"As a film maker I have been doing a deep study of the underworld and its gangsters for more than two decades primarily for the purposes of gathering subject matters for my films and to get inspired for characters from real life references..And that's how films like Satya and company happened..Then one day it occurred to me what if a guy out there studied the same gangsters not for becoming a film maker but for the purpose of becoming a gangster himself.it's that idea of mine which finally shaped itself into Satya 2.,A new age gangster will obviously be armed with the mistakes of the earlier gangsters and also with the modern day policing methods". said Ram Gopal Varma.One romantic song of Satya 2 was shot in Kashmir in June 2013. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed Satya 2 with A certificate with 3 cuts.[24] 'Satya 2' is made within the budget of Rs 15 crore.
Director Ram Gopal Verma hinted that Satya 2 will be his last film on the underworld and that now he wants to make romantic movies.

Suchitra Sen

Legendary Bengali actress Suchitra Sen passed away in Kolkata at the age of 82 on Friday.
The actress had suffered a massive heart attack after which her condition had turned very critical, doctors attending on her said.

Sen was admitted to Belle Vue Clinic on December 23 following a respiratory tract infection. Later she was treated in a private Intensive Treatment Unit for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Suchitra Sen


Led by Dr Subrata Maitra, a medical board was formed to monitor the health of its star patient around-the-clock.

Sen, who has been living the life of a recluse in a south Kolkata apartment, has starred in memorable Hindi films like 'Devdas', and 'Aandhi' and 'Saat Paake Bandha', 'Agnipariksha', 'Saptapadi' and 'Deep Jwele Jai' in Bengali.

An era ends with the legend

Suchitra Sen, the reigning queen of Bengali cinema for several decades, has finally said goodbye. The actor who passed away at the ripe age of 82 has left behind a rich legacy of golden classics.
Suchitra Sen


Sen was the first Bengali actress to be awarded at an international film festival (Best Actress award for Saat Paake Bandha in the 1963 Moscow film festival).

A recipient of Padma Shree award, Suchitra refused the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2005, preferring to stay out of public gaze..

Born in a middle class family, Suchitra would have ended up like any other housewife, had she not harbored dreams unlimited. She was one of those few actresses who entered films post marriage.
Suchitra Sen


Her industrialist husband initially invested a lot in her career and gave her all possible support, but a rift developed between the two in later years. Bengali actress Moon Moon Sen is her daughter and Riya and Raima her grand daughters.

Sen made her entry in films with Shesh Kothaay in 1952, but the film never got released. Next, she acted opposite Uttam Kumar in Sharey Chuattor, which was a super hit.

Her pair with Uttam Kumar became so successful that the two went on to become the icons for Bengali classics for more than two decades.

She received the Best Actress Award for the film Devdas (1955), which was her first Hindi movie.
Suchitra Sen


Her role in Hindi film Aandhi opposite Sanjeev Kumar is memorable as well as controversial. She portrayed the character of Indira Gandhi in the film.

Suchitra's other landmark film was Uttar Falguni (1963) with Asit Sen. Suchitra carried the film single-handedly in the dual role of a courtesan Pannabai and her daughter Suparna, a lawyer. Her performance won rave reviews.

She retired from the screen in 1978 after a career of over 25 years to live the life of a recluse.

Suchitra devoted her retirement years working for the Ramakrishna Mission.

Plot

A romantic musical, Rajjo is the journey of a Nautch girl in the most extraordinary circumstances. It tells the love story of Rajjo (Kangana Ranaut) and Chandu (Paras Arora) set against the backdrop of the dying Kothas of Mumbai that nurtured the traditional art of singing and dancing for centuries.[4]
The story’s central characters are Rajjo, a Muslim girl and Chandu, a young Brahmin boy. When Chandu helps his team win a cricket match, the team decides to celebrate the victory by visiting the Kothas of Nagpada. This is where Chandu meets Rajjo who mesmerizes him with her elegant Mujra dance and it is love at first sight for him.[5]
Chandu belongs to a family of music lovers; he is a very good harmonium player, his mother is a Bhajan singer. Rajjo is trained under Kothewali Amma; she is naughty, sweet and quite attractive. Music is the common thread between them, as is the strong attraction that draws Rajjo and Chandu together and seals their love. Simultaneously the Nagpada area goes under the clutches of re-development and all the dancers and singers are under the shadow of this potential danger. Amidst these circumstances, Rajjo and Chandu have to deal with Begum (Mahesh Manjrekar) who runs the Kotha and Hande Bhau (Prakash Raj), a corporator with powerful political connections who has his eye on Rajjo.[6]

Suchitra Sen

Rating-****/*****
Suchitra Sen (Bengali pronunciation: About this sound listen (help·info)) or Rama Dasgupta (About this sound listen (help·info)) (born 6 April 1931),[1][2] is an Indian actress[3] who acted in several Bengali films that mainly concentrated in the regions of Bengal and Bangladesh. In particular, the movies in which she paired opposite another legend in Bengali films, Uttam Kumar, became classics in the history of Bengali cinema. She now lives a life of a recluse rarely making any public appearances. When she left movies, she was slowly but steadily losing the position of leading lady of Bengali silver screen.
She is the first Bengali actress to be awarded at an international film festival (Best Actress award for Saat Paake Bandha in the 1963 Moscow film festival). She was awarded the Padma Shri in 1972 by Government of India.[4] Notably, she allegedly refused the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2005, preferring to stay out of the public eye.[5] In 2012, Sen was conferred West Bengal government`s highest award Banga Bibhushan.[6]

