too many flashbacks result in reducing the impact of an otherwise strong script. the film ends with the exposure of anirudha, his death at the hands of visakha who feels as cheated and manipulated as sagina and others. although art director sudhendu roy won the filmfare trophy for his work, “sagina” did not fare well at the box office, even with subodh roy’s editing and bimal mukherjee’s cinematography .
the most current crop of directors, post the four devils, includes mitsuru meike, whose film the glamorous life of sachiko hanai is the film i’d like to look at .

the film was dubbed in telugu as

. the film was not remade ever in hindi and plot of
bairaag
( 1976) with dilip kumar had no similarity with original film. it was also remade in kannada as
thayi mamathe
( 1985) .
tapan sinha' s first film ankush was based on narayan gangopadhyay' s story' sainik'. in 1957, his film' kabuliwala' was shown in berlin film festival. he has won national award many times. his films were shown in different film festivals all over the world. he was married to actress arundhuti who passed away in 1990. sinha lives in calcutta .

since its an international project, we will be canning the entire film in germany and its surroundings .
‘ram aur shyam’ a film in which he played the dual roles of twin brothers who are separated at birth and reunited later on is a very famous film which has inspired several remakes in hindi films .
tapan sinha made a few documentaries, and one such was a biographical film on scientist jagadish bose .
sagina is a factory laborer, and aggressive, honest and lovable character who was the first to fight against the tyranny of the british bosses in the tea gardens of north - eastern india .
sagina’s fiery character is doubled by that of lalita (saira banu), a mountain bengal tigress ready to slit whoever approaches her, and whose faithfulness to sagina is one of the movie’s great wonders. because saira banu isn’t a the movie’s pretty face: that title is reserved to vishaka, the socialist secretary we shall speak about in a minute, played by beauty aparna sen. but to have cast saira banu as sagina’s companion (we don’t know if they’re married, but it can be supposed) shows a sure flair. the movie’s realism and authenticity certainly gains from it .

sinha made a few documentaries, including a biographical film on scientist jagadish bose. he also used rabindrasangeet in other films. the rabindrasangeet keno choker jole bijeye dile na, sukhno dulo joto is used in his film ekhoni. the film featured swaroop dutta, aparna sen, moushumi chatterjee, nirmal kumar, chinmoy roy, padda devi, subhendu chatterjee, n. vishwanathan and others. the film was based on a novel by ramapada chowdhury .
his film ‘kohinoor’ in which he acted opposite meena kumari was a rare film where he played a light - hearted role. the movie is famous for its funny scenes and dilip kumar won a filmfare award for his role .
charles dicken' s' a tale of two cities' and its film version promoted the dada saheb phalke awardee to join films and he went on to become an uncompromising film - maker in a class of his own .
tapan sinha' s latest venture, anokha moti, is being made by the director in the new millennium. the film features arjun chakravorty, and is being made in hindi. it is a film made for children .
the film - maker got the opportunity to work in pinewood studio in the u. k. in 1950 .
unlike kashyap’s earlier film – where his references fuelled by anger, hurt, and an unfettered ego, work perfectly, each one connecting to something larger, creating interesting narrative arcs – sadly in this film they persistently fall flat .
the movie, which follows the story of the young boy from rags to riches, has won bafta nominations for best film, adapted screenplay, cinematography, editing, music, production design, sound and outstanding british film categories .
the other big problem with the film is that while lust is supposed to be the driving force of the film it curiously shies away and trivializes it and makes it comical. i’m not looking for the erotics of genitalia en regalia but the filmmaker should have explored this aspect seriously, considering it is one of the themes running through the film .
might be categorised as a political film, although human drama and relationship lie at the heart of this magnum opus .
on returning to india, he turned his attention to film direction and made movies in bengali, hindi and oriya .
the film seems to defy categorization and exists as many things at once, each battling with the other, a science fiction tale, a children’s fantasy, a comic book film and most importantly, a tale about the loneliness of childhood .
sagina is a factory laborer, and an aggressive, honest and lovable character who was the first to fight against the tyranny of the british bosses in the tea gardens of north - eastern india. [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
although he was primarily based in the bengali film industry, he also made films in different languages like hindi and oriya .
