Summary of Patol Babu Filmstar
Patol Babu Summary : The summary of the lesson Patol Babu, Film Star is given below. You can also see the explanation of the lesson after the summary
Patol Babu lived in Calcutta and worked in a company. However, due to the war he lost his nine-year-old job. Then he tried many jobs and businesses but failed. His cousin offered him to join scrap iron business.
One morning Nishikanto Ghosh visited Patol Babu and told him that his brother-in-law Naresh Dutt who worked in film business needed a short, bald-headed man around fifty years of age for his film. He suggested Patol’s name to him. Patol accepted the offer of the role of a pedestrian. Next morning, he reaches the venue, Faraday House, his heart trembling with nervousness. But the problem was that he was still not given the dialogue. He asked for his dialogue and Naresh Dutt asked his colleagues Sosanko and Jyoti to give the lines to Patol Babu. Jyoti tore off a page and wrote something and gave it to Patol Babu. The word "oh" was written on the page. Patol Babu became very sad to see that his dialogue was just the word "Oh".
As he was sitting dejected, a faint memory stirred up in his mind. It was Mr. Pakrashi, Patol Babu's mentor who had adviced him never to consider any role small and to put in his maximum effort to perform it to his utmost capability. He rehearsed his dialogue, and spoke the word "Oh" in different pitches and feelings. He realized that he could present the role and dialogue in many ways and was keen to perform well. Patol put in his best and performed well. He was so satisfied with his performance that he felt that taking money would undermine his efforts and so, left the place without taking money.
