A deeper understanding of Bimal Roy

Mahashweta Debi

I am proud to learn that the Government of India has issued a postage stamp in honor of Bimal Roy. The west Bengal Govt should organize a Bimal Roy festival. Young viewers must get a chance to watch his films. What a pity that Kolkata, the ‘culture nagari” does not pay proper homage to a Bimal Roy, a Salil Chowdhuri and other stalwarts. I wish the Government would listen to me – but will they?

Amitabh Bachchan

Amongst the many creative regrets I have is the missed opportunity of not working with one of India’s finest directors , Bimal Roy. His selection of stories addressed complex socio economic issues confronting Indian society.

Dr. Vyjanthimala Bali

Working with Bimalda for me was a dual joy. He first cast me in Devdas and reaffirmed his faith in me with the author backed part in Madhumati. A film that is truly extraordinary in terms of performances, music, cinematography, art direction.

Novelist Shashi Deshpande

One of the earliest films I saw, and remember with great pleasure, is Parineeta. With a very young and charming Meena Kumari, a soigné Ashok Kumar, a love story subtly told through glances and unspoken words, everything understated, subtle, it was magical.

Roy's choice of stories illustrates his deep compassion for and understanding of the plights of the underdog
