Topic: Dhritiman Chaterji


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  The Hindu : Metro Plus Delhi / Interview : It takes two to tango
Chaterji: For an actor, the necessity to observe people is not the same as interacting with them.
Chaterji: I've worked in advertising where only people who write or visualise copy to persuade others are considered creative.
Chaterji: I remember a radio interview of film celebrities where the polished diction I attributed to a British director turned out to be belonging to Satyajit Ray.

  The Telegraph - Calcutta : Metro   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Settling down for a chat, you wonder whether Dhritiman Chaterji (picture by Reshmi Sengupta) is as arrogant as his screen persona, Mr Paul McNaully, in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black.
Chaterji has pursued advertising, made films for television and now does English theatre in Chennai, which he finds challenging and a pleasure.
Jogging his memory, Chaterji says: “We (he and a few friends) were setting up the film society at Delhi University.

 The Hindu : Magazine / People : Verbal magic
Though Chaterji has had his brush with foreign productions, like "Holy Smoke", "The Perfumed Garden" and "The Badger", he cannot resist the lure of live performance, ever since his early days with the English theatre in Kolkata.
Chaterji is happy to make the time in his busy life as a documentarist and social communications consultant (for the UNESCO on literacy and women's issues in India and Bangladesh), to walk the boards for productions in Chennai.
I hope for his sake that with this film, he comes back as an actor, as opposed to being merely a star." Chaterji is full of praise for his `daughter' Rani.

 India Currents News: Lessons for the Teacher   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Cleverly (and budget-consciously) shot in fl and white, Badger chisels out a remarkable character study that moves like a complex and fluid one-man stage play put to film.
Vernon “Badger” Andrews (played intensely by Chaterji), a former boxer who is now a tautly impeccable, middle-aged classic literature instructor at an exclusive all-male Calcutta college, finds his sense of propriety dealt a rude classroom wakeup call in the hands of an attractive, back-row slacker (Mhatre, who obsessed over Dimple Kapadia in the recent Leela).
Badger’s unexpected outburst at this transgression (is he more upset by the act of insubordination or its subtle homoerotic come-on?) forces Badger to contemplate his frayed morality against the demands of modernity and even his sexuality.

Let's begin at the beginning, which opens smart and tart enough before taking a sharp left turn into the slough of despond.
On holiday in India, a pair of young Aussie tourists played by Kate Winslet and Samantha Murray fall in with the wrong crowd, a bunch of starry-eyed, sari-clad Westerners in the thrall of a charismatic guru named Chidaatma Baba (Dhritiman Chaterji).
While Prue (Murray) quickly identifies Baba's followers as "losers," Ruth (Winslet) has some sort of transcendent experience of "the real stuff" when the toadlike Svengali touches her on the forehead.
