Bengali Cinema is known for ahead of time masterpieces that often come out to be greater than anything which can be compared with.
One of India’s first and world’s finest filmmakers Satyajit Ray is one name who will always fly at the top in the list of great Indian filmmakers. Not only was he an extraordinary filmmaker but also a prolific writer whose contribution to Bengali literature is a milestone to reach.
Aparajito celebrates the story of Satyajit Ray while making Pather Panchali. No doubt, every cinephile knows that the movie is one of the greatest films of all time but little do they know that the making of the film was no less extraordinary.
Also, Aparajito is the name of a 1956 film by Ray himself which is a part of the famous Apu trilogy.
Regardless, Anik Dutta made a film about the same story which got released this year itself. Surprisingly, this new Aparajito is a pure masterpiece and no cinephile should miss it.
It received an immensely positive response from the critics and audience alike. Jeetu Kamal, the leading man nailed his role to perfection so much so that even Shyam Benegal couldn’t help but sing praises for him.
There were a few tweaks in the film, like Pather Panchali was renamed to Pather Padabali and so on.
But if one knows the story of Ray then it shouldn’t come as a hurdle.
But the most important information is about the OTT release date.
Aparajito (2022) will be available to stream on Zee5 from 25th August.
