   ABOUT RAJA SEN

                Among the film-makers of Bengal, RAJA SEN perhaps is, the most committed and versatile. he is a humanist, who firmly believes in " portraying the victory of mankind after a course of conflicts with surroundings". The realistic sense of his film making brought him three National Awards including other prestigious laurels. In 1993 his documentary SUCHITRA MITRA received the National Award for best film in the Art and Culture section. In 1995, his debut feature film Damu was awarded Best Children's Film and his next film ATMIYO SWAJAN received the award for Best Family Film in 1999. In fact recognition and laurels began with SUBARNALATA a teleserial in entertainment arena. ADARSHA HINDU HOTEL and a host of others followed, all topping the popularity charts and making Sen a household name in Bengal. RAJA SEN has graciously placed forward and meticulously documented the real life paradigm of the living legends of Bengal's world of Art and Culture - Suchitra Mitra, Tapan Sinha, Sombhu Mitra, Subhas Mukhopadhyay.
