Bengal Cinema: Actor of the Year: Prosenjit

The battle-hardened veteran not only wowed audiences in '22shey Srabon', but also virtually resurrected his career after making films such as 'Autograph'. He continued his upward streak with 'Nouka Dubi' and 'Moner Manush'.

Actress of the Year: Koel Mullick

Daughter of veteran actor Ranjit Mullick managed to maintain her No. 1 position even though she didn’t have too many films this year. Rajib Biswas’ high-cost 'Paglu' grossed Rs 5-6 crore and was immensely popular in the districts. It also helped that no other female actor tasted huge success this year.

With two big hits 'Balunga Toka' and 'Kiese Dakuchhi Kauthu Mate' in her kitty, Barsha also starred in another average-runner 'Chhatire Lekhichi Tori Naa'.
