SATYAJIT RAY’S HEROES AND HEROIENS (PB)

Satyajit Ray first placed
India on the map of world cinema with his 1955-classic Pather Panchali. In a
career spanning nearly four decades and including twenty-seven feature films,
Ray is undoubtedly the most-known Indian film-maker till date. It will probably
not be an exaggeration to state that in Indian cinema Ray’s profiling of
characters and his casting acumen resulted in some of the best on-screen
performances it has ever seen. This book examines some of the most memorable
characters put up by the maverick on the silver screen.
