TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Ray once called Charulata his favorite of his own films.

Manmatha Dutta (full name: Manmatha Nath Dutt Shastri) (1855-1912) was a Bengali writer, a noted scholar of Sanskrit and Pali. He has been described as India's most prolific translator of Hindu epics and scriptures.

Bankim-Babu (full name: Bankim Chandra Chatterjee) (1838-1894) was a popular Bengali writer, poet and journalist.

Raja Ram Mohan Roy (also known as Rammohan Roy) (1772 - 1833) was the founder of the Brahmo Sabha movement in 1828. This led to the Brahmo Samaj, an influential Bengali socio-religious reform movement. For his many and varied activities and his contributions to Indian (Bengali) society, Raja Ram Mohan Roy is regarded as one of the most significant figures in the Bengali renaissance of the early 19th century.

Is the inspiration for the 2005 film 'Forty Shades Of Blue' directed by Ira Sachs.

Popular Dialogues

"Amal: All done with studies, exams, professors, cutting classes. Charulata: What's left? Foolishness and mischief? Amal: Poetry. Rhythm. You know, I was thinking. Charulata: What? Amal: All of life is like a rhythm. Birth, death. Day - night. Happiness - sorrow. Meeting - parting. Like the waves on the ocean, now rising - now falling. One complements the other."

"Bhupati Dutta: How do we go on living? Trust, faith - are these just empty words? Is there no honesty? Is it all just a sham and lies?"
