Superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee recalls how captivated he was as a child while watching Ray's children's films.
"The signature tune, theme music of Satyajit Ray's films, you can also trace in Babu's (Ray son Sandip) works," Prosenjit told PTI after watching Chaar here.
"Yes, the typical theme music is there which strings all the four stories together," the Mishawr Rawhosyo actor said.
But the two directors, Manikjethu (Satyajit) and Babu have different styles. From Patrherpanchali, to Jalsaghar to Goopey Gyne Bagha Byne to Sonar Kella, all his films have that unmistakable imprint of a genius, and his Bengaliness," Prosenjit said.
"Babu is another director, having followed his own film craft and narrative which the audience can relate to. But one thing is the same. He has retained the same Bengaliness. Seeing Parasuram's, Saradindu's short story characters foster that nostalgia," Prosenjit said.
Chaar, having famous stories like Poriksha reinvoking the 40s era, Bateswar and Kaagtarua, had an enviable cast of Koel Mallick, Saswata Chatterjee, Abir Chatterjee and Paran Bandyopadhyay. It was produced by Shri Venkatesh Films.
