Date of Broadcast - 2nd May, 2025

What is the job of an actor? What is the purpose of art? Listen to these complex answers unfolding in front of your ears through the typical, simple, magical storytelling of Satyajit Ray. What happens when an yesteryear theatre artist suddenly finds himself in the middle of an important film shoot? On Satyajit Ray's birthday, delve into this humorous yet deeply philosophical tale of Patalbabu in Mirchi Bangla's tribute 'Patalbabu Filmstar.'

একজন শিল্পীর কাজ কী? শিল্পেরই বা কাজ কী? চরিত্রের কি ছোট বড় বলে আদৌ কিছু হয়? ফ্রাইডে ক্ল্যাসিকসে আজকের গল্প 'পটলবাবু ফিল্মস্টার'-এ এইসব দুরূহ প্রশ্নেরই উত্তর দিয়েছেন গল্পের লেখক সত্যজিৎ রায়। জীবনের জাঁতাকলে পড়ে বহুদিন হল থিয়েটার ছেড়েছেন পটলবাবু। হঠাৎ তাঁর কাছে অভাবনীয়ভাবে ফিল্মে কাজ করার প্রস্তাব আসে। কী হয় তারপর? সত্যজিৎ রায়ের জন্মদিনে মির্চি বাংলার শ্রদ্ধার্ঘ্য 'পটলবাবু ফিল্মস্টার।'