and in fact, slowly, one by one, they refuse to play aniruddha’s hunting game: at first they’re struck by the scene, but recovering their senses, they realize that sagina has also been trapped, as they have been trapped. he hasn’t betrayed them, nor is he all - powerful, he’s just one of them. darker forces had tried to hypnotize all of them into believing sagina was a double - dealer. now even amal loyally recognizes that sagina cannot be the monster aniruddha portrays and, cornered, tries to judge all on his own, declaring him guilty and that he should be killed straight away. he has a gun, and is going to execute his crazy justice, but amal intervenes, and takes the shot. aniruddha tries to escape, is caught by a vengeful sagina, who throws away the gun: his hands are enough. but then another executioner enters the scene and ends the madman’s life .
things start deteriorating nevertheless when revolutionaries from the city (nearby calcutta) start becoming interested in the particular worker resistance that has coalesced around sagina. such a feat cannot remain unexploited: the communist party who probably is also trying to federate some reaction against the colonial power, comes to the company in the form of amal, who ventures to put some socialist ideas about rules and legality in sagina’s mind. act legal, become a recognised party: that is amal’s creed. but sagina, even if he tries to do his best, remains a political yokel, and when a crisis comes, will follow nothing but his instinct. the workers he leads remain unruled and wild, as the bengal tiger who leads them .
cast and crew meetup finalising the cast and discussing more about the film and the other details. steps about the work and progress
competing against it for best film would be the curious case of benjamin button, frost / nixon, milk and the reader .
new delhi: veteran bengali film director tapan sinha was on monday selected for the prestigious dadasaheb phalke award for the year 2006 .
tapan sinha has also made use of rabindrasangeet in other films. the memorable rabindrasangeet keno choker jole bijeye dile na, sukhno dulo joto was used in his film ekhoni. the film featured swaroop dutta, aparna sen, moushumi chaterji, nirmal kumar, chinmoy roy, padda devi, subhendu chaterji, n. vishwanathan and others. the film was based on a novel by ramapada choudhury .
the music was composed by kalyanji - anandji and all songs of the film were memorable numbers. the lyrics were by anand bakshi .
my fear is that patalghar the bengali film directed by abhijit chaudhuri a. k. a. dadu is slipping thorough the cracks of time. that is an unfortunate prospect for a film which is worth discovering and re - discovering by cineastes all over the world .
reflecting on bergman’s cinema, the french film - maker jean - luc goddard commented once, “nothing can be more classically romantic. ”
tapan sinha' s first film ankush was based on the narayan ganguly story sainik, which had an elephant in the central character .
kabulliwallah (1956) was subsequently remade in hindi by bimal roy and directed by heman gupta, featuring balraj sahani. oerdellin was cast as the child lead. the film won the music award and the silver bear at the 7th berlin international film festival. [ 4 ]
with its domestic success, the director got permission to expand the film to a feature - length of about 95 minutes and changed its title to the glamorous life of sachiko hanai. the film was sent to festivals in 2005 and gained some sort of appreciation and cult status .
is a hindi film with sunil dutt and waheeda rehman. it fared badly, possibly because the narration was too subtle for hindi audiences .
our friends should have watched the ka abbas film naxalite. all prominent bengali writers and filmmakers have been dealing with the subject since seventies !
an avid follower of american directors like william wyler and john ford, he entered the film world as a technician. he completed his journey there with 41 films, 19 of which won national awards and laurels from international film festivals of london, venice, moscow and berlin .
