Answer 1

It is unquestionably true that hard work andlabour never go unrewarded. Satyajit Ray has beautifully described it through the character of Patol Babu. In spite of getting such an insignificant role, Patol Babu decided to do the role. He practiced very hard on his one-word dialogue.  He went to a secluded corner and started enunciating the syllable in various ways. Along with that he worked out how he would react physically when the collision took place--how his features would be twisted in pain, how he would fling out his arms, how his body would crouch to express pain and surprise--all these he performed in various ways in front of a large glass window.  And when the scene was shot, he gave a flawless performance. All the shooting crew praised him. He himself felt pure satisfaction. This was an invaluable reward for him.
