As a Ray fan, I thought I liked Kanchenjungha. Actually, I had liked it when I saw it long time ago, in college. But then I recently got to see it again when my wife rented a dvd. It appeared trite, simplistic. The characters hold no wonder or empathy for me any more. I know these characters too well ( not these particular characters, the type of people they are ). Its difficult to explain. The small screen also does damage to the camera-work. But I have seen many other movies in even worse print condition and on smaller screens which I liked, so thats probably not the reason. So the conclusion I come to now is that this is Ray's worst movie. And not just Ray's. It is a bad movie. Unless you are young or curious, avoid it.
