On 7 January, a significant date in Indian history, we pay tribute to the iconic filmmaker Bimal Chandra Roy. Born on 12 July 1909 in the village of Supur in East Bengal (now Bangladesh), Roy was a visionary director known for his powerful storytelling and deep social consciousness. He left an indelible mark on Indian cinema with classics such as 'Sujata', 'Do Bigha Zameen', 'Devdas', and 'Bandini'. Sadly, the cinematic world lost this legendary figure on 7 January 1966. His legacy, however, continues to inspire filmmakers and audiences alike.
