Watched 'Aranye Din Ratri' a few days back . Whoa ! i was simply bowled over ... How can ne 1 make a movie of that kind , a movie so not like a movie .... Its the best movie ever made by Satyajit Ray ...

I still go weak in my knees at the very sight of Soumitra Chatterjee (he's my grandpa's age) ... And he looked simply stunning in that movie ... AT times i feel that bengali actors of such calibre should have got the recognition they deserved . I mean Amitabh Bachchan's name is known by every one under the bule sky . They should watch Soumitra ,Rabi Ghosh ,Uttam Kumar .... Man it was some movie ...

The movie was about 4 friends from Calcutta who goes on a trip to the jungles of Palamau .. they want to break all ties with civilization .Rabi Ghosh (aka Shekhar) burns a Statesman and says that they no longer have any connection with the civilized socielty ...

The tribals of India are so deprived . they live in utter poverty ... They have no idea of the developements that's taking place around them , in the very land which they are a part of . and out of this sheer negligence and deprivation ,terrorism takes birth ...

Satyajit Ray has potrayed this in such a subtle manner ... Soumitra bribes the poor caretaker of the forest bunglow to get themselves a room as they had no prior reservation and thanks 'Corruption' for succeeding in persuading the caretaker .

Our generation goes GA- GA over movies like 'Dil chahta Hai '.But with all due respect to Farhan Akhtar ,'Aranye Din Ratri ' is the father of the former. it is also based on the lives of 4 guys but it delivers a message ,shows the real India and the real Indians (poor and deprived -budding terrorists) ...

If anybodu reads this blog of mine I request the same to watch the movie ... It has Eng subtitiles for non bongs to follow ....
