Jamalaye Jibonto Bhanu is a 2024 Indian Bengali-language comedy drama film produced by Suman Kumar Das under the Burima Chitram banner and directed by Krishnendu Chatterjee. It starred Saswata Chatterjee in the title role. The film was released theatrically on 15 November 2024.
The project was announced in 2022 on the occasion of legendary actor Bhanu Bandopadhyay’s 101st birth anniversary, inspired by the 1958 film Jamalaye Jibanta Manush».[1][2] After portraying Ritwik Ghatak in Meghe Dhaka Tara and Uttam Kumar in Ochena Uttam, Saswata Chatterjee took on the role of Bhanu Bandopadhyay. Makeup artist Somnath Kundu transformed him into the late comedian, and composer Raja Narayan Deb provided the score.[3]
A sequence from the 1953 film Saade Chuyattar was featured, with Darshana Banik portraying Suchitra Sen.[4]