‘kabuliwallah’, based on a short story by rabindranath tagore, won the president' s gold medal for the best film of the country .
kabuliwallah, based on a short story by rabindranath tagore, won the president' s gold medal for the best film of the country .
in a country where every second film director has delusions of being a genius doing something unique, ‘different’ being that half - assed buzz word, at least pryas gupta in his debut film has actually tried something interesting, even if there are, unfortunately, problems along the way .
hatey bazaare (1967), one of sinha’s most accomplished works, deals with human goodness and the spirit of protest that leads to collective happiness. the film, based on a novel written by banaphool in the form of a diary, once again shows his mastery over adapting difficult literary works into cohesive cinema. ashok kumar and vyjayanthimala played the lead roles and the film won the national award for the best feature film .
noted film - maker tapan sinha was a master storyteller whose filmography presented an amazing variety of subjects promising different experiences for the audience each time .
tapan sinha' s hansuli banker upakatha was based on a story by tara shankar banerji. lily chakravorty had a good role in this film .
on his return to india, he shifted his focus to film - making and went on to make films in bengali, hindi and oriya .
this post is dedicated to indian film indutry, this good work is not mine this good work is performed by my beloved sulekha. com .
sinha' s films have also won laurels in international film festivals of berlin, venice, london, moscow, san francisco, locarno, cork festival in ireland kampuchea and seoul. he has also served as a member of the jury in film festivals at tashkent and san francisco among others .
tapan sinha' s kabuliwallah was based on a story by rabindranath tagore. chabi biswas, radhamohan bhattacharji, kali banerji and manju de were the performers. tinku thakur played the role of the small girl in the film. jiban bose had a good role too in the film as a jailor, who has good faith in the kabulliwallah. rabindrasangeet khoro bayu boy bege chari dik chaye meghe was used in the film. the film portrayed tapan sinha' s personality - a child at heart. the same trait is reflected in films like galpo hollo satti, harmonium and safed hathi .
i have always viewed the film as a kind of pilgrim’s progress for kartik whose journey through the narrative makes him aware of some of life’s lessons .
kabuliwala (1956), based on a story by rabindranath tagore, won the music award at the berlin film festival, demonstrating his sharp sensitivity .
while not obsessed with the bourgeois need to experience technically pristine visuals, i think the hd (on which the film was shot) transfer to film is problematic. there seems to be a fair amount of jitter and some colour flashes. i hope true seekers will not be too upset by this .
born in 1924. science graduate from university of calcutta. sinha began his film career as a sound engineer in calcutta' s new theatre in 1946. four years later, he received an invitation to the london film festival and the opportunity of working at pinewood studios. he was in uk for two years. on returning to india, he turned his attentions to film directing. tapan sinha was influenced by american and british film making. tagore was a great source of inspiration to him. he made three films on tagore' s stories: kabuliwala, hungry stones (khudito pashan), atithi .
tapan sinha' s zindagi zindagi was a hindi film with sunil dutt and waheeda rehman. it fared badly because sinha was too subtle for hindi audience in his narration. he is one director who rarely compromises. so, one is sure that the film went over the head of the mass audience .
but i came to feel the movement only after i saw sagina mahato. it happened with kabuliwala also. i read it in my childhood but felt it only after seeing tapan sinha film! i always rated ritwik ghatak as the greatest film director in india. i tried to see all new waves films including those made by shyam benegal, sathyu, gobind nilhani and mrinal sen! i was never influenced by satyajit roy, the bengali elite icon! but tapan sinha always appealed me and i was always able to communicate with the medium with full passion as far as tapan sinha was concerned !
chokh (english: the eyes) is a 1982 indian bengali film directed by utpalendu chakrabarty, with om puri, anil chatterjee, shyamanand jalan and sreela majumdar in lead roles. the film is set in 1975 and the oppression and exploitation of jute mill workers in kolkata. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
for over half of his career, film societies in kolkata viewed him with scepticism though during his later years a shift from their earlier stance was visible .
kolkata: noted film - maker tapan sinha was a master storyteller whose filmography presented an amazing variety of subjects promising different experiences for the audience each time .
the main problem however with the film is that the plot mechanics come in the way of making it a truly interesting cinematic experience. the narrative – which deals with the quest of the protagonist to be truly free by getting rid of all his needs, both financial and creative – seems to have some noir - inspired elements and keeps disturbing the tone which is so essential to the film. especially towards the last third, it really destroys the purer aspects of the film .
sinha' s final venture, the children' s filme anokha moti, was incomplete. the film features arjun chakravorty, and is being made in hindi .
the film, however, was not technically sound and sinha was to later write that satyajit ray and raj kapoor had told him about its poor technical quality .
