Satyajit Ray Movies

Born in a South-India, I have a lived in Kolkata (Calcutta) for 3 years and can understand Bengali very well. Lately i have developed likings for Satyajit Ray movies esp Feluda. He is a detective by profession and can solve mysteries like Sherlock Holmes. I have seen all the Feluda movies directed by Satyajit Ray and his son Sandip Ray. JaiBaba Felunath is one master piece that I really liked.

Satyajit Ray is one master director. During his days Film technology was not that much great, but he managed to create movies that conveys social meanings in his movies. He is a great writer and story teller. I also happened to watch his another master pieces - 3 daughters. In this movie there are 3 different stories and the epicenter of all the three stories are women. I particularly liked one story, where a women is passionate about her jewels. She runs away with her jewels after her husband goes away to make up for the losses in his business. While running away, her boat overturns and she dies. Her husband is not aware of this and gets her a necklace which she wanted for a very long time from him. The story ends, when the wife ghost comes back to take the necklace from her husband and the husband also follows her to the eternity.
