It is really a good news.. Mirnal sen is a very talented filmmaker . He has given a lot of classic movies.. Hats off for his achievements..

Out of the context:- :)
His film Bhuvan Shome(1969) also initiated the “New Cinema” film movement in India. He has won his first best directer award for Bhuvan Shome.
