@fred roy lol....

It's already conserved and yet again it was done by the West...

@@kaustabpaul4514 had to take a dig at Hindus didn't you?

You can check out Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen. They too are among greatest Indian directors from Bengal

This thought emerges because you obviously don't have any idea about Dada Saheb Phalke!! Yes Ray and other Bengalis have been great in filmmaking and art. But Mumbai is because of Dada Saheb and Prithviraj!! Also the first Indian Movie was 1913 in Mumbai and 1918 in Bengal

Yeah it's a shame

Ray would have hated the current state of Kolkata and bengal

No kolkata has lost it sheen....reason overconfidence...

Sid Smith Sort of like Irish and Salvs are Europeans too

Dude Calcutta is in india And bengali is an Indian language He is Indian India has 1200 languages and dilects spoken across.

@@shuktikanirmal6121 Bengali is not an Indian language. Sure, we used to be a part of the same sub-continent, but Bengali is Not an Indian language. You're confusing the Indian states with Bangladesh as a country. To claim that Bengali is an Indian language would be as ridiculous as claiming that Bangladesh is a part of India. The modern Bengali language was derived from Sanskrit. Sanskrit was the Indian sub-continent's original mother language. It dates back to 1000BC. During the Mughal era, West Bengal, Assam, Tripura and Meghalaya were a part of "Bangla" or "Bangal". Although there was no such thing as Bangladesh back then, that portion of of the sub-continent was known as Bangla. People in those regions still speak Bengali to this day. During the British period, they divided the Indian sub-continent into countries and in the process, we lost a huge portion of our land which would otherwise be known as a part of modern day Bangladesh. So to sum it up, people from those regions are known as "Bangali" and not "Bangladeshi". But do not mistake them as purely Indians. I've noticed how people always try to divide the two nations over silly arguments. And please never claim Bangla as an Indian language again.

@@beefsoup3684 i am from west bengal..i am glad we are not with so called mainland (lol) bengal..you did not loose your land you guys went for religion..and at last you mentioned some "silly argument"..would like to inform you yours comes under that section..peace out🤟🏻

@@RJ-un2xh if anyone went for religion, it was the Indians. You didn’t want to live alongside Muslims. Your own prime minister is a xenophobic man.

no body is forcing it but only you are telling it.try to play his movies sometimes and see how he reflected our culture to the world and how he paid tribute to our country.

LOL Satyajit Ray has won an Oscar for his lifetime achievement in 1992. Though i hardly care about the Oscars. But it should ring a bell. Lets come to national award which is the most prestigious in India. He has won 32 in various category. Then comes his legacy which is unmatched.Nobody in Indian film industry has even comes close to him. Martin Scorsese campaigned so hard that he could get this Oscar. He rallied his close buddies Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and others, which set the ball rolling in Mr. Ray's favor. This event is just one event. He continues to spread the word about Mr. Ray's films. Just stop being ignorant and lazy and start watching his films.

Neither are 99 percent of the crap made in Bollywood.

Marvel is a theme park

Batman pfp lol

Avik Basu yes...May be he don't know

Idiots 😂

Don't get too excited brother. Sabko pata hai ye baat. You are comparing a great to kids.

That's like comparing Fellini to Snyder

there is a lot of difference between Ray & others you are talking about...they are just leagues apart ----its like comparing suresh raina to sachin Tendulkar!!please watch his films first & try to understand the difference between Bollywood commercial filmmaking & ray's artistry.i'm sorry but the comment 'equally great directors' speaks volumes about your shallow understanding of films!!

Abhishek Ganguly very much truly said! I agree.

Dharma View....you made me laugh really hard after a long time....either you didn't watch Ray or may be you are too naive to distinguish great from the ordinary

@abhishek and sandip : just curious why is he leagues apart. Technically speaking why do you think that?

Because no one is as versatile as Ray... @Dharma View

Thr people saw.India s poor but proud face SATYAJIT RAY HIMSELF SAID HIS FILMS ARENOT FOR MASSES

@JagdishAcharya...maybe your view of ray films is limited to pather panchali and apu trilogy thats why you are commenting on the poverty one...you should check out his Calcutta anthology films...where he shows the state of the urban youth ..part from this the film 'Nayak'...a psychological journey of a movistar...Gupi Bagha films-a fantastical and social journey of two musicians...and many other ones....dont make a loose ended comment just on a certain stereotype and half baked knowledge

Is there any measuring apparatus ?

Nobody does . Satyajit Ray was better

u say so...what does everyone else say....and what do i say ???

Opinion varies from person to person. It would be futile to engage in such a debate.
