Mahanayak Uttam Kumar
Today is the 24th of July. But this day is not only seen as an ordinary day by the bengalees,but also a mournfull day.we lost a great soul of our bengali film industry today.Today, almost a 4 decades after the incident, he is still the favorite hero of dreams in the corner of every bengali mind.He is still the ultimate form of romanticism for bengalees and its culture. Let's try to look at different aspects of everyone's favorite 'Uttam Kumar'.
The star was born on September 3, 1926 in an ordinary family. In the early stages of life, he went through severe financial difficulties. So, after finishing his studies, he had to start earning money.
In his early life he worked as a clerk in the Calcutta Port Trust. But he was not only passionate of being a simple serviceman like the average bengalees, his goal was more big. Although he acted for some films from 1948-1952, no film was a commercial success. He was better known as 'Flop Master' in the bengali film industry then.
But the hugely successful film 'Sare Chuattar' in 1953 brought another dimension to his fortune and Bengali film history. He never had to look back after that. He acted in a total of 212 films from 1947-1980. In all the Indian films, especially in the bengali film world, a number of his films have shown his brilliant acting. But like many others, I too think he became known in the world for his film 'Nayak' directed by world famous director Satyajit Ray.Yes,the legend director himself thought about the film for casting Uttam Kumar as the lead role.whatelse could be a bigger achievement in the life of an actor?
Although he had no disputes with anyone for professional reasons, the practice of excellence in acting with Soumitra Chatterjee, another legend actor in the Indian film industry and a favorite actor of Satyajit Ray, is one of the topics of conversation among us.Although personally the two were respectful of each other.
Not only in acting, he later directed films, composed music and produced several films. Not only that, he also wrote two screenplays based on short stories. He also acted in hindi films but he could not succeed there due to linguistic reasons. At the age of only 53 in the year 1980 on this day, he left us and rested to the land of eternal peace.
