দেবদাস থেকে দিওয়ার: হেরোর বক্স অফিস | Srijit Mukherji & Kamaleshwar Mukhopadhyay | KCC Baithakkhana

What happens when cinema’s most unforgettable characters lose—at love, at life, or at the box office? In this riveting session titled From Devdas to Deewar: The Box Office Losers, filmmaker Srijit Mukherji, director-actor Kamaleshwar Mukhopadhyay, and film critic Jagori Bandhyopadhyay explored the enduring appeal of cinematic defeat. The discussion was moderated by Priyak Mitra (Chief Sub-Editor, DaakBangla.com). Part of Chapter 2 of KCC Baithakkhana, this session unpacked how so-called ‘losers’ in cinema often become cultural legends, shaping how we see failure, resistance, and tragedy on screen. Curated by Chandril Bhattacharya and Sanchari Mookherjee, the three-day literary meet was organised by Kolkata Centre for Creativity as part of an Emami CSR initiative, centred on the theme of হেরো (The Defeated) in literature and popular media. #KCCBaithakkhana #Deewar #SrijitMukherji #Devdas #KamaleshwarMukhopadhyay
