excitement. The story
highlights how personal
satisfaction and self-
respect come from doing
a job well, even if it is
small or goes unnoticed
by others. It emphasizes
that true fulfillment
comes from the effort
and dedication one puts
into their work, rather
than external rewards or
fame.
Title: The title Potol
Babu, Film Star is
significant because it
highlights the irony
and transformation
in the protagonist's
journey. While the
term "film star"
typically evokes
images of fame and
glamour, Potol Babu
is given a minor role
with only one word of
dialogue in a film.
However, his sincere
dedication to the
role, despite its
insignificance,
elevates him to a true
"star" in his own
right. The title
reflects how personal
passion and
commitment can
lead to self-
fulfillment,
regardless of external
recognition or fame,
emphasizing the
dignity in every small
endeavor.
