Best Actors of Bengali cinema in 2015

In 2015, in Bengali film industry many actors impressed us where some other disappointed too. Let's have a recap of how our favorite actors from Bengali film industry performed in 2015.

The actors who rocked in 2015.

Abir Chatterjee - The year started with Abir's last year's big hits "Badshahi Angti" and

"Byomkesh Fire Elo". His successful journey continued in 2015 with superhits like "Ebar Shabor", "Rajkahini", "Katmundu" and "HarHar Byomkesh". There were flops too like "Jomer Raja Dili Bor" and "Abby Sen" but he got good response for his performance in "Abby Sen". Performance wise he showcased his variation as an actor from doing negative role in "Rajkahini" as well as comedy too in "Katmundu". But we loved him most in his last release of the year "Har Har Byomkesh" where he played his most loved character, Byomkesh. 

Jishu Sengupta - There is no doubt 2015 was very much successful year for Jishu Smgupta. He was not much there throughout the year except for the experimental movie

"Nirbaak" which did not fare at box office. But he manged to leave impression with his three big releases in teh last quarter of 2015. He had his career best hit as a leading man in "Byomkesh Bakshy". We also loved him in a negative role in "Arshinagar". But the best of him we saw in "Rajkahini". In "Rajkahini",he played a negative character  for the first time in his career. It was an extended cameo where he hardly had 3-4 scenes but he was just awesome in those scenes. His performance as well as his physical transformation for the character was truly surprising. 

Dev -  From last few years, Dev is constantly trying to maintain balance in his choice of

movies ranging from mainstream south Indian remakes to subject oriented parallel cinema for multiplex going audiences. In 2015 he had acted in movies like "Herogiri" and "Sudhu Tomari Janno" which were remakes alongside an experimental parallel cinema "Arshinagar". Among these three only "Sudhu Tomari Janno" was a big hit in small centers as well as in urban theaters. We appreciate his attempt to work on a movie like "Arshinagar" and we also give him credit for his film selection for both type of audiences. Although he managed to give at least one hit at box office but performance wise he is yet to get that recognition.



Ritwick Chakraborty - He is definitely one of the best actors of Tollywood as of now. For an actor of his caliber the length of the on screen character does not matter and he has

proved that in 2015 with smaller yet impressive supporting acts in movies like "Ebar Shabor", "Nirbaak" and "Har Har Byomkesh". Apart from that he impressed us in leading roles in the movies "Asa Jaoar Majhe" and "Anubrato Bhalo Achho". In both these movies the he had played some really challenging roles and he was just too good. Also we loved to hate him in his negative role in "Bheetu". He had also tried his hands in comedy with movies like "Bitnoon" and "Cross Connection 2", but sadly it did not worked in his favor. No matter hit or flop, no  matter he is in lead role or supporting role when Ritwick Chakraborty is on screen he definitely mesmerizes us with his wonderful  acting.

Shashwata Chatterjee - Its obvious that Shashwata Chatterjee does not look like a conventional hero to play a lead role so mostly he continued giving wonderful performances in supporting roles but as a main lead he gave a big hit in the beginning of 2015. It was the crime thriller "Ebar Shabor" where Shashwata played the title role with perfection. Among the others he was very impressive in supporting roles in movies like "Nirbashito", "Rajkahini", "Katmundu", "Byomkesh Bakshy" and "Nataker Mato".There were some flops too but we can overlook that considering the success rate of this wonderful actor.

Jeet - While all his contemporaries are shifting towards parallel cinema, Jeet is the only Tollywood hero who is still consistent in Mainstream commercial cinemas. Not only that he is even making such movies a hit too. This year his only release was "Besh Korechhi Prem Korechhi" which was a full on masala entertainer and Jeet impressed us with his stardom. It became a big hit specially in small centers.
Once again he proved he is still the Boss of mainstream commercial cinema.

Parambrata Chatterjee - This year he started as a director with "Larai" which was a box office disaster.Then he came as an actor in movies like "Roga Hoar Sahaj Upay" and "Babar Naam Ghandhiji". Both the movies were complete washout at the box office, not only that even Parambrata's performance did not get any recognition in any of these movies. Mostly he looked repetitive in both the movies.
