Virat T @virattt Aug 14 This is like one of the best film I have ever seen in my life, the cinematography is just insanely good and I just can't believe that it's subrata mitra's debut film. Satyajit Ray and Mitra are the absolute goats of "show, don't tell," letting the visuals do all the heavy lifting. This is like the most underrated masterpiece i ever saw. Satyajit ray just made this masterpiece and no one even talks about it. See more Pramit B @pramit Aug 12 It's arguably one of the best films of all time. Wonderfully acted, directed, and written. Score was beautiful as well. Absolute must watch. See more Cinema S @cinema_sensei Aug 7 Satyajit Ray set the bar incredibly high with The Apu Trilogy, and Pather Panchali remains my favorite. Nothing here begs for your attention, yet everything quietly stays with you. Its simplicity never feels ordinary; every glance, silence, and small moment carries emotion. A beautiful reminder that the simplest lives can hold the deepest stories. See more Prosenjit B @prosenjit08 Apr 24 I still remember watching Pather Panchali on a rented VCD. It did not feel like just a film, it felt like poetry moving quietly on screen. The beautifully directed movie by Satyajit Ray has briliant background score from Pt Ravi Shankar. The cinematography is equally brilliant. The scene of running to see the train running though vast Kaash field is iconic. The shot of them running and also seeing them from the other side of the railway line. And then there is that moment when Apu discovers the chain that was lost, we can assume that Durga did steal it, he picks it and quietly throws it into the pond. The camera shows ripples and the sinking chain which signifies swallow the secret, as if the water itself agrees to bury pain and memory. Then we see a scene of Apu's family leaving and then the snake glides into the empty house says everything without words. Life has moved on, sorrow has settled, and nature has reclaimed what was left behind. See more Abubakkar S @RT67114587 Nov 19 It feels like a mirror is showing us our lives.
