Chhabi Biswas did not receive an Oscar nomination for portraying Biswambhar Roy in Jalsaghar.
A pleasure of mine from this endeavor can be when I purposefully don't look too much into the synopsis of a particular film, which is often the case if it is from a director I already like and the film has general acclaim. So I went into this one blind, and was in for a few surprises in its tale of Roy's days as a lord. When we open the film I didn't know where the film was going to take the character or me in terms of this journey, as we begin with the man seemingly just being contemplative and a bit demanding of his ever stoic, though not emotionless, estate manager, who is always trying and failing to as politely as possible slightly urge his lord to do what needs to be done. Biswas though exudes a man of wealth and really just of wealth. A man whose whole existence is within his estate and the whims he finds himself in, and what he's most fixated on. There is no great concern, despite plenty to the contrary, in the man's mind and Biswas brings this pitch perfect aloofness of a man who settles on his interests and his interests only. And those interests are largely just the music in his music room, which he eagerly goes to listen to, and in that we do see the man come to life
