Editor’s Pen

Ray is a phenomenon of Indian cinema. People may criticize him for extravagant exhibition of poverty of the country but no one can doubt his craft. Ray will always remain Ray…

Hello everyone, this edition is a very special edition. First in the series of specials… We are celebrating Satyajit Ray’s Art. Thirty two National Awards, numerous International Awards and an Academy Honorary Award speak volumes about his craft. Not only Kolkata, connoisseurs across the globe are crazy about Ray’s cinema… this edition is a tribute.

Cinema is about depiction of truth and fiction as well. It’s a sneak into the real world and the fantasy… Ray balanced both beautifully. People may blame him for exporting poverty and selling it… but its not justified. If there is poverty, we should have no qualms in accepting it. Why should we hide our world and show an illusion; just to mollify our own guilt. Pathetic!

Ray’s cinema shows what life is and this exhibition of the event called life is too humble and too realistic. He always spoke truth through celluloid and celebrated it honestly. Nobody else had ever shown the true India without any plastic… He never needed a canvas. Life was a canvas for him. Director, writer, cinematographer, graphic artist and a lot more. He was a film industry in himself. He did everything and outperformed everybody else.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone for their generous contribution to this special edition and wish that every time we will get such a great response… rather even better. Thank you…

Warm Wishes…
Sujoy Ghosh
