Anirban Mitra is a photographer turned film-maker with an award-winning docu-feature on Nemai Ghosh and Satyajit Ray - who have left a huge influence on his creative outlook and artistry. However, he remains the most popularonscreen Feluda, although several leading actors have portrayed the character after him. World cinema lost this stellar actor last month.
Ray’s Bengali gentleman detective, private investigator Prodosh C Mitter, found the perfect screen incarnation in Soumitra Chatterjee. Nearly every scene and dialogue, not to say the characters, has become legendary. Even after nearly five decades, it continues to be a celebrated and loved film, especially for Bengalis across the globe. Sunday marks the release anniversary of Ray’s celluloid cult-classic. On the eve of “Sonar-Kella’s” 46th anniversary 27th December, TOI “investigates” the story in the footsteps of Ray’s detective. KOLKATA: Imagine how it would have been had the octogenarian Soumitra Chatterjee played Feluda, the world-famous sleuth, back in Jaisalmer for a “Sonar-Kella” nostalgia? Well, that was precisely the concept of a docu-drama that was conceived by photographer, film-maker Anirban Mitra.