after missing out on prestige (maybe the film i ‘should’ see) i girded my loins and bought a ticket for the dark knight, the latest nolan opus .
khoniker atithe features nirmal kumar, ruma guha thakurta, anil chaterji, tulsi lahiri, radhamohan bhattacharjee and others. the film is based on a story of tagore .
sinha' s kalamati was the first film to deal with life in creches in coalmine areas. made in 1957, it was much ahead of its time. anil chaterji has a role in the film. raja stars debraj ray, shamit bhanja, arati bhattacharjee, mahua roy choudhury, anil chaterji, santu mukherji and others .
saira banu (born 23 august 1944), also known as saira bano, is an indian bollywood actress and the wife of the film actor dilip ...
mr. sinha, 84, who has won 19 national film awards in various categories apart from winning laurels in various international film festivals, will be given the swarna kamal, a cash prize of rs. 10 lakh and a shawl by president pratibha patil at a function, the date of which is yet to be announced .
bancharamer bagan includes a performance by manoj mitra as an old gardener. chaplinesque in its approach, the film depicts the tragedy of a small man in this big world. in khudito pasan, dilip roy gives a performance as a moghul king. this film, based on a story by gurudev rabindranath tagore, also stars soumitra chaterji .
this 1962 national award winning classic is based on the life sarat chandra pandit, also lovingly called as dadathakur. this film was made in the lifetime of the master, particularly focusing on his constructive attitude that led to the change of the society. the lead was played by the legendary chhabi biswas and it was also his last film .
tapan sinha’s works have won 19 national film awards in various categories. his films have also won laurels in international film festivals of berlin, venice, london, moscow, san francisco, locarno, cork festival in ireland kampuchea and seoul. he has also served as a member of the jury in film festivals at tashkent and san francisco among others. in 1995, he published his memoirs mone pore – a slim volume recounting assorted anecdotes, personalities and incidents in his long and distinguished innings as a filmmaker .

what is different in the film than the real events is that although antony faced the odds of the society, his wife and he lived happy lives and died natural deaths .
tapan sinha' s sabuj deeper raja was shot in the andaman and nicobar islands, and was a childrens' film. it was based on a story by sunil ganguly .
, shot by the same director (tapan sinha) four years before, is a reflexion on work exploitation, oppression and revolution. the story is set in the “tea gardens” of north - east india, in the forties, and centres around the charismatic figure of a local worker, sagina mahato (dilip kumar), who is the acknowledged leader of the exploited bunch of mountain villagers toiling away for the benefit of the british. as expected, the capitalistic manager is a ruthless heartless racist, whereas sagina, who has the guts to confront the boss, manages to make him understand that the coolies are human and cannot be simply beaten and used like cattle .
apart from winning laurels at home, the veteran filmmaker also won several awards in international film festivals like those in berlin, venice, london, moscow, san francisco and locarno .
his career faltered during the 1970s as newer actors like rajesh khanna and amitabh bachchan were beginning to gain in popularity. he appeared only in a few films like ‘gopi’ (1970), ‘sagina’ (1974), and ‘bairaag’ (1976) which failed to do well at the box office. he took a hiatus of five years following this .
an avid follower of american directors like william wyler and john ford, he entered the film world as a technician. he completed his journey there with 41 films, 19 of which won national awards and laurels from international film festivals of london, venice, moscow and berlin. his cinematic works were mostly down to earth depictions of the struggles of the common man .
the film is a hard hitting story of this teacher struggling to balance his conscience and truth. at last, against all odds he raises his courage to get these goons to justice .
unlike many directors who use grunge vacuously to be hip, the cinematography by mrinal desai helps make the squalor an integral part of the film and the life the characters are subjected to .
is based on a novelette by eminent bengali writer shirsendu mukhopadhay. this film, in sinha' s own words
is a semi - fantasy designed for all, including children .
the president of india, smt. pratibha devisingh patil, has condoled the passing away of the famous veteran film director and recipient of the dada saheb phalke award, shri tapan sinha .
