The event was anchored by filmmaker Sudeshna Ray.
Starmark in association with Harper Collins Publishers, India launched the book at the Quest Mall outlet of the lifestyle store.
Raima Sen, the grand daughter of Suchitra Sen, at the launch said: "I am waiting to read the book and as far Shoma-di [writer Shoma A Chatterji] is concerned I can just say thank you. It is an honour and I'm glad to be here and celebrate my grand mother's life."
Moon Moon Sen said: "It's a very intelligent book and people will study it, but of course I wanted a coffee table,book too."
