Cinemaazi remembers Utpal Dutt on his death anniversary

A legendary actor, director, playwright and theatre aficionado, Utpal Dutt was an exemplary artist and political activist who made immense contributions to the Indian film industry. His role as Bhavani Shankar, Amol Palekar's boss in the film Gol Maal (1979), became an iconic character for its remarkable moustache and hilarious traditional values. His ingenious sense of humour and nuanced comedic timing was unique. Today, on his death anniversary, we fondly remember the veteran actor.