tapan sinha has been active in the new century also. in 2001, he completed an ambitious project shatabdir kanya (daughters of this century) – a six - part film based on stories by tagore, sarat chandra chattopadhyaya, gourkishor ghosh, prafulla roy and dibyendu palit. the film is a strong statement depicting the neglect and abuse indian women have face through out the 20th century .
years ago, probably in the late 80s of the previous century, i was fortunate enough to see edgar reitz’s eleven part tv film heimat at the max mueller bhavan in kala ghoda, mumbai .
he starred as sooraj in ‘jugnu’ in 1947 which also had noor jehan and shashikala in important roles. the film was a big hit and is noted for being the legendary actor’s first major hit .
tapan sinha' s jatugriho (uttam and arundhuti devi) was a fascinating film on an incident drawn from everyday life. what happens when two known individuals (uttam & arundhuti) meet, quite unexpectedly, after a long gap in a train. it was one of the finest film of tapan sinha. the subject of marital discord has rarely been dealt with more finesse in indian films .
the scripts of some other films that ray had started working on some were completed have survived. atithi (made by tapan sinha) is another such film which ray had penned .
even the logo of atithi was designed. but the film never got made. some are complete scripts while many are outlines and sketches to be developed later ,
chakraborty said. similarly, the uttam kumar - supriya chowdhury starrer bilambito lay (a narendranath mitra story) would have been part of the ray oeuvre. shibram chakraborty' s semi - autobiographical bari theke paliye is also in this list. ritwik ghatak later made the film. manik bandyopadhyay' s padma nadir majhi and kamal kumar mazumdar' s antarjali yatra are part of the same list. film - maker goutam ghose later made both the films .
retelling a true story in a film is not an easy task. facts and features have to get dramatized for presentation. however that does not diminish the blaze of the true events in any way .
despite minor discrepancies, this is a monumental work, where protagonists seek their homeland in the art they love. heimat 2 ends with hermann still in a quandary, searching, and finally going back to schabbach, reminding us of the first film when paul simon leaves, passing to my joy on his way into the village glasisch karl [ kurt wagner ], my favorite character from the earlier film .
for reasons strange, i seem to have seen most of his films, from memento to the current film the dark knight, none of which seemed to hold any resonance for me. when i mention this to friends who love him, i am told the great work is his first film which i have not seen – the following. somehow, as unfair as it seems, i am sceptical .
he was again cast opposite vyjayanthimala in the drama film ‘naya daur’ in 1957. the story was set against the backdrop of industrialization in post - independence india. the movie became a huge commercial hit .
this portion of the film is touching in its portrayal of an innocent child' s unabashed fascination for adults who treat them as individuals; and the need for affection that is common to all humanity .
* the film' s numero uno number is indubitably the pathos - laden aye mere pyaare wattan, aye mere bichhde chaman. kudos to manna dey for singing the song with a wealth of feeling .
apanjan is a story of unemployed youths, starring swarup dutta and shamit bhanja, chhya devi, robi ghosh, nirmal kumar, sumita sanyal. this early film focuses on a movement similar to naxalism in later days. apon jan was remade in hindi by gulzar as mere apne. the film also features chaya devi, rabi ghosh, bhanu banerji, kalyan chaterji, partha mukherjee, nirmal kumar and others .
it was long overdue, but director tapan sinha — the man behind iconic movies like kabuliwala, jhinder bandi, haatey bajarey, khudhito pashan, atithi, louhakapat, jhinder bandi, sagina mahato, apanjan and hansuli banker upakatha — finally won the most prestigious film award in the country. sinha’s films are poignant depictions of the trials and tribulations of middle - class existence and his reputation as an uncompromising filmmaker puts him in a class of his own. along with contemporaries satyajit ray and mrinal sen, he belongs to the hallowed club of parallel filmmakers who created a new idiom for indian cinema .
this however does not mean that this is a dour film. on the contrary, it’s a delight and living proof that one can make a rollicking film within the format of the indian mainstream cinema. full of oddball characters with comic book sensibilities, delightfully outrageous sequences and marvellous over - the - top performances within parameters that make it work wonderfully and not fall over the precipice. special mention must be made of
sinha began his film career as a sound engineer in kolkata’s new theatre in 1946. in 1950, he got the opportunity to work at the pinewood studios of the uk, where he spent two years .
