Yes, Sukhi/Sammie I am still gaga over Aparajit Deb (Sammie you know that) and now I am gaga over Malik...
From where do I begin? What can I really say about what this actor really means for the Indian television industry? What is there left to say but to travel on this journey of the imagination as he takes us with him as Mr. Bajaj, as Aparajit Deb, as Bhishmapitamah and now as the highly arrogant, egocentric, prejudiced diamond merchant, Dharamraj Mahiyavanshi.
Mr. Roy's amazing talent is that he is able to bring versatility and a certain uniqueness to each of the character he enacts. The unique quality he conveys to each character is that no two characters are alike in looks, language or movement-change is the most consistent part of his repertoire and that exceptional ability to change is in itself commendable. Without Mr. Roy, there is no "Bandini".
It is his presence in the serial that takes the serial altogether to another level.
From the first frame he appears in as Dharamraj Mahiyavanshi, Mr. Roy manages to capture the viewer with his voice, his look, and his movement. Just take a look at the episodes he is seen in. Even when he is restrained in a scene, and from the back a shawl is draped on his shoulders from one of his attendants, one can feel the burning anger that is raging inside of him.
Touch your screen, I am sure the heat is on.
I forget that it is really Mr. Roy playing Dharamraj Mahiyavanshi, for it feels like I am watching a real person called Dharamraj Mahiyavanshi. That is the power of Mr. Roy, the power to capture your imagination and take you on a journey with him.
