Acting career

[edit]

Ganguly never intended to be an actress. After she completed her graduation, she was suggested by some of her relatives to pursue acting.[3]She attended a wedding ceremony where she was introduced to Bijoy Chatterjee who was looking for a fresh face with unplucked eyebrows to play the female lead in his Hindi short filmNirupama(1986) based onRabindranath Tagore's Bengali short storyDena Paona.Ganguly was initially hesitant to accept his proposal but later gave her nod on the insistence of her aunt.[4]Soumitra Chatterjeewho played the father to her character in the film helped her get into the role of the heroine.[42]Impressed with her potential, Soumitra Chatterjee cast her as Mrinal alongside his daughter Poulami Basu playing the role of Bindu in his directorial ventureStree Ki Patra(1986), based onStreer Patraa Bengali short story written byTagore.[43][44]

Ganguly was enjoined byRamaprasad Banikto appear for a look test for the female lead in his Bengali TV seriesMuktabandha(1986).[45][46]After she appeared for the look test,Samaresh Majumdar,the screenplay writer of the TV series considered her to be imperfect for the role.[47]The role being that of a call girl, Majumdar wanted an attractive actress to portray it. He suggested Banik to find another actress other than Ganguly whom he considered to be dowdy. Majumdar was requested to meet Ganguly once again. This time Ganguly appeared charming and attractive, and was finalised to portray the female lead. Her performance in the series was appreciated.[48][49]She accepted a role oppositeChiranjeet ChakrabortyinPrabhat Roy's Bengali filmPrateek(1988).[50]Roy's next venture wasAgnitrishna(1989) that once again sawChiranjeet Chakrabortyessaying the male protagonist Abhijit suffering frompyrophobia.Roy cast Ganguly as the female lead opposite Chakraborty. She had to enact the role of the doctor who treats the protagonist.[51]The film failed to win critical favour while Ganguly's performance was critically acclaimed.[52]She also accepted another role oppositeChakrabortyin Biresh Chatterjee's Bengali filmTufan(1989). The film was a major financial success.[53]She featured inMrinal Sen's much acclaimed Hindi FilmEk Din Achanak(1989) andBasu Chatterjee's Hindi filmKamla Ki Maut(1989).

ReportedlyB.R. Choprawas quite impressed with Ganguly's performance in the TV seriesGanadevta.AfterJuhi Chawladeclined the role ofDraupadiforMahabharat,Chopradecided to get her appear for a screen test for the role. In 1988, she was summoned by director Biresh Chatterjee to NT1 Studio where the director informed her that Chopra wanted her to appear for the look test.[54]Ramya Krishnanwas also another strong candidate to portray the role. Ganguly was finally chosen since her Hindi diction was better.[55]In 1989, the 34th episode of the series introduced her. She was hailed for her performance in theGame of Dicesequence.[56]The sequence was aired in the 46th, 47th and 48th episodes of the series. The sequence narrates Draupadi being dragged to the court byDushasana.She then asksBhishma,a veteran of theKuruclan whetherYudhishthirahas the right to put her in stake. The sequence demanded her to weep while enacting the part. She was so engrossed that she wept on even after her shot was over.[57][58][59][60][61]She later claimed that her performance in the TV series was quite mediocre.[62]

Ganguly received wide attention from Bollywood media and producers for her role in Chopra'sMahabharat,yet she never had a significant elevation in her Bollywood career. She said that things became very hard since she was an outsider and had to face the problem of casting couch.[63]She featured as Rama in Tariq Shah's Hindi filmBaahar Aane Tak(1990). The film did not meet financial success.[64]Onwards, she appeared in films such asK. Bapayya'sPyar Ka Devta(1991),Raj Sippy'sSaugandh(1991) andRajkumar Kohli'sVirodhi(1992) to name a few. In 1991, she acted in the blockbusterKannadafilmPolice Matthu Dada,directed byTulsi RamsayandShyam Ramsay.In the same year, she appeared in its Hindi remake titledInspector Dhanush.The film flopped at the box office. In 1992, she acted in A. V. Seshagiri Rao's Telugu filmInspector Bhavani,where she played the character of a sincere police officer whose object is to bring an end to those who assassinated her fiancée.[65]In the same year, she acted in Sukanta Roy's Bengali filmPitrireen,where she played the character of Sathi, a photographer who inquires about her father's assassin.

