Uttam Kumar, the Positive Soul,
A tale of days in celluloid roll.
Shooting for “Harano Sur” did unfold,
Ajay Kar directing, a story to be told.
Suchitra Sen and Uttam Kumar, stars so bright,
In lead roles, their talents taking flight.
1977, Calcutta’s bustling streets,
A cityscape where time and life meets.
Studio Para, an elderly village’s charm,
Where creativity weaves its artistic arm.
One government bus, a lone traveler’s ride,
Sunset brought its end, by evening’s side.
Technicians toiled, preferred the twilight’s grace,
Finishing their work at evening’s embrace.
Else they faced the toil of the road,
Homeward bound, a journey bestowed.
An important scene, a musical delight,
Uttam-Suchitra’s chemistry taking flight.
Director’s aide, a task to bestow,
Jasmine garlands, night’s fragrant glow.
Garlands delayed, but not the despair,
Arrangement made, with utmost care.
A borrowed motorbike, the need of the hour,
A young man’s assistance, a willing power.
Words whispered softly, a secret to share,
In hushed tones, a message rare.
Garlands arrive, Gita Dutt’s sweet voice, “Tumi Je Amar,”
a song of love’s choice.
The shot captured hearts, emotions unfurled,
A scene of romance, in a cinematic world.
The next day, Uttam Kumar confides,
Garlands on a corpse’s neck abides.
To the boy, the truth was revealed,
In the midst of life, a mystery concealed.
“Retrieve the garlands,” Uttam’s command,
A task entrusted, a journey so grand.
The crematorium, a place to explore,
Where life and death forever pour.
Garlands sought, a sacred quest,
From the neck of the departed’s rest.
Suchitra’s unawareness, a twist of fate,
A tale of destiny, scripted by a higher state.
Ajay Kar’s eyes, a teardrop’s dance,
A smile born of circumstance.
“Essential is the shot,” he mused,
In life’s tapestry, a moment fused.
Uttam Kumar, a positive thinker’s lore,
In celluloid memories, forevermore.