mr. sinha, who started his career as a sound engineer in kolkata’s new theatre in 1946, has directed well - known films such as ‘kabuliwala, ’ ‘khudito pashaan, ’ ‘atithi, ’ ‘upahar, ’ ‘haatey bazarey, ’ ‘sagina mahato, ’ ‘hansuli baker upakatha, ’ ‘adalat o ekti meye, ’ ‘ek doctor ki maut, ’ ‘bancharamer bagan’ and ‘shatabdir kanya, ’ among others .
charles dickens' s novel, a tale of two cities and the cinematic adaptation featuring ronald colman inspired sinha to get involved in film - making. tapan sinha went to london in the 1950s to learn film - making. on reaching london, he contacted cryhearsth, manager of pinewood studios. through his help, he managed to obtain his first assignment. he got to work in director charles cryton' s unit as a sound engineer. cryton, who made some british comedies like lavender hill mob etc. was then working for a film called the hunted. sinha started as a sound recording engineer and gradually shifted to directing .
, nolan’s remake of the very interesting scandinavian film with the same title directed by erik skjoldbjaerg, was just awful. while it tells the same story as the original, nolan’s approach to the film leaves nothing to the imagination. the scene at the end, in which the young female cop gives al pacino her reason for not turning him in, is a hoot. it is also a scene that defines nolan’s sensibility .
despite dealing with social problems in films like' adalat o ekti meye' and' antardhan', politics never came in the forefront in his films such as apanjan (1968), ‘sagina mahato’ (1970 and raja (1975), with the sole exception of ‘atanka’ (terror, 1986), since he believed that political issues were short - lived and so were the films based on them .
the five sinha films which are etched in my mind more than the others are – kabuliwala, jhinder bandi, jotugriho, sagina mahato and ek doctor ki maut. the bengali version of kabuliwala (1957) played by none other than the inimitable chhabi biswas had been a delight to watch. sinha was faithful to the original tagore masterpiece though he inserted a number of subplots that carried along the main narrative .
tapan sinha' s kabulliwallah was subsequently made in hindi by bimal roy and directed by heman gupta, featuring balraj sahani. oerdellin was cast as the child lead in kabulliwallah. kabulliwallah (1956) won the music award at the berlin film festival, demonstrating his sharp sensitivity. kabuliwallah (balraj sahani) who is dreaded by children turns out to be a lover of children. kabuliwallah won the silver bear at the berlin film festival .
tapan sinha' s boydurjer rahasya was a detective film. manoj mitra, bhishnu guha thakurtha, tapas pal, alpana goswami, moonmon sen and premansu bose with basant choudhury formed the cast. it was a clanger .
sinha' s louho kopat is based on the story of the bengali writer jorasandho. the film stars kamal mitra, nirmal kumar as the jailer and anil chaterji in a character role. sabuj dweeper raja is a children' s film, shot in the andaman and nicobar islands. it is based on a story by sunil ganguly. sinha' s hansuli banker upakatha is based on a story by tara shankar banerji and stars lily chakraborty .
he found his big breakthrough with mehboob khan’s ‘andaz’ in 1949. it was a love triangle which also starred raj kapoor and nargis. the movie went on to become the top grossing film ever made in india till then .
as the film progresses it just meanders, using unnecessary devices that do not add anything to enrich the narrative. the whole mms scandal, though borrowed from real life incidents, does nothing for the chanda character – it just looks like a gimmick to justify her actions. very often the film tends to go out of the way to explain and rationalize things, probably to cater to unthinking audiences and sham critics, something that no smoking – anurag’s best film to date – generally avoids. unlike no smoking, the reason dev. d has been received well by its audience is because they have the plot to hang on to and the back - stories to give them comfort .
the late heath ledger works well within the film’s structure, and is often the reason that one stays interested in the film. i suppose there will be endless debates as to whether he or jack nicholson plays the definitive joker. taken out of their individual filmic contexts, it is a difficult question to answer. however, i feel ledger’s performance adds to the dark knight whereas nicholson’s somehow takes away, derailing tim burton’s batman in more ways than one .
