एडवोकेट जनरल का बेटा, जो बना सिनेमा की दुनिया का बादशाह, राख में तब्दील हुआ था सपना

New Delhi. Sometimes there are moments in life that break us and convert dreams into ashes. But the same ash becomes new wings for some people. B. N. The story of the government is a similar inspiring example. He was not just a filmmaker, but was a seeker of cinema who gave a new direction to the Indian film world. In the year 1940, a fire burned his entire new theater studios, recording and years of hard work. If there was a common man at such a time, it might have broken, but B.C. N. The government did not give up. He again alive his dreams with that ash, gave a platform to new artists, and brought Indian cinema to heights again.

B. N. The entire name of the government was Birendranath Sarkar. He was born on 5 July 1901 in Bhagalpur, Bihar. His father, Sir Narendra Nath Sarkar, was the first Advocate General of Bengal, his great -grandfather Piri Charan Sarkar, wrote the first Indian textbook of English language.

B. N. The government studied civil engineering from London University after studying from the famous Hindu school in Kolkata. After returning from abroad, he started his career as an engineer in Kolkata, but he wanted to do his business. One day when he saw a long line for tickets outside the cinema hall, he decided to start it as his business, where people were ready to buy tickets without looking. It is from here that he stepped into the film production.

Subhash Chandra Bose launched cinema hall

He first built the ‘Chitra’ cinema hall, which was inaugurated by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. After this, in 1931, he founded ‘New Theaters’, which became the strength of Indian cinema in the coming decades. Some of the initial films failed, but they did not give up. The success of films like ‘Devdas’, ‘Chandidas’, and ‘Bhagya Chakra’ made him the king of the world of cinema. He not only made films, but created a movement of amazing confluence of technology, art and Indian culture.

B. N. The government’s ‘new theaters’ was at the summit as technological innovation, cultural contribution and creativity, but on 9 August 1940, a fierce fire devoted everything. B. N. The government’s dream factory was converted into ashes. At the time when the fire broke out, he was watching a football match between Mohun Bagan and Aryan Club. During this time someone came and heard the news of a fire in the studio in his ear. On hearing the news, he immediately ran towards the studio, but by then it was too late. The entire production was burnt down. Decades of hard work was destroyed.

Self -dream, yet not losing defeat

Even after this terrible damage, B.K. N. The government did not give up. He created the studio again, gave a chance to young talents and provided a platform to emerging artists like Bimal Roy. In 1944, he made a new beginning with a sensitive and revolutionary film like ‘Udayar Pathe’. He became a member of the Film Inquiry Committee in 1951, with the recommendations that the Film and Television Institute (FTII) was formed. He breathed his last on 28 November 1980.
