Actress Shabnur (শাবনূর)

শাবনূর একজন বাংলাদেশী চলচ্চিত্র অভিনেত্রী।তিনি এহতেশাম পরিচালিত ‘চাঁদনী রাতে’ সিনেমার মাধ্যমে চলচ্চিত্রে আগমন করেন।[১]তিনি দীর্ঘদিন বাংলাদেশী চলচ্চিত্রে নায়িকাদের মাঝে প্রথম অবস্থানে থেকে অভিনয় করেছেন।

চলচ্চিত্রে আগমন

শাবনূরের প্রথম ছবি চলচ্চিত্র ‘চাঁদনী রাতে’র নায়ক ছিল সাব্বির।এই ছবিটি ব্যর্থ হয়।তিনি এরপর মেহেদি, অমিত হাসানের সাথেও ছবি করেন।পরে চিত্র নায়ক সালমান শাহের সাথে জুটি বেধে যে সমস্ত চলচ্চিত্রে অভিনয় করেন তার সবগুলোই ছিল ব্যবসায়িক মানদন্ডে সফল।তাকে তখন বলা হত নায়ক সালমান শাহ নির্ভর নায়িকা।একক যোগ্যতায় কোন ছবিকে টেনে নিয়ে যাওয়ার ক্ষমতা তার নেই এবং অন্য নায়কের বিপরীতে অভিনয় করেও তিনি কোন সফলতা পাবেন না।সালমান শাহ হঠাৎ মারা যাওয়াতে শাবনূর নায়ক শুন্য হয়ে পড়েন।তিনি বলেনঃ “সালমানের অকাল্মৃত্যু গোটা চলচ্চিত্র শিল্পকে যেমন আঘাত করেছিল তেমনি আমার ক্যারিয়ারও তছনছ করে দিয়েছিল।মানসিকভাবে আমিও ভেঙ্গে পড়েছিলাম।”এরপর নির্মাতারা ওমর সানী, আমিন খানের সাথে তার জুটি বাঁধার চেষ্টা করে ব্যর্থ হয়। পরে তিনি নায়ক রিয়াজ বিপরীতে অভিনয় করেও সফলতা অর্জন করেন।রিয়াজের পাশাপাশি নায়ক ফেরদৌসের সাথেও তিনি সফল হন।এছাড়াও তিনি মান্না,শাকিব খানের সাথেও অভিনয় করেন।

মূল্যায়ন

শাবনূর একজন নির্ভরযোগ্য নায়িকায় পরিণত হন তাঁর কাজের মাধ্যমে।শাবনূরের ইতিবাচক বৈশিষ্ট্য ছিল হৃদয়স্পর্শী প্রাণ প্রাচূর্য পূর্ণ হাসি।তার পায়ের যুগল ভীষণ আকর্শনীয় এবং তাঁর অভিনয় ক্ষমতা অসাধারণ।তাঁর গ্ল্যামার ও নাচের পারঙ্গমতাও তাকে অন্যদের থেকে আলাদা করে দেয়।অভিনয়ের স্মীকৃতি সরূপ তিনি বাচসাস ও দর্শক ফোরাম পুরষ্কার পেয়েছেন।

Prothom Alo Report 27/09/2009

চার মাসেরও বেশি সময় কানাডা ও অস্ট্রেলিয়া ভ্রমণ শেষে দেশে ফিরেছেন শাবনূর। জানালেন, ঈদের তিন দিন আগে দেশে এসেছেন। তবে এখনো কোনো ছবির শুটিং-ডাবিংয়ে অংশ নেননি। শিগগিরই মনতাজুর রহমান আকবরের এভাবেই ভালোবাসা হয় ছবির শুটিংয়ের মাধ্যমে আবার ক্যামেরার সামনে দাঁড়াবেন তিনি।
শাবনূর জানান, চলচ্চিত্র পরিচালনার ওপর তিন বছরের একটি কোর্স করার জন্য আগামী বছর আবারও দেশের বাইরে যাবেন। সেখান থেকে ফিরে ছবি নির্মাণের কাজে হাত দেওয়ার ইচ্ছা আছে তাঁর। এদিকে দেশে ফিরে এরই মধ্যে কয়েকটি ছবি হাতে নিয়েছেন। এগুলোতে তিনি অভিনয় করবেন।
শাবনূর বলেন, ‘ছবি নির্মাণের আরেকটি সমস্যা হলো, ভালো শিল্পীর অভাব। ১৫ বছরের অভিনয়জীবনের অভিজ্ঞতা থেকে বলতে পারি, এখন চলচ্চিত্রে ভালো অভিনয় করার মতো ছেলেমেয়ের সংখ্যা একেবারেই কম। সেদিকটাও ভাবনার মধ্যে রয়েছে। সবকিছু চূড়ান্ত করে তবেই ছবি পরিচালনার কাজ শুরু করব।’

