Another original script by Ray. This is about a day in the life of a very top notch film star and the biggest star then in Bengal, Uttam Kumar, was cast to play the main role here. Dialogue writing here is so much institutional that can be learnt for any kind of scenario. You will see this flick from different perspective too - I mean how others see, envy, love, hate or get jealous about the celebrities and those feelings are actually leading from scenes to scenes here. Ray's movies always had some motif of railways or trains, but here, his art director Banshi Chandra Gupta made the entire second and last act about this so much into it that we can call it as the 'literally' and 'figuratively' the driving force of the film.
