Soumitra Chatterjee is an iconic actor from India, known among other things for his frequent collaborations with the great Oscar winning Bengali film director Satyajit Ray.
Soumitra's film debut came in 1959 in Satyajit Ray's "The World of Apu" which is one of the top 100 movies of all times.
As noted on the official website for Satyajit Ray, "At that time, Soumitra Chatterjee was a radio announcer and had only played a small role in a Bengali stage production." Soumitra would eventually collaborate with Ray on fourteen films. His centrality to Ray's work is akin to other key collaborations in the history of cinema - Mifune & Kurosawa, Mastroianni & Fellini, De Niro & Scorsese, Dicaprio & Scorsese, Max von Sydow and Ingmar Bergman, Jerzy Stuhr and Kieslowski . He also worked with Sharmila Tagore in a number of Ray films.
A living legend on his own terms, Soumitra has received the 'Officier des Arts et Metiers', the highest award for arts given by the French government, and a lifetime achievement award from Italy. He turned down the honorary Padma Shri award from the Indian government in the seventies; more recently, in 2004, he accepted the prestigious Padma Bhushan award from the President of India. He has been the subject of a full-length documentary named Gaach by French director Catherine Berge.
In a gesture of protest against the National Film Awards committee's bias in awarding popular and mainstream cinema, he turned down the 2001 special jury award for best actor. However, on 9 June 2008, he was selected for the 2007 National Film Award for Best Actor by the Government of India.
