Fiction: Feluda 2.0

Feluda woke up feeling disoriented. He looked around only to find that he was lying on a huge bed. He found that he was in his room but the room was different from the one he was accustomed to. It had a flat black screen on the wall that looked quite similar to the screens in cinema halls just smaller in size. The room had a plushier sofa than the ones he was used to sitting in.

The legendary director pays little heed to the brouhaha over the Rs 100-crore or Rs 500-crore box office collections of the present crop of movies. He said, “The public is easily swayed by the publicity blitz. They feel, if a film has made Rs 200 crore, it must be good.

A Past is Present in the Future

What happens to the great banyan tree, lying in a vacant spot in our garden? Don’t we look up to it in awe and derive inspiration from it?

The Creative Process Behind Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne

Every film had its own film book which he fondly referred to as ‘Kheror Khata’. These red cloth-bound books are nothing short of treasure troves that give us marvelous insights into the mind of a genius.

Kanchenjunga: Ray Banned

Kanchenjunga was not originally set in the hills. Satyajit originally located this in a picnic spot in the outskirts of Calcutta and named it Baganbari, i.e. a country house. It was only after a series of recce in the northern fringes of Calcutta failed that he – in a moment of epiphany – decided to relocate it to Darjeeling.
