Shotoborshe Uttam | In Conversation w/ Nabomita Chatterjee | Make Calcutta Relevant Again

For generations, Uttam Kumar has existed in the Bengali imagination as the Mahanayak — an actor, a star, and an enduring symbol of Bengal. But what does he mean to the granddaughter who grew up with his legacy? As Uttam Kumar turns 100, MCRA speaks to actor Nabomita Chatterjee about the man behind the legend — the memories passed down through her family, the stories that shaped her understanding of him, and the parts of his life and work that continue to resonate today. From his early struggles and extraordinary versatility to his love for Calcutta, his work beyond the screen, and the question of why Bengal still hasn't let him go — this is a conversation about remembering Uttam Kumar not simply as an icon, but as a person whose presence continues to be felt, decades after his passing. 100 years of Uttam Kumar. And a legacy that still lives on. #MCRA #UttamKumar #Mahanayak #Calcutta
