 rediff.com: Movies: What made Devdas human
Paro and Chandramukhi, Sarat Chandra's heroines, despite their low places in society, were transcendentally beautiful.
The bond between Paro and Devdas was quite a bit more delicate, too; Sarat Chandra never details a bold scene with the pair, whose love was too pure to allow so, before or after he comes back from Kolkata.
Sarat Chandra reprimands his audience sadly, saying that no one should have a life or death quite like this poor man's --- he lived for one thing but had nothing and got nothing.

 My-India.Net: Bollywood - Parineeta
Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay is a legend in Indian literature.
Sarat babu, as he is popularly called, belongs to the rare breed of male writers who are gifted with an almost psychic insight into the female heart.
His ability to see the essential woman, veiled as she was, in thick layers of social conditioning, in the confirmatory nods to custom and tradition, and in a cloak of self-deception that females wore out of habit, was novel for its time.

In the latest version of a story that Sarat Chandra wrote in 1914, the drama has been transported from turn-of-the-century Kolkata to a politically turbulent early 1960s metropolis in flux.
Sarat Chandra is, however, not the only Indian writer that Chopra admires.

 The Hindu : Entertainment Delhi / Cinema : A maverick, period!
For me, bringing to contemporary India an idea that is valid almost 100 years after it was penned is fascinating.
This Friday Vinod is taking us back in time with Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's classic "Parineeta." Apart from producing the film, Vinod has adapted the novel to a screenplay and the maverick says it has taken him two-and-a-half years.
But I thought to do the justice to the great ethic that Sarat Babu wrote it would be appropriate to go back in time slightly.

 The advent of Bengal in Bollywood : Bollywood News : ApunKaChoice.Com
With two classics from Bengali literature making the big bucks at the box office in the last two years and a couple more set to take over the silver screen, Bollywood seems to be falling back on 'eastern magic' as its success mantra.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali 's mega budget Devdaas based on the Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay classic of the same name and Aishwarya Rai starrer Chokher Bali, adapted from Rabindranath Tagore’s work by National award winning director Rituparno Ghosh, rekindled the interest in period classics while raking in the moolah.
Calling it the 'second innings' of Bengali culture in mainline celluloid after the Satyajit Ray era, he says the lavish splendour in which these classics were being reproduced by eminent filmmakers had also made them appealing to the masses.
