In Uttam Kumar’s world of lights and fame,

A film was set, where romance was the game.

Directed by Ajay, a story to unfold,

With Suchitra Sen, their tale would be told.

The year was ’57, in Kolkata’s embrace,

A time when the city had a different face.

The studio in Tollygunge, a place to create,

Where movies took form, dreams did resonate.

The government bus, route number twenty-seven,

Even that had to wait, no shortcuts to heaven.

Technicians preferred the evening’s calm grace,

To finish their work in that sacred space.

But before they could depart, as daylight waned,

Uttam Kumar’s words, a young boy retained.

He beckoned the lad, whispered something wise,

About a necklace lost beneath starry skies.

“Fetch the necklace,” he said with a smile,

To a child on a motorbike, travel that extra mile.

“Bring it here before we’re done for the day,

And in this romantic scene, the necklace will play.”

The boy set off, a mission in mind,

To find that necklace, one of a kind.

Yet, could he retrieve it, the mystery unknown,

From a place called Shoshan? To find it alone.

That evening, the crew gathered around,

To shoot a scene where love would resound.

But the necklace, missing, became their dread,

It was lost in a place of the dearly departed.

Uttam Kumar smiled, his eyes twinkled bright,

“I have a plan to make everything right.

The missing necklace, I’ll reveal its grace,

In a famous song, ‘Tumi Je Amar,’ embrace.”

Everyone rejoiced, as the scene was set,

With Uttam and Suchitra, a love story to get.

A romantic song that would forever define,

The magic of cinema, a love so divine.

In that moment, the lost necklace found its place,

As Uttam sang the song with Suchitra’s grace.

A symbol of love, in the moonlight’s gleam,

A necklace lost, yet found in a dream.
