Among Ray films, I think Samapti and Kapurush are the best: Kamaleswar Mukherjee

From ‘Fight, Koni fight,’ in Koni to ‘

Bandar Bacha

,’ in Jhinder Bandi to his dance moves with Ke Tumi Nandini in Teen Bhubaner pare and innumerous other magic moments created by Soumitra Chatterjee -- it is evidently a difficult task to pick the best. We asked the contemporary directors to find out their favourite moments from Soumitra’s oeuvre. Here is what Kamaleswar Mukherjee told us, "Udayan Pandit in

Hirak Rajar Deshe

and Sandeep in Ghare Baire are two of his iconic performances. Among Ray films, I think Samapti and

Kapurush

are the best. Besides, he’s outstanding in Mrinal Sen's Akash Kusum and Mohaprithibi. I personally like Swaralipi, Atanka, Ekti Jibon and of course, Koni. On stage, I liked Tiktiki the best."
