Uttam Kumar a surprising personality. It is needless to present any introduction of uttam Kumar.During his lifetime an immense popularity he enjoyed as Bengali films here is unbelievable and unthinkable.
He had successfully maintained his grading as number one in the industry throughout his career for thirty years At the same time his untouchable popularity.One thing always haunts me what are the secret of his brilliant success.
Lot of articles have been written about him during his life time and also after death. Lot of his interviews have also appeared in various magazines. Still after long thirty six years of his death I have felt the need of making a study for finding out the reasons for his unbelievable success.
He is from an ordinary lower middle class family.His father was an employee possibly an operator of Metro cinema hall. He was an ordinary student and didn't complete his college education.He started his service carrier from an ordinary position.He joined film while he was in service and continued the same for quite some time.
He faced a tremendous bad time during his initial days of film carrier . One after another his film flopped.He was naturally very upset and about to quit the industry. He was named as FMG i.e.Flops Master General. But the success came shortly.

His Bosu paribar was a super heat . Since then he was not to look behind.Here is the very vital question everything of his being very ordinary how such grand success came. To me his utmost sincerity and dedication. He never compromised with these two most precious qualifications.I had an opportunity to watch his.outdoor shooting ,I was astonished at his dedication which is beyond expression and even didn't waste a single moment.Such a serious person always sees the face of success.His unfortunate premature death has caused serious loss of Bengali films, had he survived he would have acted plenty of different characters and we would have enjoyed the same. It is very painful for us we have been deprived from endless characters. Only consolation is yet he has given his best for the continuos three decades.
My kindest regards to him.
