SUMMARY

The story ‘Patol Babu, Film star’ depicts the dreams and aspirations of small time
actors and the apathy of film people for whom making films is a business. The
story revolves around Patol Babu, a very common man in his fifties struggling for
his living. In his early days he was an acclaimed stage actor. Now, after twenty
years, he, once again gets a chance to show his acting skills in a film.

The story brings us to the realization that personal satisfaction is more important
than financial rewards. Patol Babu comes to understand that personal satisfaction
could not be measured and weighed by money. He acted in the film out of
passion he felt toward the job more than because of the money he would make
from the job. The writer, Satyajit Ray has highlighted the idea that one does a job
because he is interested in it rather than getting rewarded for it. The story
appeals as much to our intellect as it does to our heart, just like Satyajit Ray’s
films did.
