Uttam Kumar and Tapan Sinha.
Uttam Kumar was the dominating legend of Bengali silver screen and probably worked with all the leading directors of Bengali films including Satyajit Ray. Tapan Sinha used Uttam Kumar in three films Upahaar, Jhinder Bandi and Jotu Griha and in all these films his standard of excellence was exhibited.
In Jhinder Bandi, Uttam Kumar played a double role, where Shankar Narayan Singh, the king of the state of Jhind was kidnapped by his brother Tarun Kumar and his twin brother had to come all the way from Kolkata to come and rescue him. The story was the adaptation of the Hollywood film Prisoner of Zenda.
Shankar Narayan Singh was shown as harmless king who had tremendous affection for his brother. Tarun Kumar used the expertise of Soumitra Chatterji in the film to kidnap his brother and keep in him in an underground prison.
Uttam Kumar, the brother from Kolkata used the resemblance of Shankar Narayan Singh and used all his soldiers to release the actual ruler. In the process he had to pretend as king before Arundhuti Debi was scheduled to marry the ruler. At the end of the film after saving Shankar Narayn Singh, his brother returned back to Kolkata. The film was a master piece.
In 1964, Tapan Sinha, experimented with a complex marital relationship in the film Jotu Griha. Both Uttam Kumar and Arundhuti Debi did not have child and got separated due to that reason. The doctor told Arundhuti Debi that she could never bear any child in life. After being separated they met each other in a railway station. There both of them confessed that their life became miserable without the other spouse. Both of them had tremendous respect for each other.
Uttam Kumar broke the myth that was present in the minds of intellectual viewers that as he was mannerism oriented matinee-idol, he could not excel in realistic films. His performance in the films of Tapan Sinha, Ajoy Kar, Satyajit Ray, Gulzar, had shown that he was as good an actor as a romantic hero. The films should be restored and preserved.

Aishwarya Rai in 2008.
Aishwarya Rai in 2008.
Aishwarya Rai had started her journey in bollywood films in 2008 with her success in the last few years. Her films Dhoom -2, opposite Hrithik Roshan was extremely successful and although the film Umrao Jaan did not do that well in box office, her performance in the film was well appreciated by the cinematic audience.
In 2008, her first film Jodha Akbar, opposite Hrithik Roshan was very successful. She depicted the royal style of living of Rajasthani women in the historical film. She exhibited both her beauty and her pardanashin image. There was controversy relating to the story that was depicted in the Jodha Akbar and also the relationship of Jodha with Akbar. Hrithik Roshan was sublime in his performance and Aishwarya Rai complemented him with her majestic performance.
Her acting potentiality was again tested in the action film Sarkar Raj. Previously the film Sarkar was well appreciated by the Indian audience and in Sarkar Raj, Big B carried forward the powerful performance that he showed in Sarkar.
Aishwarya Rai played a distinct role in reaching the project of building power plants in the remote districts of Maharashtra and in the process had shown her capability of facing obstacles. She in fact helped both Abhishek Bacchan and Amitabh Bacchan in carrying forward their projects in the film. There was a twist to the story in the film as the enemies and rivals of Big B created harm and he took revenge. But Aisharya Rai showed her sheer brilliance in the film.
Aishwarya Rai showed the audience that she was comfortable opposite Big B and Abhishek Bacchan when she played an item number titled “kajra re”, in the film Bunty Aur Babli at a time when she did not marry Abhishek Bacchan.
With her powerful beginning in bollywood films in 2008, the viewers expect that Aishwarya Rai will complement her beauty with matured performance in different roles in future.
