Aparajito : The Undefeated storytelling of making of a masterpiece.
It has been a very long time that I have seen a Bengali movie in a big screen and "Aparajito"(the Undefeated) is such a movie that will touch every cinephile who is familiar with the legendary Satyajit Ray. It is one of those rare experiences where tears are meant to make you feel proud. Anik Dutta with the whole cast and crew has nailed the coffin and made us revisit the concept of neorealism which is sadly still not relevant in the Indian celluloid. Like David Fincher's Mank which revolves around the making of Citizen Kane, Aparajito revolves around the making of Pather Padabali (the Ballad of the Road) by director Aparajito Ray (Jeetu Kamal). Being heavily inspired from the incidents of the Satyajit's Ray road to making "Pather Panchali" (Song of the Little Road, first film of the series of "The Apu Trilogy") , it meticulously follows Aparajito's struggles and his journey of changing the cinematic culture of India in 60's and 70'