Novelist Writer Poet Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay 1838 - 1894

Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay (Bengali: বঙ্কিমচন্দ্র চট্টোপাধ্যায় Bôngkim Chôndro Chôţţopaddhae) (27 June 1838 – 8 April 1894) was a Bengali writer, poet and journalist. He was the composer of India’s national song Vande Mataram, originally a Sanskrit stotra personifying India as a mother goddess and inspiring the activists during the Indian Freedom Movement. Bankim Chandra wrote 13 novels and several ‘serious, serio-comic, satirical, scientific and critical treaties’ in Bengali. His works were widely translated into other regional languages of India as well as in English.

Bankim Chandra was born to an orthodox Brahmin family at Kanchrapara, North 24 Parganas. He was educated at Hoogly College and Presidency College, Calcutta. He was one of the first graduates of the University of Calcutta. From 1858, until his retirement in 1891, he served as a deputy magistrate and deputy collector in the Government of British India.

Chatterjee is widely regarded as a key figure in literary renaissance of Bengal as well as India. Some of his writings, including novels, essays and commentaries, were a breakaway from traditional verse-oriented Indian writings, and provided an inspiration for authors across India.

When Bipin Chandra Pal decided to start a patriotic journal in August 1906, he named it Bande Mataram, after Chatterjee's song. Lala Lajpat Rai also published a journal of the same name.

Early life and background

Chattopadhyay was born in the village Kanthalpara in the district of Naihati,in an orthodox Bengali Brahmin family, the youngest of three brothers, to Yadav (or Jadab) Chandra Chattopadhyaya and Durgadebi. His family was orthodox, and his father, a government official who went on to become the Deputy Collector of Midnapur. One of his brothers, Sanjeeb Chandra Chatterjee, was also a novelist and his known for his famous book "Palamau".

He was educated at the Mohsin College in Hugli-Chinsura and later at the Presidency College, graduating with a degree in Arts in 1857. He was one of the first two graduates of the University of Calcutta . He later obtained a degree in Law as well, in 1869.

He was appointed as Deputy Collector, just like his father, of Jessore, Chatterjee went on to become a Deputy Magistrate, retiring from government service in 1891. His years at work were peppered with incidents that brought him into conflict with the ruling British. However, he was made a Companion, Order of the Indian Empire in 1894.

Literary career

Chatterjee, following the model of Ishwarchandra Gupta, began his literary career as a writer of verse. He soon realized, however, that his talents lay in other directions, and turned to fiction. His first attempt was a novel in Bengali submitted for a declared prize. He did not win the prize, and the novelette was never published. His first fiction to appear in print was Rajmohan's Wife. It was written in English and was probably a translation of the novelette submitted for the prize. Durgeshnondini, his first Bengali romance and the first ever novel in Bengali, was published in 1865.

Kapalkundala (1866) is Chatterjee's first major publication. The heroine of this novel, named after the mendicant woman in Bhavabhuti's Malatimadhava, is modelled partly after Kalidasa's Shakuntala and partly after Shakespeare's Miranda. However, the partial similarities are only inferential analysis by critics, and Chatterjee's heroine may be completely his original. He had chosen Dariapur in Contai Subdivision as the background of this famous novel.

His next romance, Mrinalini (1869), marks his first attempt to set his story against a larger historical context. This book marks the shift from Chatterjee's early career, in which he was strictly a writer of romances, to a later period in which he aimed to stimulate the intellect of the Bengali speaking people and bring about a cultural renaissance of Bengali literature. He started publishing a monthly literary magazine Bangodarshan in April 1892, the first edition of which was filled almost entirely with his own work. The magazine carried serialized novels, stories, humorous sketches, historical and miscellaneous essays, informative articles, religious discourses, literary criticisms and reviews. Vishabriksha (The Poison Tree, 1873) is the first novel of Chatterjee that appeared serially in Bangodarshan.

