Aparajito Review

"Aparajito"  is an Indian Bengali-language biographical film written and directed by Anik Dutta. It was released on 13 May 2022. Set in the mid-1950s, ""Aparajito - The Undefeated"" is the film about a young filmmaker Aparajito Ray, his journey and hurdles faced during the making of his first full-length feature film, Pather Podaboli which is a popular Bengali eponymous novel written by Bibhutibhushan Mukhopadhyay. Considering the fact that the whole movie is shot in black and white, it brings such 60s-70s old vibes. The director has successfully dramatized the journey of Ray as well as shown expertise in documenting quite well. Talking about the acting part, Jeetu Kamal as in the role of Aparajito Ray did his best. He effortlessly adapted Ray's mannerisms and his appealing personality. Supratim Bhol has done a fantastic job with his camera in the film. These small perfections make a movie great. Definitely, it's worth watching.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The first Indian film to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Ray, who was attending the festival, was utterly flabbergasted as he felt that the film contained some serious flaws.

Although the Apu films exist as a cohesive trilogy, Satyajit Ray never set out to make a series of three films. In fact, even after completing "Aparajito", he was unsure whether there was sufficient material to warrant a third film.

Much of Apu's story here is actually autobiographical regarding Satyajit Ray's own personal experiences. When Apu goes to Calcutta where he finds work and lodging with a printer, this is Ray directly reliving his youth, when he lived above his grandfather's printing press.

This adaptation of Bibhutibhushan Bannerjee's work uses the last section from his novel "Pather Panchali" and the first section of its sequel, "Aparajito".

Rated as one of the best 100 films of all time by the Time Magazine in 2005.

Popular Dialogues

"Sarbojaya Ray: What is there at Keoratola? Apu: [sleepily] Burning hot... Sarbojaya Ray: What? Apu: They have cremations. Sarbojaya Ray: I see... I hope you're careful on the roads. When are your finals? After that you can get a job and I'll stay with you. Will you have me? Will that ever be, I wonder? Who knows how long one has to live? Suppose I fall seriously ill... I'm not so well as I used to be. In the evenings I'm often feverish, I've no appetite. I thought of telling you... but I couldn't. I don't suppose you'd leave college to look after me, would you? Would you use your earnings to pay for me to have treatment? Why don't you answer me... Apu!"

"Sarbojaya Ray: Did you see the monkey outside? Harihar Ray: Did a monkey get inside? Sarbojaya Ray: I meant your precious son."
