Whether it is a research on Bengali films or two or four books, a person’s name should be mentioned in bold. He is a good potter. In the history of Bengali cinema, it has always earned the title of ‘Mahanayak’. He has enriched the film with his handsome looks, deep-seated gaze, and skillful acting, and soared to unique heights. Where actors from generation to generation dream of going.

After keeping an eye on the calendar page, it turned out that today is September 3rd. That means that fall is happening in nature. White cloud spirals in the sky, sometimes a wet story of a little rain and the occasional swaying of the wind. In the midst of all this, we remember the man who came to earth on this autumn day, who changed the history of Bengali cinema. He wrote a new epic as himself as a hero.

Looking at Uttam Kumar’s film career, one can find a shining example of inspiration. Uttam Kumar has brilliantly demonstrated how a person can climb to the highest peak of success from a state of total failure.

Before we enter the cinematic world of Uttam Kumar, let’s delve into the history of his upbringing. He was born on September 3, 1926 in Calcutta. His real name is Arun Kumar Chatterjee. Tuition from South Sabern School, Kolkata and Goenka College higher education. However, it is better not to complete graduation for work.

Due to the tension in the family, Uttam Kumar had to get a job in her education. But for those who were born to make history, what a job it is to stay! Better to cherish sleep than to act mentally. He could have known that his race was far away. Then Uttam Kumar changed his name from Arun. I know when the wheel of fortune turns and falls; He waited with hope.

The end of the wait is the year of the independence of India. In 1948, Uttam had the opportunity to act in a movie called ‘Mayador’. But no, there is no great character; As an extra artist. The result, not to be noticed. Then, in 1948, he performed in ‘Drishtidan’. Nor here is a significant character. He got the main character the following year. I mean the hero. The name of the film is ‘Kamna’. Heroine image verdict. After the release of the film, the face fell. Absolutely superflop! Uttam made his hero debut during the sinking.

This is not the end, Uttam Kumar has acted in eight films in eight consecutive years since then. All of which have failed. That is why his name became ‘Flopmaster’. That flopmaster once became a superstar; Hitmaster. The vitality of the lives of millions of viewers, the hero of young women’s dreams.

The history of the change began in 1954. However, Uttam Kumar had previously acted in ‘Basu Paribar’ in 1952 and ‘Sare Chuattar’ in 1953. In 1954 he rose to the peak of popularity. He acted in 14 movies that year. Most of which were successful. The most notable of these is the “Calvary”. Uttam Kumar and Suchitra acted together in this film. After that, they established themselves as the most popular and timeless couple in Bengali cinema. One of the films starring the duo is ‘Harano Sur’, ‘Pathe Holo Deri’, ‘Saptapadi’, ‘Chawa-Pawa’, ‘Bipasha’, ‘Jeevan Trishna’ and ‘Sagarika’.

Uttam Kumar has acted in many films. Although he has done most of his work in Bengali cinema, he has also made films in Hindi. His films include ‘Mouchak’, ‘Deya Neya’, ‘Sare Chuattar’, ‘Indrani’, ‘Sabar Upar’, ‘Anthony Firingi’, ‘Nayak’, ‘Amanush’, ‘Triyama’, ‘Zoo’. , ‘Sadaner Mela’, ‘Shyamoli’, ‘Kal Tumi Aleya’, ‘Rajkumari’, ‘Chowrangi’, ‘Ekti Raat’, ‘Shesh Ank’, ‘Here Pinjar’, ‘Sannyasi Raja’, ‘Mem Saheb’, ‘ Uttar Falguni ‘,’ Abak Prithibi ‘,’ Sei Chokh ‘,’ Ananda Ashram ‘,’ Naika Sangbad ‘,’ Bon Palashir Padabali ‘,’ Dui Prithibi ‘,’ Shilpi ‘,’ Abhayer Biye ‘,’ Kitab ‘,’ Shapmochan ”, ‘Wife’, ‘Agnishwar’, ‘Ora Thake Odhare’ and ‘Chhoti Si Mulakat’, etc.

Uttam Kumar has not only achieved success as a hero in commercial films, he has also triumphed in the alternative genre. If you look at their receipt book, you can see the proof. He won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performances in ‘Nayak’, ‘Anthony Firingi’ and ‘Zoo’. He also won the national honor as a producer for the film ‘Uttar Falguni’.

In his personal life, Uttam Kumar married Gauri Devi. They married in 1948, at the beginning of their career. Her only son in this world is Gautam Chatterjee. Gautam’s son, Gaurav Chatterjee, is currently a popular actor in Tollywood. Uttam Kumar left the family in 1983. He lives with then-actress Supriya Devi. They lived together for 16 long years before the death of Uttam Kumar.

Uttam Kumar suffered a stroke in 1980 while filming the movie ‘Ogo Bandhu Sundari’. He was later admitted to the hospital. Doctors do their best. But Uttam breathed his last on July 24 of that year. After his death in Bhabanipur, Uttam Kumar was taken to Calcutta. After the news of his death spread, a terrible traffic jam was created in Calcutta. Because thousands of fans come down the street to see the beloved hero one last time, to pay their respects.

Three decades have passed since Uttam Kumar. But what’s in it! Even more than that, he’s in a deeper, inner room in the heart of the audience. He became the eternal hero of Bengali cinema.
