91-year-old Padma Shri Tarun Majumdar was a filmmaker from Bengal

On Monday, renowned Bengali director Tarun Majumdar passed away. He was 91 years old and being treated at Kolkata’s public SSKM hospital. He was supported by a ventilator.

Tarun Majumdar made his directing debut in the movie business in 1985 with Basanta Choudhury in Alor Pipasha. He had previously worked for the filmmaking collective Yatrik, which also featured Tarun Majumdar, Dilip Mukhopadhyay, and Sachin Mukherjee. In 1963, Yatrik split apart.

Balika Badhu (1976), Kuheli (1971), Shriman Prithviraj (1972), Dadar Kirti (1980), Smriti Tuku Thak (1960), Palatak (1963), and Ganadevata are some of Tarun Majumdar’s finest works (1978). He has collaborated with a number of well-known actors over the course of his career, including Uttam Kumar, Suchitra Sen, Chhabi Biswas, Soumitra Chatterjee, and Sandhya Roy, to name a few.

In addition to five Filmfare Awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021, Tarun Majumdar received the Padma Shri in 1990. In a 2015 interview regarding his works, Tarun Majumdar stated, “I have always been fascinated by human relationships and ideals. I believe that a man’s aim is to improve himself as a person. I believe I have a greater understanding of the middle-class environment and have therefore interpreted it in many ways on film.

Family Star review

The Hindustan Times’ review of the movie Family Star, starring Vijay Deverakonda and directed by Parasuram Petla, suggests that the film struggles to make a mark or entertain, with issues reminiscent of Geetha Govindam (2018). The film tests patience and fails to maintain interest as it progresses.

The review criticizes the plot of Family Star, stating that it is thin and defies logic, making it difficult to enjoy. It also suggests that the film’s portrayal of middle-class life is caricaturish, as if it was written by someone unfamiliar with the realities of such a life.
