I become nostalgic while discussing the theatres of north Calcutta means Shyam bazar .
This theatre para was famous for its glorious tradition for theatre. The three main halls namely Biswarupa , Star and Rangmahal were the witness of a glorious history.A large number of star actors and actresses used to act here regularly in various famous theatres.
The theatres were mainly religious,historic and social. Theatre personalities like Girish Ghosh,Dani Babu, Ardhendu Sekhar Mustafi, Amardndra nath Datta, Nati Binodini , Nirmalendu Lahiri, Sisir Bhadhuri , Ahindra Chowdhury and Mahendra Gupta etc were the regular actors and actresses.
Apart from this Uttam Kumar, Chabi Biswas,Pahari Sanyal, Bhanu Banerjees ,Jahar Roy, Anup Kumar, Tarun Kumar and kali Banerjee also acted here.These theatres were highly popular. The halls used to remain full always. There were huge demands for tickets and the areas used to be always crowded.
It is unbelievable that such a popular cultural area has been totally abolished.A traditional and glorious work has been collapsed .
The reasons must be looked into . As a result of closing of the theatres many persons have become unemployed and the scope of direct and indirect employment are over.
I would pray to restart the same and restore the glory again if possible .
