Abstract
The 24 July 1980 was a fateful day for the Bengali movie viewers. The
superstar of Bengali cinema breathed his last. The year 2020 marked his fortieth
death anniversary. The euphoria with the star of fifties and sixties lasts even
today. His mannerisms, styled acting and his charisma had inflated profit for the
producer, showered fame for himself creating a furor among the cine-goers. This
article will focus on how spectatorship and gendered gaze can build a ‘star’ and
what their relation to the star may be and what were the elements that acted as
a catalyst to this.
