KNOWING THE EXTREMELY TALENTED ACTOR: SOURAV CHAKRABORTY

I had known him for only few days. Even then I can say that he is a wonderful person. I still remember our first meet. It was for my next film project that I had called him and others. As he entered the CAFÉ, I saw an ordinary man walking through the door. But within 15mins he opened up and spoke on different issues and information he shared mostly meant to inspire the new director of the town i.e., Me.

I decided on the spot to watch his serials out of curiosity. He was popularly known as funny man because of his role of Raja in RAJA GAJA – The Bengali Serial. But his role in TUMI ROBE NIROBE is poles apart. This is almost seven years since his performance in the previous serial. I realized that he had evolved tremendously as an actor. Kolkata could witness a new talent emerging each day.

The role he portrays in TUMI ROBE NIROBE is of a shrewd extrovert Uncle, whose prime intention is to harm the family and rip benefit out of it. And Wow, it’s just breathtaking how he portrays the character.

I was so impressed that I made a survey on the roles he played in between these years.  That very moment SHESH THEKE SHURU- the Bengali serial caught my attention. Here also he was portraying a negative shaded character of an Uncle. But this character was more of a worthless, spineless parasite. An absolutely nervous guy yet who could go any far for the sake of his own family.

Both the characters are sharply different with one common factor. He was the Villain. The comparison made me think how easily he melts into a character. These were similar to a point yet sharply different in the approach. He also has this extraordinary quality of facial expression as contrast to physical acting, which could unfold millions of shades at one go.  Eg.: He was funny and happy with the family members a minute ago & when he turns to the camera, we see fireballs in  his eyes which could speak without any words.


I would rate the actor 4.5 in 5 rating. He is just too good. One must watch and encourage his work. Let he become a shining star in the world of entertainment.

Actor Rajiv Bose & his Rocking 10 Years in Bengali Television & Film Industry

This is absolutely exciting news to share for all his fans and followers. I have jumble of memories in this long phase of our friendship. And the one which goes without a miss is our first meet. It was long 11 years back while I was shooting for a TVC, I had spotted him and the coordinator introduced me to him. First thing he said, 'do show me how to enact'. But all through himself kept on improvising and asking me whether he should incorporate that in his performance.  He maintained that even today. So n ow that I am going ahead in making on my first feature film, I cannot think of anyone else but him.  Given a choice I will always choose him time and again over other most popular faces being the most articulated artist of our time. If I tell him this he will definitely laugh out loud with his boyish charm even today. He had always questioned me- why he is the only choice for a role. He keeps on asking questions till he is convinced that yes he is right fit f...

                                                                  RAJIV BOSE: His acting & works:- If blogging is about expressing your true feelings to the greater audience, then here I go bit by bit unfolding the true nature of a real Hero. Sometimes dozens of awards don't just give you little pleasure than a testimonial from an admirer. Here goes my perspective of the artist, finest in his time. Yes he is an Actor. Indeed a very good actor. But what makes him special is his absolute honesty, dedication and understanding of the character’s need. He doesn’t look into the role from his perspective but makes an analysis of the entire sequence or the story. I have seen him grow from his first serial….after which I started calling him Mega Star. He never stopped from evolving. But as he started making ...
