A star is a person on the screen who continues to be expressive and interesting even after he or she has stopped doing anything.
This definition does not exclude the rare and lucky breed that gets lakhs of rupees per film; and it includes everyone who keeps his calm before the camera, projects a personality and evokes empathy. This is a rare breed too but one has met it in our films. Dhritiman Chatterjee of Pratidwandi is such a star." - ( Our Films Their Films ) Dhritiman has not been closely associated with mainstream "Bollywood" and has appeared in a relatively small number of films.
