"Rasik," "Poornamasi," "Madhukar," "Terror," "Bishahar," "Charampatra," "Nikhil's Dark Bird," and other books by Mukherjee are well-known. His book "Ai Man Bharte Jaabi," which was about Ramprasad and his time, was called a classic. Several of his stories, which had different themes from one to the next, were turned into movies.

In the 1990s, his novel "Rasik" told the sad stories of Purulia-Manbhum's dance life in a positive way. It showed the tradition of Jhumur songs, regional differences in language and manners, and gave this tale an epic twist. Long after Tarashankar's "Hansuli Banker Upaktha," this book was still able to shake Bengali readers to their core. This book, which was released by Granthakar in 1991, won him the Bankim Award.

"Madhukar" is another one of his best books. It has a wide range of topics and makes a new point about the lives of people in Balagarh who make a living by making boats. His other works, like "Tanthras," "Poornamasi," "Altapata," "Bishahar," and "Virasana," are also different because they cover a wide range of topics. In 2012, 'Virasan' earned him the Sahitya Akademi Award.

Subrata Mukhopadhyay was a great writer, and he also had a big heart. He told other writers how much he liked their written stories and how much he believed in them. He even tried to get their work published in good newspapers. He was shy, but he was a great talker and joker. In literary chats like "Budhasandhya" and "Galpapath," he entertained people with stories, jokes, and Daraz songs. He loved music a lot, and many of his books had characters who were songs about love and affairs.
