Dev and Jeet are doing the same type of roles since last few years and box office report of their films indicate that in 2013 also they will act in same type of characters and films. Prasenjit is doing experiments with his roles and still moving very strong, so we can expect more critical roles from him in 2013.
So far as actresses are concerned, first of all the name of Swastika Mukherjee comes. Swastika is doing different type of roles successfully. Koel Mallick maintained her romantic image. Rituparna Sengupta is still the number one heroine in Bengali films. Paoli Dam may get a solid platform in Bengali film industry in 2013 through her acting talent. Roopa Ganguly is now doing that type of roles which suits her age. More expectations from Roopa in 2013 from Bengali film audiences.
In 2013, trends in Bengali films will be both commercial romantic films and novel based films as both have gained popularity in 2012.
