It spells great success for Sounak&#8217;s efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The value of such shows lies especially in helping cine enthusiasts, critics and the young cine goers to step back into the golden era of filmmaking when films rose to the level of art form; when maestro music composers, directors, cameramen, editors, lyricists, actors and technicians, each of them stalwarts in their respective fields, contributed their expertise and innovations to create cinema that would be cherished for decades to come.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the practice of using canvas art in posters is no longer in vogue. &#8220;We have lost a remarkable art form,&#8221; says Supratik. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand why filmmakers who spend sizeable\u00a0budgets on digital posters, can&#8217;t spend a little on some creative canvas art.

Says Rupali Gangopadhyay, a research scientist, who enjoyed going through the memorabilia, although she is not a regular movie buff, \u201cThe concept is great for creating a renewed interest in Basu Chatterji\u2019s films and for encouraging the young audience. The collection of memorabilia is very impressive.
