Happy birthday ma :D Shipra Sen Today in history the greatest Indian movie ever made Pather Panchali--- Song of the Road was released to the world. Pather Panchali was released in a Calcutta cinema on 26 August 1955 and received a poor initial response. A delay in subtitling led to the postponement of the UK release until December 1957. It went on to achieve great success in the US in 1958, running for eight months at the Fifth Avenue Playhouse in New York. In the vast spectrum of film history, its difficult to pinpoint precisely where the ceiling stands for the mediums fullest realization of potential. Many a maestro have undertaken ambitious stabs at creating immense behemoths of cinematic pièces de resistance, but so few were able to capture the depth of beauty inherent in the poetic simplicity of Satyajit Rays Pather Panchali. Theres a limited setting, only a few characters, and a story line too simple to even aptly summarize. But its dreamy realism quickly compels one into insouciance of this matter, as youre drawn into this third world village as if youve lived there all your life. banglasweets.wordpress/2012/06/04/pather-panchali-and-mishti/
