Recently I have seen a few film of them my favourite film is "Pather Panchali". Bibhuti bhusan Bondhapadhya worte the story of film and its detector was Satyajit Roy. "Pather Panchali" means something like a saga of life. It is not a novel narrated film in the comentional sense. It is a narration of day to day life of a poor village family on screen. The story deals with a poor village boy Apu who had to struggle a lot to overcome his poverty and suffering. Durga, Harihar and Sarbajaya are the other chief characters of this film. Harihar father of Apu was a poor village priest. Apu's sister Durga met a premature death. Apu could not forget his sister. From this story Satyajit Roy created superb film. He did not neglected any details. It's music composed by Ravi Shankar was also superb. I felt sympathy for the family. The film has universal appeal. To me it is not a film. It is a classic poem of life on screen.
My favourite film is this.
