उत्तर
The words of his mentor made Patol Babu realise that no role was too small for a true actor and it was his duty to squeeze out the last drop of meaning from his lines. He therefore rehearsed his dialogue whole heartedly adding different expressions to it every time he uttered it. He noticed the different emotions which could be expressed through a single word. He used this knowledge while enacting his part, even matching the pitch of his voice to produce the desired effect. Finally, he delivered his dialogue mixing fifty parts of anguish with twenty-five parts of surprise and twenty-five parts of irritation. Thus, in this manner, Patol Babu won the admiration of the director with his hard work and dedication.