Personal life and education[edit]

Sen was born in Pabna in present day Pabna District of Bangladesh. Her father Karunamoy Dasgupta was the headmaster of the local school and her mother Indira Devi was a homemaker. She was their fifth child and third daughter. She had her formal education in Pabna.
She married Dibanath Sen, son of a wealthy Bengali industrialist, Adinath Sen in 1947[7] and had one daughter, Moon Moon Sen, who is a former actress.
Sen made a successful entry after marriage into Bengali films in 1952 and then a less successful transition to the Bollywood film industry. According to some unconfirmed but persistent reports in the Bengali press, her marriage was severely strained by her success in the film industry.
Career[edit]

Sen made her debut in films with Shesh Kothaay in 1952, but it was never released.[8] The following year saw her act opposite Uttam Kumar in Sharey Chuattor, a film by Nirmal Dey. It was a box-office hit and remembered for launching Uttam-Suchitra as a leading pair. They went on to become the icons for Bengali dramas for more than 20 years, becoming almost a genre to themselves.
She received a Best Actress Award for the film Devdas (1955), which was her first Hindi movie. Her patented Bengali melodramas and romances, especially with Uttam Kumar, made her the most famous Bengali actress ever. Her films ran through the 1960s and the 1970s. Her husband died, but she continued to act in films, such as the Hindi hit Aandhi (1974), where she played a politician. Aandhi was inspired by India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Sen received a Filmfare Award nomination as Best Actress, while Sanjeev Kumar, who essayed the role of her husband, won the Filmfare as Best Actor.A point to be noted, her husband,who himself was an industrialist, invested a lot in her success, but later a great deal of rift developed among them.
One of Suchitra's best known performances was in Deep Jwele Jaai (1959). She played Radha, a hospital nurse employed by a progressive psychiatrist, Pahadi Sanyal, who is expected to develop a personal relationship with male patients as part of their therapy. Sanyal diagnoses the hero, Basanta Choudhury, as having an unresolved Oedipal dilemma — the inevitable consequence for men denied a nurturing woman. He orders Radha to play the role though she is hesitant as in a similar case she had fallen in love with the patient. She finally agrees and bears up to Choudhury's violence, impersonates his mother, sings his poetic compositions and in the process falls in love again. In the end, even as she brings about his cure, she suffers a nervous breakdown. The film is full of beautiful, often partly lit, close ups of Sen which set the tone of the film and is aided by a mesmerizing performance by her. Asit Sen remade the film in Hindi as Khamoshi (1969) with Waheeda Rehman in the Suchitra Sen role.)
Suchitra's other landmark film with Asit Sen was Uttar Falguni (1963). Suchitra carries the film single-handedly in the dual role of a courtesan Pannabai and her daughter Suparna, a lawyer. In particular, she is brilliant as Pannabai, bringing much poise, grace and dignity in the role of a fallen woman determined to see her daughter grow up in a good, clean environment. Suchitra as Pannabai is able to connect directly with the viewer and make him or her feel deeply for all that she goes through the course of the film thus giving her death at the end a solid, emotional wallop. Her international success came in the year of 1963, when she won the best actress award in Moscow Film Festival for the movie Saat Paake Bandha. In fact, she is the first female to receive an international film award.
She refused Satyajit Ray's offer due to date problem; as a result Ray never made the film Devi Chaudhurani. She also refused Raj Kapoor's offer for a film under the RK banner. She retired from the screen in 1978 after a career of over 25 years to a life of quiet seclusion. She has avoided the public gaze after her retirement and has devoted her time to the Ramakrishna Mission.[1] Suchitra Sen was a contender for the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for the year 2005, provided she was ready to accept it in person. Her refusal to go to New Delhi and personally receive the award from the President of India deprived her of that award.

Casting
"Actually, there were two reasons to cast Juhi Chawla for the film. The very first thing is that it was a creative decision taken by all of us... and we thought it would be great to see two iconic stars — Madhuri and Juhi — together in the film."
—Anubhav Sinha on casting Dixit and Chawla together.
Initially, actress Tabu  was approached to play the lead, but due to lack of funds filming could not be started. Later in April 2012, Soumik Sen approached actress Madhuri Dixit for the film and narrated the story to her. Later, Dixit officially announced her part in the film through her Facebook page. Tabu was later approached again to play the second lead role of politician, which actress in turn declined. Actress Juhi Chawla was later approached to play the second lead and she eventually accepted the role. Chawla, who debuted in Bollywood through 1986 film Sultanat, will share screen with Dixit, who debuted in 1984 with Abodh, for the first time in their common career span of 27 years. Dixit and Chawla were considered as competitors back in the late 1980s and 1990s. In December 2012, actress Tannishtha Chatterjee was signed to play the member of Gulaab Gang along with two other actresses, Divya Jagdale and Priyanka Bose.
