Media and Soumitra Chattopadhyaya



After the receipt of Dada Saheb Phalke Award,Soumitra Chatterjee is getting so many interviews by press and other media but a few months back he faced serious criticism in the form of being left/non left.He was not debated on the issue of his works eg,drama,cinema,poems,recitations etc.Now -a-days,those who criticised him severely are silent and are being jealous.On the other hand,there is emerging competition among the media how much and to what extent they could cover on Soumitra Chatterjee showing list of cinemas,list of poems, dramas, his directions,his manners,his popularity,his opinions so and so on.Some become flatterers.So,I wish to say about the role of media and its long term social responsibility..Conflicts had already been started and it would be more acute.If the media do not confess their social responsibilities,people may reject them.Covering Soumitra Chatterjee is proved so.
