[aniray1]

Binodini Dasi

Noti Binodini presented by Natto Company

A quick glance at Brajendra Kumar Dey's life
In the early 1930s, Brajendra Kumar Dey, who was a masters in economics, opted to teach in a school. On the advice of Jogesh Chandra Choudhury, who wrote plays for Sisir Kumar Bhaduri and also acted in them, Brajendra began to write palas. Brajendra filled the vacuum formed by the death of the famous scriptwriter Bholanath Roy Kabyashastri and held sway over jatra till the 1970s.

THANKS THANKS THANKS

I cant explain how thrilled and excited I am to see this play here in the form of an audio book. Thanks a lot for fantastic comprehensive introduction which does not leave much to say. However I want to fill in a bit more for the actual Jatra itself.

I have not downloaded the play yet so I will be bit assumptive and I guess the role is played by Bina Dasgupta.(only because of the fact that the director is the great Arun Dasgupta). Bina Dasgupta, along with Arun Dasgupta, have given us plenty of great Jatras, including 'Meerar Bondhua', 'Joydev Padmaboti' etc. She had acted in many social and mythological plays and she got the title, Jatra Samranggi (Empress of Jatra) because of her various portrayal characters. She was a real beauty and she had a pitch perfect singing voice.

In the late 70's, 80's and early 90's, I have seen her performing on the stage and I am very proud to say that I have seen her performing in 'Noti Binodini' with A Dasgupta who acted as great Girish Chandra Ghosh. I am 35 now, so in the 70's I was only a young boy. However I must admit that still to a young boy, their performance was electrifying.

Bina and Arun were never married, though she taken his surname, and worn Sankha and sindur. In the late 80's, Arun died of liver malfunction due to excessive drinking problem. I remember him drunk on stage, acting as the ferocious priest in 'Meerar Bondhua', and tripping on the ramp to the three side open mancho. Still he was, almost , flawless. Bina Dasgupta died less than two years ago. She was returning home from one performance, to Kolkata, and on GT Rd, somewhere in Hoogly, in the middle of the night, a truck collided her car and she died in the hospital. She had no children and had only few nephews etc. I almost cried reading about it, because of the loss.

Thanks a lot again for bringing back my childhood to me, in this foreign land.
