"the OG of hyperlink films"
16 September 2020
Legend has it that this is the OG of hyperlink films. But more than the fuss, this was an earlier attempt of portraying a family, an extended family as the lead, not anybody specific. I forgot to tell, this is one of the two films Ray made without any literary work but just with a fresh screenplay. And the other one is, this is Ray's first colour film, and the first one in Bengal too. You will enjoy the pockets of Darjeeling and the dialogues between two legends - Chhabi Biswas and Pahari Sanyal. Just one thing annoyed me here is the earlier version of kodachrome - I wished this was shot in black & white films.
