Satyajit Ray’s Jana Aranya actor Pradip Mukherjee passes away at age 76

Veteran Bengali actor Pradip Mukherjee passed away on Monday at 8:15 a.m. in a hospital in Kolkata. He was 76. He was transferred to a state-run hospital after his condition worsened three days ago after being taken to a private hospital for a lung infection.

In addition to his wife, Pradip Mukherjee leaves behind a son and a daughter. He had nearly 40 film appearances, including his breakout performance in Satyajit Ray’s Jana Aranya. He played Somnath, the main character, in the movie. His other publications include Mondo Meyer Upakshan (2002) by Buddhadeb Dasgupta and Rituparno Ghosh’s Hirer Angti (1992), among others. Torulatar Bhoot, his most recent release, came in 2021.

Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, expressed her sadness over Pradip Mukherjee’s passing in a statement on the news of his passing. He had contributed to the films Jana Aranya by Satyajit Ray, Utsav by Rituparno Ghosh, and Dooratwa by Buddhadeb Dasgupta. His passing left a large vacuum.

“Pradip Mukherjee had been discovered by my father in a Bengali stage production and he decided to cast him in Jana Aranya,” filmmaker Sandip Rau, Satyajit Ray’s son, told PTI. He gave a great performance. He truly wished the Ray family well. We suffered a family loss.

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.
