He Did Have an Incredible Resume
So Long Mr Chowdhry. To debut with Basu Chatterji and then the next year work with Hrishikesh Mukherjee is an envious resume. Loved you in all your films and for once I even asked my father, ‘Is he Peter Sellers?’ RIP! #RanjitChowdhry pic.twitter.com/dNczoZCTeo

Bollywood Lost One of Its Precious Gem
He perfected the nonchalant urban youngster of the 1970s, tad irreverent and quite witty. His conversations with Pearl Padamsee in Baton Baton mein and Dina Pathak in Khoobsurat steered ear of stereotypes of mother-son relationships #RanjitChowdhry https://t.co/rLAjQc5rfh

He Was Always Memorable On-Screen
Ranjit Chowdhry made thinnest of roles memorable - mark of an exceptional actor
He played a shoe-shine guy in Kaalia (1981); a part which barely lasts few minutes; watch the movie once and you won't forget that part as long as you remember the movie
RIP
