See more See More Pradosh Chandra Mitra (Mitter), a private investigator, is the main character in a series of detectives written by Satyajit Ray. Better known by his nickname Feluda, Pradosh Chandra Mitra is a Bengali detective who unravels mysteries using his shrewd intellect. Feluda is described as a tall and athletic person who is well versed in martial arts and can handle firearms with ease. But, he rarely uses these skills, preferring to solve crimes with his analytical skills, supported by his sharp surveillance powers. Feluda is the son of a professor who taught mathematics and Sanskrit. He, too, begins his career in the teaching profession before he decides to use his skills to solve crimes. His teaching experience leaves its mark on him as he enjoys lecturing even at home. Feluda has a loyal friend in his young cousin Tapesh Ranjan Mitre, who is commonly called Topshe. Topshe is the perfect foil for Feluda, similar to Watson's character in the TV series Sherlock Holmes. He diligently records all of Feluda's exploits, as does Watson. Another interesting character is Lalmohan Ganguly, who is a close friend of Feluda. He writes crime fiction under the pseudonym Jatay. He is a comic figure in the band, providing easy relief in history. Feluda made his debut in 1965 in the Bengali children's magazine Sandesh. His first adventure was called Feluda Goondagiri.

He was also an author of Bangla science fiction and thrillers. <b>Life</b> He was born in Varanasi, India, though his ancestors lived at Rajpur, South 24 Parganas, West Bengal. His father was an employee of the Indian Railways and because of that; he had the opportunity of travelling to many places in India. He spent his childhood in Uttar Pradesh and his later life in Kolkata & Dhaka. He was a student of South Suburban School (Main) and later at the Scottish Church College in Kolkata.

  • The Humanism of Satyajit Ray, His Last Will and Testament Shantanu Ray Chaudhuri
    AGANTUK – The Humanism of Satyajit Ray, His Last Will And Testament Shantanu Ray Chaudhuri It’s impossible to record the transition in the socio-political and cultural landscape of India in general and Bengal in particular without taking into account the contribution of Satyajit Ray. As author Peter Rainer says, ‘In Ray’s films the old and the new are inextricably joined. This is the great theme of all his movies: the way the past in India forever bleeds through the present.’ Today, Indian cinema, particularly Bollywood, has found a global market. But it may be useful to remember that if anyone can be credited with putting Indian cinema on the world map, it is Satyajit Ray. He pioneered a whole new sensibility about films and filmmaking that compelled the world to reshape its perception of Indian cinema. ‘What we need,’ he wrote in 1947, before he ever directed a film, ‘is a style, an idiom, a part of the iconography of cinema which would be uniquely and recognizably Indian.’ This Still from the documentary, The Music of Satyajit Ray he achieved, and yet, like all great artists, his films went Watch film here- https://bit.ly/3u8orOD beyond the frontiers of countries and cultures. His contribution to the cultural scene in India is limited not just to his work as a director. He was the Renaissance man of independent India. As a film-maker he handled almost all the departments on his own – he wrote the screenplay and dialogues for his film, he composed his own music, designed the promotional material for his films, designed his own posters, went on to handle the cinematography and editing, was actively involved in the costumes (literally sketching each and every costume in a film).

  • Satyajit Ray's the Adventures of Feluda
    SATYAJIT RAY’S THE ADVENTURES OF FELUDA SATYAJIT RAY: AN INTRODUCTION SATYAJIT RAY, (BORN MAY 2, 1921, CALCUTTA, INDIA—DIED APRIL 23, 1992, CALCUTTA), BENGALI MOTION-PICTURE DIRECTOR, WRITER, AND ILLUSTRATOR WHO BROUGHT THE INDIAN CINEMA TO WORLD RECOGNITION WITH PATHER PANCHALI (1955; THE SONG OF THE ROAD) AND ITS TWO SEQUELS, KNOWN AS THE APU TRILOGY. AS A DIRECTOR RAY WAS NOTED FOR HIS HUMANISM, HIS VERSATILITY, AND HIS DETAILED CONTROL OVER HIS FILMS AND THEIR MUSIC. HE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMMAKERS OF THE 20TH CENTURY. In 1940 his mother persuaded him to attend art school at Santiniketan, Rabindranath Tagore’s rural university northwest of Calcutta. There Ray, whose interests had been exclusively urban and Western-oriented, was exposed to Indian and other Eastern art and gained a deeper appreciation of both Eastern and Western culture, a harmonious combination that is evident in his films. Returning to Calcutta, Ray in 1943 got a job in a British-owned advertising agency, became its art director within a few years, and also worked for a publishing house as a commercial illustrator, becoming a leading Indian typographer and book-jacket designer. Among the books he illustrated (1944) was the novel Pather Panchali by Bibhuti Bhushan Banarjee, the cinematic possibilities of which began to intrigue him. (W. Andrew Robinson) The film took two-and-a-half years to complete, with the crew, most of whom lacked any experience whatsoever in motion pictures, working on an unpaid basis. Pather Panchali was completed in 1955 and turned out to be both a commercial and a tremendous critical success, first in Bengal and then in the West following a major award at the 1956 Cannes International Film Festival.

Painters, sculptors, printmakers, teachers, they have made a name for themselves, but in the absence of their work being shown nationally—rather than regionally, as has been the norm—many have remained outside mainstream discourse. At DAG, it has been our effort to ensure their rediscovery and recognition, something we continue to do with our Silver Series, fixed-price online sales. The outstanding success of the first two editions is an indicator that art-lovers also have an appreciation for lesser-known names, as well as those whose works do not appear frequently in the market. Our endeavour with every edition will be to continue to surprise you with the mix of artists and the quality of their work. I hope the additions in this edition will bring you joy. If you miss any favourites, I assure you that you will find them in subsequent editions.

However, there is a crucial difference between the two. The Feluda stories were written for teenagers; whereas Saradindu Bandopadhyay wrote for adults. The mysteries that confront Byomkesh quite often hinge around lust, adultery, promiscuity, even incest. This paper analyses the annals of Byomkesh in the context of the works of the international masters of mature detective fiction, such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Raymond Chandler.
