Audience Member This is my favorite of all the Ray films Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best depictions of life in calcutta in the 70 to 80s . Desperate times call for desperate measures as a meritorous student is drawn into brokery in lack of job . Ray subtetly potrays the intricacies of confrontation of father vs son young vs old politics vs daily life and honesty vs establishment . The symbolism employed by Ray such as the banana peel or the opening drawer show why he is the best filmaker in terms of human psychology. Special mention goes to Utpall dutt and Rabi ghosh. Rabi ghosh gives one of the most memorable performances of a high level broker whose rough body language is the way to success. ps- somewhere i feel Mr. wolf in pulp fiction may have been inspired by this character. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member When the protagonist of the movie, Mr. Banerji is seen go through the patch that he has to, it breaks one heart, especially those who have managed to stand up for themselves.. Just when a straight man does the job, society grips him from all ends, to pull him down, and thats what hits straight when one sees this movie..
