Potol Babu Film star
Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Ray wrote this story Patol Babu, Film Star. Patol Babu, a 52-year-old man who got an offer to play a very short role as a pedestrian in a film. In his scene film superstar, Chanchal Kumar was to run into him while rushing to his office.
But when he reached the place of the shooting scene, he was disappointed to know about the shortness of his scene.
His dialogue was only to say the word ‘Oh!
The story ‘Patol Babu, Film star’ depicts the dreams and aspirations of small time actors and the apathy of film people for whom making films is a business.
The story brings us to the realization that personal satisfaction is more important than financial rewards.
Patol Babu comes to understand that personal satisfaction could not be measured and weighed by money. He acted in the film out of passion he felt toward the job more than because of the money he would make from the job.
The writer, Satyajit Ray has highlighted the idea that one does a job because he is interested in it rather than getting rewarded for it.
The story appeals as much to our intellect as it does to our heart, just like Satyajit Ray’s films did.
