Shraddhanjali (1993) watch online

Shraddhanjali is a 1993 Bengali drama film directed by Sreekanta Guha Thakurta and produced by Bandana Das. The story, screenplay and lyrics are penned by Anjan Choudhury. The plot revolves around the three central characters — Amit, Sathi and Bobby. Amit discovers his student Bobby's love for him whereas he is in love with Sathi. Sathi, on the other hand, chooses to stay away from Amit's life as he has the scope to prosper in his life if he marries Bobby. Bobby is as magnanimous as Sathi. She plays her part to reunite Amit and Sathi. The film stars Prosenjit Chatterjee as Amit, Satabdi Roy as Sathi and Debashree Roy as Bobby. It also stars Ranjit Mullick, Kali Banerjee, Ruma Guha Thakurta, Anup Kumar and Aloka Ganguly. The music of the film is composed by R. D. Burman.

The filming began in November 1988. Previously Chumki Chowdhury was cast to portray the role of Sathi alongside Prosenjit Chatterjee and Debashree Roy. It was supposed to be her cinematic debut. The project got shelved and was rescheduled in 1992. Chumki was replaced by Satabdi Roy as the production house wanted to cast someone whose stardom was equivalent to Debashree's stardom. Prior to its release, the film made headlines as Debashree and Satabdi shared the screen for the first time. Subhadeep Banerjee of The Wall describes it to be an 'implausible affair' as it is sometimes impossible to cast two top-billing actresses together in a film. Upon its release, it became the highest-grossing Bengali film of the year.
