'''Kali Banerjee''' (20 November 1920 – 5 July 1993) was an Indian actor, who worked in the 1950s–1970s in [[Cinema of West Bengal|Bengali cinema]].<ref>[https://www.anandabazar.com/amp/patrika/some-unknown-facts-about-the-great-actor-kali-bannerjee-1.768273 ভাঙা বাংলায় ভাঙা মানুষের রূপকার কালী বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়] ''Anandabazar Patrika''. Retrieved 13 June 2021</ref> He is best known for his work with film directors like [[Satyajit Ray]] in ''[[Parash Pathar]]'' (1958) and [[Ritwik Ghatak]] in ''[[Nagarik]]'' (1952) and ''[[Ajantrik]]'' (1958).

==Career==
Starring in many commercial ventures in the 1960s, his association with the serious film-makers is what has given the actor an imperishable place in the history of [[Cinema of West Bengal|Bengali cinema]]. He starred first in the movie named '<nowiki/>''Tatinir Bichar'<nowiki/>'' and '''Barmar Pathe''<nowiki/>' (On the way to [[Burma]]). Further he brought out a convincing portrayal of a young [[Chinese people|Chinese]] vendor Lu Wang in the street of [[Kolkata]] in time of [[India]]'s freedom struggle in [[Mrinal Sen]]'s ''[[Neel Akasher Neechey]]'' (1959).<ref>[http://stationhollywood.blogspot.com/2008/11/kali-banerjee-legend-of-realistic-films.html Kali Banerjee - the legend of realistic films] 12 November 2008.</ref>

He acted in [[Satyajit Ray]]'s ''[[Parash Pathar]]'' (1958) and ''[[Teen Kanya]]'' (1961), but it was his association with [[Ritwik Ghatak]], with whom he worked in ''[[Nagarik]]'' (1952), ''[[Ajantrik]]'' (1958) that the cinephiles mostly enjoy and want to commemorate.

He played a ''Bahurupi'' in ''Bari Theke Paliye''. Then there was ''[[Ajantrik]]'', where he was flawless in the portrayal of an idiosyncratic driver Bimal who is in love with his car. Besides these [[Arthouse]] films, he acted with aplomb in the films such as * ''[[Kabuliwala (1957 film)|Kabuliwala]]'' (1956), ''Badsha'', ''Kinu Gowalar Goli'', ''Guru Dakshina '' and the [[Hindi]] films such as ''[[Bawarchi]]'' (1972) directed by [[Hrishikesh Mukherjee]].

He acted as the leading character 'Totla Ganesh' (stammering Ganesh) in Satyen Bose's popular hit comedy ''Barjatri'' (1951) (English title: The Marriage Procession). The Bengali movie-goer fondly remembers his understated comedy and excellent comic timing in the film. After that he worked in hundreds of Bengali commercial movies. Important side roles played by Banerjee in all those movies made him very popular in Tollywood (Bengali film industry).{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}

The film was banned in [[Karachi]] and [[Madras]]. It had the owners of Kohinoor playing the main roles, with Dwarkadas Sampat as Vidur and Maneklal Patel as Krishna, while the role of Duryodhan was enacted by [[Homi Master]].<ref name="Rajadhyaksha ch.
