Sonar Kella? I think Sonar Kella is fabulous. And a movie does not have to tackle a heavy topic to be really great. And Sonar Kella is.
Also, you might not have seen Nayak. The best? Probably not, but close. My favourite? Oh yes!
Nice to see Jana Aranya rated high, one of my favourites. And I never managed to really like Devi.
And honestly, I could fight for Pikoo, I could fight for Aparajito, for Kapurush, for Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne and Hirak Rajar Deshe (ah, and so was childhood...), and i would have fought as vehemantly for Jalsaghar have you left it out, or Kanchenjungha.
I absolutely love Ray. I agree with the people above who question the absence of Aparajito. I think it is superbly under-rated. Having said this, I must say, it is your list of your top 10 Apu movies, so why question it huh :D
I saw Devi recently, and while it was rather slow, it was very forward for its times, and Sharmila Tagore was brilliant.
dont you think Devi features even in the top 10? just curious...
ReplyDeleteThanks, you have broken your silence.

ReplyDeleteDevi's sneak peak . Its not a full review but yes, gives you a starter.
