Screenplay of Anik Dutta's film on Satyajit Ray released as a book

After the success and widespread acclaim filmmaker Anik Dutta's Aparajito (The Undefeated) received, the screenplay of the film has been released in the form of a book to commemorate the legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray’s 103rd birth anniversary. The launch took place at his family residence, 1, Bishop Lefroy Road in presence of his son Sandip Ray, the filmmaker, music composer Debojyoti Misra and actor Jeetu Kamal, who stepped into the role of Ray in the film.

“I grew up watching his timeless movies which inspired me to watch more movies. So, when I thought of filming a biographical story, quite naturally the maestro was my only choice. On the birth centenary celebrations, while paying tribute to him, I started conflicting with myself, am I even qualified? Then I decided that the indomitable journey of making his first film Pather Panchali, how it overcame all odds, and eventually put Bengali cinema on the world map, will be the subject of my film”, said director Anik Dutta.

This book will feature reviews published in various publications and shooting stills from different periods of making the film in addition to the full movie script.
