In Kolkata’s heart, Ahiritola’s birth,

A legend emerged, touching heaven and earth,

Uttam Kumar, his name etched in gold,

A tale of brilliance, on cinema’s fold.

From actor to producer, director to more,

A multi-faceted gem, his talents did soar,

With pen and with song, he weaved tales anew,

Brought characters to life, emotions he drew.

Mahanayak they hailed, a title so grand,

Bengali cinema’s heart, he did command,

On history’s stage, he left an indelible mark,

Uttam Kumar’s legacy, a radiant spark.

With Suchitra Sen, his chemistry did blaze,

Supriya Devi’s grace, in his movies, we gaze,

Sabitri Chatterjee, a muse by his side,

In celluloid symphonies, their talents collide.

Five National Awards, his triumph did shine,

1968’s honor, a moment divine,

Anthony Firingee, Chiriyakhana’s grace,

In the hall of fame, his name found its place.

Nayak, a masterpiece by Ray’s guiding hand,

Chowringhee’s allure, in Pinaki’s command,

Saptapadi’s vows, a love story pure,

Uttam Kumar’s presence, forever endure.

Autobiography penned, his journey unveiled,

Aamar Aami’s essence, his life detailed,

Grihadaha’s mysteries, Antony’s poetic fire,

Agnishwar’s passion, a blazing desire.

Nishi Padma’s bloom, in Arabinda’s embrace,

Stree’s enigma, Salil Dutta did trace,

Sanyasi Raja’s throne, Piyush Bose led,

In each silver frame, Uttam Kumar spread.

Though years have passed, and time has flown,

Uttam Kumar’s brilliance forever shown,

Bengali cinema’s heart, Mahanayak’s reign,

In every heart’s theater, he’ll forever remain.
