Rishi Kaushik made his debut on Bengali television a couple of years back in a telefilm produced by Indrani Halder, she playing the female lead. He looked impressive (playing a commando) right then, with potential for television and mainstream Bengali cinema too (given the right grooming and handling).
Years have passed by. Rishi has worked selectively on television. He has won many hearts for his sensitive portrayal of Indra, paired opposite Aparajita Ghosh Das playing his love interest Mohar, in the popular Zee Bangla soap Ekdin Pratidin.
It is beyond me why save for a few Bengali films like Riingo's 'Kranti' and Traun Majumdar's 'Chander Bari' he has been largely overlooked by the successful directors of Bengali mainstream cinema, who've rued in the media for the lack of actors with hero material i.e. goodlooking young men who can sort of act or can be made to act. In Kranti he played the dashing college baddie and brother of the villain Ashis Vidyarthi. In Chander Bari his character was not the lead and had a very traditional Bengali look. So his potential of being a frontrunner for the leading man's slot has been given a complete miss. Its more of a loss for the industry and the audience with a visible appetite for new heroes than his, I believe.
Hence this handsome hunk (having seen him personally at events I vouch for the words), instead of winning hearts of cinegoers giving his peers in hero-starved Tollygunge a run for their money, is charming the girls (and the women including mothers and aunts in all possibilities) as Dr Ujan Chatterjee, romancing Aparajita Ghosh Das again, in the soap Ekhane Akash Neel on the new Bengali entertainment channel Star Jalsha (Picture at bottom).

I am very much impressed with Rrishi Kaushik's acting in the current megaserial Ekhane Aakash Neel. He is especially credible in the scenes where he has had to put on an intense expression while the leading lady experiences an outburst of emotion. Rrishi, I must say, is very much a director's actor. And whenever a director (like Riingo, who has directed him in the film 'Kranti') cultivates his brooding good looks to make him underplay the character, the result can be superlative.

ReplyDeletewhat to say about rrishii koushik....he is our heartthrob...i believe after along time tollygunge has actually gifted us a star inreal sense of the term...his peformances from ekdin protidin to EAN have been one of the strogest ones on bengali television..his craze among girls reminds us of rajeev khandelwal(sujal)of kahin to hoga...and i just hope that he gets the required break in movies as well(just as rajeev has got in 'aamir')...if he is overlooked then it is only the bengali film industry's bad luck that they r overlooking a potential star provided he is given the roles which really suits him(obviously he is not meant for running around trees and singing songs...)that is should be given the characters with substance.all the best rrishii .....
ReplyDeleteI just love Ekhane Akhash Neel.
ReplyDeleteRrishii,
ReplyDeleteU n Aparajita are mindblowing as an on screen couple. We the fans of EAN urnestly request the creatives to show us more interaction between Ujaan n Hiya. We watch the serial becoz of u two.EAN is a serial different from all the other soaps on air and we all hope it remains so till it is on air.EAN touches our soul, the dialogues,songs everything is so hearttouching.Ujaan n Hiya r made for one another,they rock n so does the serial EAN. LOVE U ALL, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Romit sen should play Cupid to Ujaan n Hiya otherwise we'll shoot him.We want to see Ujaan n Hiya in every episode , without them EAN is meaningless. LOVE MOUSHUMI.

RISHI looks stunning in angry image tooo...justlove to see your acting in Ekhane Akash Nil...carry on...
ReplyDeleteHi Rrishii,
ReplyDeleteI watch EAN just for u n Aparajita. The on screen chemistry between u two is Great. Don’t let Romit Sen to come in between u two. Please change your rude nature for your lady love Hiya and profess your love to her before it is too late. A Real Man always makes the first move don’t let ego destroy u ,don’t make Hiya cry so much she is too sweet and nice. You two are so different by nature, well opposite attracts. You are made for one another, no one should shake your determination of achieving your love Hiya. Don’t forget we the fans are in love with Ujaan n Hiya and we want to see them happy together.
The creatives are doing a superb job, but lately the episodes have slowed down a bit please don’t make it like the other serials on air. EAN is DIFFERENT let it remain so.We want EAN to be a Feel Good serial and not a sad and disheartening one. EAN rocks and so Ujaan n Hiya.
I am totally swayed by this Serial because of the "absolute unique" tele serial that has been gifted to us the ... the viewers .I am a viewer who actually had last followed almost all the episodes of Ek Akasher Niche. But EAN had moved me and so had so many viewers. not only because of the storyline and the pasteurization and the way it has been presented, but also of the onscreen chemistry. I must say RrISHi Kaushik (Dr Ujaan Chatterjee) had done a fantastic job to reflect the character. It seems that the 30 mins that view every day glues us to our seats and we wait whats next.Its not a thriller but the expectations that has been built in has resulted in such attitude.I wish all the best to the entire team and request to bring in such serials in near future as well.
ReplyDeleteI want Ujaan and Heya to be back and no Romit ...please don't break our heart...We are waiting for the D Day when you will outpour ur feelings to her...Go for it..
ReplyDeleteHope it wont be long before directors wake up to a talent like Rishii Koushik. His potentials shud be tapped on both small and big screen.Dont think theres any guy around just now with his kind of looks and versatality. Wish him luck.
ReplyDeleteI just love Ekhane AKASH NIL. I lyk Rhishi Kaushik's and Aparajita's acting. the said doctor, Ujaan chatterjee just reaches myheart. I must say, from the month of September, I have fallen in love with him. i want sumone lyk him as my lover. i lyk the sensitiveness, humanity, personality of ujaan and also of Rhishi Kausik. i lyk to meet him.
ReplyDeleteI am badly waiting for the engagement and marriage of Hiya and Ujaan.Let Hiya recover soon and let Ujaan overcome his depression.Recovery or no recovery we want them to tie the knot.The big bad world should know that they are really in love.Ujaan really loves Hiya and how dare does any one term him an opportunist.
ReplyDeleteImmediately have Ritu sacked in EAN.My request to the director.She is a bad example in a nursing home. We want Hiya to be hail n hearty.Pl...ease unite her with Ujaan
ReplyDeleterishii, u are so good looking n so handsom.yor tele show EKHANE AAKASH NEEL is my most favourite teleshow.i am going to meet u as soon as possible in ur set at saregama hmv..............................
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe Rishi kaushik has got everything to make it big in tollywood.And his performance in Ekhane Akash Neel is beyond words.He stuns me when he speaks nothin but expresses every bit through his face.....simply marvellous!!We are dying to see rishi as a lead actor.I hope the directors are listening....watch out for this guy....he is here to stay!!!
ReplyDeleteMyself Sikha a doting gradmother of two,would like to see Ujaan-Hiya share those treasured moments of matrimony in absolute peace and tranquility.Please do not bring any one in between.Hiya needs aline of sindoor on her forehead.Please do not disappoint us.
ReplyDeleteI just love to see ekhane Akahs nil".We don't want any one in between of Hiya and Ujaan.U n Aparajita are mindblowing as an on screen couple. We the fans of EAN urnestly request the creatives to show us more interaction between Ujaan n Hiya. We watch the serial becoz of u two.EAN is a serial different from all the other soaps on air and we all hope it remains so till it is on air.EAN touches our soul, the dialogues,songs everything is so hearttouching.Ujaan n Hiya r made for one another,they rock n so does the serial EAN.
