বারবার ফিরে আসেন শ্রদ্ধায় স্মরণে

কৃতীদের কাজ তো শুধু জীবদ্দশাতেই সীমাবদ্ধ নয়। তাই চলে গিয়েও তাঁরা বারবার ফিরে আসেন শ্রদ্ধায়, স্মরণে। যেমন, ভারতীয় চলচ্চিত্র জগতের প্রবাদপ্রতিম শিল্পী সৌমিত্র চট্টোপাধ্যায় (Soumitra Chatterjee)। ২০২০ সালের নভেম্বরে তিনি জীবন-মৃত্যুর সঙ্গে পাঞ্জা লড়ার পর চলে গিয়েছেন পরলোকে। কিন্তু বারেবারেই তিনি যেন ফিরে ফিরে আসেন। ২০২১এর অ্যাকাডেমি অ্যাওয়ার্ডস অর্থাৎ অস্কারের (OSCAR) মঞ্চে আরও একবার আবির্ভূত হলেন তিনি। সোমবার লস অ্যাঞ্জেলেসে (LA) অস্কারের মঞ্চে চলচ্চিত্র জগতের প্রয়াত ব্যক্তিত্বদের স্মৃতিচারণায় এলেন সৌমিত্র চট্টোপাধ্যায়। মরণোত্তর শ্রদ্ধা জানানো হল ইরফান খান-সহ আরও অনেককে।