In 1992, she appeared inGoutam Ghose's award-winning Bengali filmPadma Nadir Majhi,where she played the character ofKapila,a woman from the fishermen community who falls for her sister's husband and finally leaves her family to settle with him on Moynadeep island. Her performance in this film was appreciated by the critics and media personalities.Utpal Dutt,who was also a part of this venture, was recorded to comment on her performance: "Roopa has really lived the life of Kapila with those flawless body languages of a woman from the fisherman community."[66]

In 1995, She accepted a role inRavi Chopra'sKanoonon the latter's insistence.[67]In 1995, she appeared in Amal Roy Ghatak's Bengali filmUjan,which won her theBFJA Award for Best Supporting Actressin 1996. In 1996, she appeared inAparna Sen's award-winning Bengali filmYugant,where she played the character of an obsessed dancer. Her performance in the film won favourable reviews.[68]Apart from acting in feature films, she went on appearing in numerous telefilms and television series, both in Bengali and Hindi, includingSukanya(1998).[69]

In 2000, she appeared inRituparno Ghosh's award-winning Bengali filmBariwali,where she played the character ofSudeshna Mitra,an actress playing the character ofBinodini,in a film Chokher Bali directed, alongside the male protagonist. In 2001, she appeared in a cameo role inGoutam Ghose's award-winning Bengali filmDekha.Though she made a cameo appearance in it, she garnered huge mass attention as the film was widely advertised on her enthralling dialogue; "Sagar dekhben naa, shudhu amake dekhun." In the film, she rendered her character with a fine, seductive approach, especially in theEki Labonyo Purna Pratesong sequence, where the character played bySoumitra Chatterjeerecalls an earlier moment of Ganguly gazing back at him.[70]In 2003, she appeared inGautam Ghose's Bengali filmAbar Aranye,where she played the character ofShimul,a buoyant woman who is grief-stricken at the deepest core of her heart for the probable loss of her husband. She appeared in a cameo role inBow Barracks Forever(2004) byAnjan Dutt.[71]

In 2005, she appeared inRituparno Ghosh's award-winning Bengali filmAntarmahal,where she played the character ofMahamaya,a docile wife to an arrogant zamindar. Her performance in the film was hugely appreciated by film critics.[72][73][74]Indian film critic Piyush Roy wrote on her performance in the film, "Ganguly rekindles memories of her fiery act of Draupadi in B R Chopra’sMahabharatthrough her blow hot, blow cold performance. "[75]

Roopa Ganguly's Mahamaya is a worthy contender to lead any listing of memorable women characters from Ghosh's abundant array of some seriously multi-dimensional female protagonists seen on celluloid in recent times. Ganguly rekindles memories of her fiery act of Draupadi in B R Chopra’sMahabharatthrough her blow hot, blow cold performance. The film’s narrator may be the British artist, but hers is the character that drives its most dramatic moments and through whom the audience is warned about the catastrophe in waiting. From a jealous, wasted aging wife in the beginning, she seizes screen presence with her every appearance, lacing it with new untapped facets to her personality. To her husband's employees, she is like an incarnation of the goddess-provider, to Jashomati she is the nurturer and to the voyeuristic exploitative priests, she is the ultimate sexual tease. In the zamindar's "antarmahal" abounding with women resigned to their fates, she is a thinking, living, sexual being, who sets her own agendas and seeks her own pleasures, almost like a man.

— Piyush Roy (Indian film critic)[76]

She herself considered this role as a big challenge as it was inherently contrary to her personality.[37]The film won her theBFJA Award for Best Supporting Actressin 2006. ReportedlyMira Nairwas all praise for Ganguly's performance in the film after the former had attended a private screening of the film in USA. Nair proposed her to play the role of Asima's mother inThe Namesake.[77]Ganguly eschewed the offer since the role was not meaty enough. She then, featured inSekhar Das's award-winning Bengali filmKrantikaal(2005), where she played the character ofSubarna,who befriends a terrorist who broke into her house.[78]She appeared in Raj Mukherjee's Bengali filmNagordola(2005), where she portrayed the character of an arrogant and rude woman who gets diagnosed as having throat cancer and realises that life is not like it has conventionally been and gives her full consent to her own unmarried daughter to give birth of her baby and to bring it up. The film was a major hit at the box office for its contemporary social issue. Her performance in the film earn her anAnandalok Awardnomination in the Best Actress in the Leading Role category in 2006.[citation needed]She acted in the much acclaimed Bengali filmEk Mutho Chabi(2005), produced by herself, where she played the character of an established actress who has a car accident, consequently losing her career.[79][80]In December 2005, Ganguly was named byThe Telegraphin the list of Five Crowning Queens of 2005 alongsideRani Mukerji,Preity Zinta,Konkona Sen SharmaandVidya Balan.[81]

In 2006, she accepted a role of a writer inKaram Apnaa Apnaaproduced byBalaji Telefilmsand shifted her base to Mumbai.[82]She then appeared in Hindi TV series such asLove StoryandAgle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo(2009).

Everything was fine. I don't mind if my role is not getting enough prominence as long as the character is meaty enough because that's how soaps are made today. I also don't mind if I am given less work. But I am a very sensitive and creative person. I felt that there was no respect for a senior actor like me. Money is everywhere but one doesn't work only for money. If there is no respect for the work one does then money is not worth the effort. On the last day of my shoot for Kasturi, I signed the register but didn't accept my pay-packet because I shot only for a few close-up shots. I didn't see any point in taking payment for only five minutes of work.
