SHATABARSHE JANA AJANA BANGLA CHALLACHHITRER ITIHAS by Mousam Majumdar [Hardcover]

Unfortunately, the number of books published on Bengali cinema is not even one-third of those on the broader history of Indian cinema. While a handful of books focus on actors and actresses, comprehensive, informative works on Bengali cinema compiled in a single volume are rare. In this book, the authors have made an effort to document significant events from the silent era to the present, along with well-known, lesser-known, and obscure figures in Bengali cinema—such as actors, actresses, singers, directors, producers, and cinematographers—providing both familiar and hidden facts.

Despite the limitations in sourcing all the information, “Shatabarshe Bangla Chalachchitrer Itihas” (The History of 100 Years of Bengali Cinema) will likely appeal to film enthusiasts.