Bangodarshan went out of circulation after 4 years. It was later revived by his brother, Sanjeeb Chandra Chatterjee.

Chatterjee's next major novel was Chandrasekhar (1877), which contains two largely unrelated parallel plots. Although the scene is once shifted back to eighteenth century, the novel is not historical. His next novel was Rajani (1877), which features an autobiographical plot, with a blind girl in the title role. Autobiographical plots had been used in Wilkie Collins' "A Woman in White", and a precedent for blind girl in a central role existed in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Nydia in "The Last Days of Pompeii", though the similarities of Rajani with these publications end there. In Krishnakanter Will (Krishnakanta's Will, 1878) Chatterjee produced a complex plot. In that complexity, critics saw resemblance to Western novels. The plot is somewhat akin to that of Poison Tree.

The only novel of Chatterjee that can truly be considered historical fiction is Rajsimha (1881, rewritten and enlarged 1893). Anandamath (The Abbey of Bliss, 1882) is a political novel which depicts a Sannyasi (Hindu ascetic) army fighting the soldiers of the Muslim Nawab of Murshidabad. The book calls for the rise of Hindu nationalism to uproot the foreign Turko-Afghan Muslim rule of Bengal and put forth as a temporary alternative the East India Company till Hindus were fit for Self Rule. The novel was also the source of the song Vande Mataram (I worship the Motherland as Mother) which, set to music by Rabindranath Tagore, was taken up by many Indian nationalists, and is now the National Song of India. The novel is loosely based on the time of the Sannyasi Rebellion, however in the actual rebellion, Hindus sannyasis and Muslim fakirs both rebelled against the British East India Company. The novel first appeared in serial form in Bangadarshan.

Chatterjee's next novel, Devi Chaudhurani, was published in 1884. His final novel, Sitaram (1886), tells the story of a local Hindu lord, torn between his wife and the woman he desires but unable to attain, makes a series of blunders and takes arrogant, self-destructive decisions. Finally, he must confront his self and motivate the few loyal soldiers that stand between his estate and the Muslim Nabab's army about to take over.

Chatterjee's humorous sketches are his best known works other than his novels. Kamalakanter Daptar (From the Desk of Kamalakanta, 1875; enlarged as Kamalakanta, 1885) contains half humorous and half serious sketches. Kamalakanta is an opium-addict, similar to De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, but Chatterjee goes much beyond with his deft handling of sarcastic, political messages that Kamalakanta delivers.

Chattarjee's commentary on the Gita was published eight years after his death and contained his comments up to the 19th Verse of Chapter 4. Through this work, he attempted to reassure Hindus who were increasingly being exposed to Western ideas. He believed that there was "No serious hope of progress in India except in Hinduism-reformed,regenerated and purified". He wrote an extensive commentary on two verses in particular-2.12 and 2.13-which deal with the immortality of the soul and its reincarnation

Some critics, like Pramathnath Bishi, consider Chatterjee as the best novelist in Bangla literature. They believe that few writers in world literature have excelled in both philosophy and art as Bankim has done. They argue that in a colonised nation Bankim could not overlook politics. He was one of the first intellectuals who wrote in a British colony, accepting and rejecting the status at the same time. Bishi also rejects the division of Bankim in `Bankim the artist' and `Bankim the moralist' - for Bankim must be read as a whole. The artist in Bankim cannot be understood unless you understand him as a moralist and vice versa.

Personal life

He was married at a very young of age of eleven, he had a son from his first wife, she died in 1859. He later married Rajalakshmi Devi. They had three daughters.

Quotes

* Once Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, playing on the meaning of Bankim (Bent A Little), asked him what it was that had bent him. Chatterjee jokingly replied that it was the kick from the Englishman's shoe.
* After the Vishabriksha (The Poison Tree) was published in 1873, The Times of London observed:

“ Have you read the Poison Tree
Of Bankim Chandra Chatterjee? ”
