Deeply saddened to hear about Basu Chatterjee’s passing away. A prolific filmmaker, he was the pioneer of what came to be regarded as middle of the road cinema. I was fortunate to have done three lovely films with him Swami, Apne Paraye and Jeena Yahan. All lifelike characters. RIP

Amitabh Bachchan

T 3552 — Prayers and condolences on the passing away of Basu Chatterjee … a quiet, soft spoken, gentle human … his films reflected the lives of middle India … did Manzil with him … a sad loss … in these climes often remembered for rim jhim gire saawan.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
