Tribute 810.

Tribute to Cinematographer KamalBose 810.Today, I feel compelled to write in my blogs about the veteran Bollywood cinematographers and their exceptional work in framing scenes despite limited advancements in equipment. One such remarkable individual was the late Cinematographer Kamal Bose. He collaborated with the late Director Bimal Roy on numerous successful films and received recognition with Filmfare awards for movies like Bandhani, Anokhi Raat, Khamoshi, Dastak, and Dharmatma, all shot in black and white, which was truly impressive six decades ago. Kamal Bose's career spanned collaborations with established directors of yesteryear, leaving a lasting impact on the Bollywood film industry and garnering millions of fans. Personally, I have had the privilege to watch some of his films such as Qurbani, Vakil Babu, JaanBaaz, Dayavan, and a few others that escape my memory. His films showcased excellent framing techniques both indoors and outdoors, highlighting his talent in utilizing available equipment to revolutionize Bollywood cinematography. Even in the era of color films, Kamal Bose continued to demonstrate his prowess. Today, I am delighted to pay tribute to this late stalwart. K. Ragavan 18-3-24. Until we meet again next week, farewell.
