Soumitra Chatterjee
Radio announcer and poet, Soumitra has always been the thinking
person's movie actor. His debut was in Satyajit Ray's Apur Sansar
(1959), where his performance earmarked him as a talent to reckon
with. Much of his film career has been in Ray's movies -- Devi (1960),
Punashcha (1961), Charulata (1964), Kapurush (1965),
Aranyer Din Ratri (1969), the children's films Sonar Kella
(1974) and Joi Baba Felunath (1978), Ghare Bhaire (1984),
Ganashatru (1989). His enactment of the suave Charminar-smoking
Satyajit Ray creation, amateur sleuth Felu-da (Prodosh Mitter),
has given immortality to the role.
In addition, Chatterjee has performed in stellar films like Ajoy
Kar's Saat Pake Bandha (1963), Mrinal Sen's Akash Kusum (1965),
Tapan Majumdar's Sansar Simantey (1975), and Ganadevata (1978).
