it’s anti-industry policies in West Bengal, are the reason why Bengal has been on a decline for the last five decades. Instead of speaking truth to power, they became cheerleaders of the Left Front as it dragged Bengal through the mud.
These intellectuals must be held just as responsible for the sorry state of affairs in today’s Bengal. What was once the most developed and industrialised state in the nation has now been reduced to a laggard- a pale shadow of it’s former self.
