For those Diehard Fans
"Mahanayika" as she is known, Suchitra Sen was my late mother's favourite actress. For me, her films" Dweep Jaley Jai", "Saptapadi", "Devdas" amd "Aandhi" are her best creations. The book is worth a read for those who are her fans.The author has misinformed on Director Asit Sen (see page 133). There were two Asit Sen's in the Indian film world. One was the director of "Dweep Jaley Jai" whose first Hindi film was Mamta (1966). He never worked for Bimal Roy Productions. The other Asit Sen became recognised comedian doing the role of Gopichand Jasoos in "Bees Saal Baad". He worked with Bimal Roy as his directorial assistant. It is he who directed two very unsuccessful films: "Parivar" and "Aparadhi Kaun".

School bookish essay in the garb of a biography!
The book picks up a very lively subject full of opportunities to explore the very complex personal of the legendary actor, but all it manages to provide is a long winded, stern and school bookish text. It seems the author is writing an essay or answer to some 30 marks question in her undergraduate literature/ language paper. The book is aimless and spends more time critiquing other writings which directly, indirectly or even extrapolatively relate to the subject. It offers no insight on the person or her craft. It is hardly a biography. In fact it is a reference book on what all has been written on Suchitra Sen. Highly disappointing.
