One of my favorite #SoumitraChatterjee films: Saat Pake Baandha (1963) opposite Suchitra Sen at her powerhouse best. bethlovesbollywood.com/2014/01/saat-p… + 
Teen Bhubaner Pare (bethlovesbollywood.com/2014/09/teen-b…)and Pratham Kadam Phool (bethlovesbollywood.com/2014/07/hoppin…) w Tanuja join it to create a trio of gutting portraits of young faltering marriages. #SoumitraChatterjee
[This is just a thread of his films that I love and have also written about. It is not a complete list of my favorite of his films.] DEVI. This is Sharmila’s film and his performance complements hers perfectly. bethlovesbollywood.com/2012/10/devi.h…
Barnali, which is romantic, quiet, and sweet - and a bonfire of his particular kind of broody, brainy, principled smoldering, to which I am highly susceptible. #SoumitraChatterjee
The swings of hope and desperation of Akash Kusum, another perfect performance. bethlovesbollywood.com/2014/05/akash-…

The story of Baksha Badal is frustrating at times, but Soumitra’s Many Light Comedy Moods (and disguises) are A+. bethlovesbollywood.com/2013/01/mini-r… (this link also contains brief thoughts on Abhijan and Monihar) #SoumitraChatterjee
Khudito Pashan sees him as a dreamy young civil servant a little too eager to fall in love with a ghost. bethlovesbollywood.com/2012/12/khudit…
Kapurush is another wonderful, gutting depiction of love unfinished. bethlovesbollywood.com/2012/08/kaparu…
And I cannot end without mentioning Charulata. It is perfect and I love it with all my heart. But every time I try to write about it, that windstorm bursts in and scatters all my thoughts. #SoumitraChatterjee
