Jamalaye Jibonto Bhanu is a 2024 Indian Bengali-language comedy drama film directed by Krishnendu Chatterjee and produced by Suman Kumar Das under the banner of Burima Chitram. The film stars Saswata Chatterjee in the title role. It was released theatrically on 15 November 2024.
The project was announced in 2022 on the occasion of legendary actor Bhanu Bandopadhyay's 101st birth anniversary, inspired by the 1958 film Jamalaye Jibanta Manush.[1][2] After portraying Ritwik Ghatak in Meghe Dhaka Tara and Uttam Kumar in Ochena Uttam, Saswata Chatterjee took on the role of Bhanu Bandopadhyay. Makeup artist Somnath Kundu transformed him into the late comedian, and composer Raja Narayan Deb provided the score.[3]
A sequence from the 1953 film Saade Chuyattar was featured, with Darshana Banik portraying Suchitra Sen.[4]
Renowned scientist Samyamoy Banerjee invented a device in his home laboratory capable of transporting people into their past. He announced his discovery at a morning press conference. That afternoon, he set out to demonstrate it before the governor, but the roads proved chaotic.
