Lok Sabha elections, poll graffiti and wall paintings are becoming common across West Bengal, demonstrating its unmatched power to grab the attention of voters. In Siliguri, a mural by Trinamool Congress portrays a figure resembling Prime Minister Narendra Modi being cautioned by Lord Ram to maintain a safe distance and win the elections on his own merit. Hundreds of miles away in Kolkata's Jadavpur, a graffiti by CPI(M)'s student wing SFI compares TMC to the «demon» of Sandeshkhali and BJP to a «dacoit», urging voters to reject both. Another graffiti by CPI(M), with images of LPG cylinder, reads 'tel theklo satake, gas gelo hazare, bhaktagan mookh kholena bazare' (the price of oil has breached the Rs 100 mark, price of LPG has reached Rs 1,000 but supporters of BJP are silent).

Uttam Kumar during a ride on the Kolkata Metro. The voice announced Kumar's 'comeback' to the big screen in Srijit Mukherji's latest film, Oti Uttam — a neat play of words on the actor's name, and the title which literally means 'Most Excellent'. But what was 'oti' interesting, was that the voice was that of Uttam Kumar. Any Bengali, millennials included, worth his salt and her slice of lime will tell you that the great 'matinee idol' passed away in 1980. They will also tell you how the great man exuded charm and appeal, which is believed to be transcendental. I suspect that the 'Uttam Kumar' voice I heard in the Metro was AI-generated, rather than a manifestation of an elaborate planchette. The main character of Mukherji's film currently playing in theatres is portrayed using old B&W footage featuring Uttam Kumar. The screenwriter-filmmaker painstakingly selected clips and dialogues from 56 of Uttam Kumar's films, and reportedly hired an AI company to 'clone' the actor's voice, even deliver dialogues in this movie that the actor may have never uttered.
