- Sanghamitra Chakraborty's biography of Soumitra Chatterjee, Soumitra Chatterjee and his World, is an absolutely marvelous glimpse into the many lives of a screen legend and the spaces, cultural, geographic and political, that shaped him. Highly recommend, available for preorder. Here's a trailer.
