A journey beyond the screens into the making of Devdas, Sujata, Bandini…Nabendu Ghosh shared a unique bonding with his “film guru”, Bimal Roy. In 1951, when the celluloid master left Kolkata to make Maa for Bombay Talkies, he took the litterateur with him forging a partnership to bring stories to life through films. Ratnottama Sengupta revisits the stories in this Centennial Tribute to Nabendu Ghosh, the writer’s art and his contribution in moulding New Indian Cinema
