Why is Bengali cinema lagging behind? This question occasionally pops into the minds of Bengali cinema lovers. Now, Prosenjit Chatterjee himself has opened up about the matter.

What Did Prosenjit Chatterjee Say?

In an interview, Bengali's favorite 'Bumba da' was asked about the decline of Bengali cinema. There, Prosenjit explained the reason for the decline of Bengali cinema. According to Bumba da, it is not that good films are not being made in Bengali. Rather, he believes that the success rate of Bengali films in the last few years is better than that of other regional industries.

Prosenjit claims that 70 to 80 percent of the films have done good business. The actor said this in the context of investment, even though there is not a lot of money. Prosenjit added that Bengali films are not falling behind in terms of quality, citing the movie Onko Ki Kothin without naming any specifics.

Prosenjit Chatterjee believes that Bengali is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. But Bengali films have not been marketed well. This industry has not been marketed internationally outside Bengal. Referring to the recently released web series 'Khaki, he said that the series was successful because of the Bengali connection. Therefore, he believes that Bengali films are lagging behind due to the failure to market the films.