dadasaheb phalke award winner and noted film - maker tapan sinha died at a hospital here today after prolonged illness. eighty - four - year - old sinha was suffering from pneumonia and septicaemia, hospital sources said. he is survived by a son. his actress - wife arundhuti devi died in 1990. the veteran film - maker had been in and out of hospital over the past few years. he was admitted to the hospital in december last year .
tapan sinha' s apanjan was a beautiful story of young unemployed youths which first saw swaroop dutta and samit bhanja giving memorable performances. it was an early film of sinha, and here he has focused on a movement similar to naxalism in later days. sinha' s apanjan was remade in hindi by gulzar as mere apne. the film also featured chaya devi, rabi ghosh, bhanu banerji, kalyan chaterji, partha mukherjee, nirmal kumar and others .
here is the most exciting news from our team. we are going to start our second project soon. its going to be humongous. this will be an international project. we are going to shoot the entire film in english .
despite its formal limitations, sachiko hanai may work as a satire in this insane world where politics is practiced and reported by comic book characters. and a film with the exchange quoted below may not, perhaps, be all that dumb .
safed haathi (1977) marks sinha’s debut in making films for children. he is perhaps the only major filmmaker in india who has consistently produced entertaining yet intelligent films for a young audience. sabuj dwiper raja (1979) – an adventure film shot in the andaman islands ranks among the most popular bengali films for children. aaj ka robinhood (1987), which has been screened at several international film festivals and anokha moti (2000) also demonstrate sinha’s mastery over the genre .
as i mentioned earlier, the film is watchable, with the zap of the contemporary hollywood flick, despite some dubious cross - cutting in the first part of the climax and a rather tiresome extended second climax with the two - face character .
what i really loved about dev d. , though isolated from the body of the film, were the twilight players – messrs. sinbad phugra, ammo ‘too sweet’ and jimi ‘the quiff’. i’d pay to see them again. they were amazing .
sinha' s next two films ‘upahaar’ (1955) and ‘tonsil’ (1956) were somewhat successful, but it was ‘kabuliwallah’ (1957), his fourth film, that gave him solid footing and from there he did not have to look back .
during the 1980s and 1990s he started playing roles that were more suited to his age. he appeared in numerous films as the father or grandfather of the young protagonists. his last film appearance was in ‘qila’ in 1998 in which he played dual roles .
even a committed writer like mahashweta devi treated the subject as romance in her hazar cghuraseer maa. she used the romantic language as well as the style. as if it was a romantic ideological adventure as godard put it in her epic film la chinowas !

bengalis are the best dressers in the world and bengalis can do anything; i punctured him in an hilarious way ,
ghosh recounts with an impish gleam. the brajada tales have sold well and one has been made into a popular film .

kabuliwala
, a poignant story of friendship between a girl and an afghan dry fruit seller .
tapan sinha (bengali: ?? ?? ?? ?? ? ?), (2 october 1924 - 15 january 2009) was a well respected bengali indian film director. he was arguably the most uncompromising filmmaker outside the orbit of parallel cinema .
he used the trip to learn in totality the art of film - making. after returning, he made ankush (1954) with an elephant belonging to a zamindar as the central character, a whole new idea at the time, but it bombed at the box office. sinha' s next two films upahaar (1955) and tonsil (1956) were somewhat successful, but it was kabuliwallah (1957), his fourth film, that gave him solid footing and from there he did not have to look back .
he had strong belief in the success of individual courage and for this he faced the wrath of leftist critics. for over half of his career, film societies in kolkata viewed him with scepticism though during his later years a shift from their earlier stance was visible .

meike’s film is a bit of an odd - ball, released originally in 2003 under the title horny home tutor: teacher’s love juice. the film is about a gormless role - playing call - girl who, during a shootout, gets a bullet in her head that lodges itself in a part of her brain. overnight she becomes extremely intelligent, discussing philosophy and mathematics with academicians. thrown into the mix are korean agents, middle east arms dealers, war footage, george bush and a cloned finger of bush that can trigger off a nuclear holocaust.
