I have no hesitation in admitting the fact that we were rich of comedy actors and they played important parts of Bengali films.Or in other words they were essential part. So far I remember almost in every Bengali film in the script there were sufficient provisions of acting so that one or two comedian Artists could be taken.
There were a good number of specialist comedian Artists namely Tulsi Chakraborty , Nabadwip Haldar,Nripati chattererjee, Bhanu Banerjee , chinmoyRoy , Jahar Ray , Rabi Ghosh,Anup kumar and Santosh Dutta etc. Out of the said Artists accept Chinmoy Roy all have left us.
I indeed believe they were all gems and Bengali film industry was enough fortunate to have a good number of comedians within a short gap.
It will be a gross injustice if I don't mention separately the names of Santosh Dutta and Bibhu Bhattacharya who were specialists for the characters of Jatayu as framed by Satyajit Ray.
Almost In all Bengali films one or two such Actors were casted . We still enjoy one Bengali film "Share Chuattor" which was a complete comedy film where all comedians acted and the acting of Tulsi Chakraborty is unforgettable.His another film "Parash Pathar" directed by Satyajit Ray where he performed another historic acting.
Bhanu Banerjee acted in many Bengali films with reputation.Nabadwip Haldar was famous for his nasal voice.To me Rabi Ghosh will be remembered for "Galpa haleo satty" . Anupkumar is famous for "Dadar kirti" .
The magnificent contributions made by the above personalities will be remembered for ever.
