Satyajit Ray The Hall of FAME greatest Indian Directors

The THREE AMIGO'S
SATYAJIT RAY, GURU DUTT, RAJ KAPOOR
The Hall of FAME greatest Indian Directors.(In my opinion)




Ok my Pedigree Chums - Now I know I have kinda been introducing ya dudes to Indian/Bollywood Cinema and ya guys have been asking me about some of my inspiration (I.E Satyajit Ray) and on making Boot Polish. But i really dont know a great deal about Ray as i just watch his films lol:()

Most of you dudes mention his great film Pather Panchali (1955) and the APU Trilogy, and yeah the films perhaps to this day are the best of his work. But What Western dudes perhaps seem to forget is that Mr Ray was not just a one trick pony.

He also had the ability to make Cross Genre films similar to Raj Kapoor & Guru Dutt. Ok they were not as commercially successful in India compared to the Mr Dutt, or Mr Kapoor Films. But my inspiration was not from Pathar Panchali lol.

It was from another film (Below) The Chess Players, perhaps is one of the best structured and beautiful films that Mr Ray made in the 70's. The set design and colour was really really impressive and from what I have learned is that the URDU in the film was accurate and TOP DOG, which is important if you are to depict a film such as this. So dudes Bollywood has a lot of dimensions and its creative! LOL:()


(The Chess Players) Shatranj Ke Khilari (1977)



Wonderful Classical Song by Birju Maharaj. Excellent Performance by Saswati Sen.This song is from Shatranj ke Khilari directed by Satyajit Ray.

I also wanted to include another scene from Satyajit Rays work From Pather Panchali man its emotional lol! Yes im a soft-hearted F***** in real life, but don't tell anyone it ruin my image lol:() The Scene is when the Father comes home and finds out his Daughter had died. It may seem a bit slow lol, but stick with it dudes stick with it. The music and emotions are fantastic - Music score by Ravi Shankar!

Its a beautiful film! Ill try find subtitles as EVEN I cant understand this lol I'm not Bengali lol! But with Ray's work ya dont really need subtitles!
He talks with image and emotion! Enjoy well...... not to enjoy lol CRY!!! :()
