Purely Joyful Movie!

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

If you didn't watched the apur trilogy.i recommend to don't watch this movie.it's a remake of apu trilogy.full of spoiler.sorry for my bad English. review of apur trilogy-it's a tale joy of and tragedy, unmatched in its beauty and profound emotion. Satyajit Ray's final film in the Apu trilogy ranks with King Vidor's "The Crowd" and Carl Theodor Dreyer's "Ordet" as a cinema landmark of family life. But it far exceeds those films in its visual poetry. Apu's journey with a friend and his unplanned marriage sets the stage for a story of domestic life in all its simple joy and awful despair. The serene, contented beauty of the girl is a soaring vision, matched in its humanity only by the broken heart of Apu when she dies. The pages of an unfinished novel, a life's work floating in the mountain air like the seeds of a dandelion, become the symbol of Apu's devastation. The rebirth of life and hope realized in the child illustrates a fundamental belief of Hinduism. Beautifully photographed and edited, "The World of Apu" is a masterpiece of film as narrative storytelling. It is the most "Indian" of all Indian films.

First of all accolade for Kaushik Ganguly for creating this masterpiece. A life story told/depicted in such a brilliant manner; such that it has turned out to be an unforgettable cinematic experience...a milestone in not only Bengali cinema but in world cinema as a whole. Watching 'Apur Panchali' is like regressing back to the world of Satyajit Ray...reliving those characters, those moments after almost 60 years. Now that's quite a magical experience indeed! I have watched many a movies of Kaushik Ganguly and he is no doubt a fantastic director. But with 'Apur Panchali' he has made his mark as one of the greatest. He definitely deserves the Silver Peacock award! Everything been sublime with Apur Panchali..say it the direction, the casting, the casts' performance and most remarkably that (recreated) background score..its simply fantabulous! Over all, a never to miss, a perfect once in a lifetime creation that you would like to cherish in your heart for ages just like Ray's Apu Trilogy. Moviewise 9 and +1 for Kaushik Ganguly....for gifting us this wonderful piece of cinema after a long long time

First I want to praise Koushik Ganguly for his effort of bringing Apu again in the world of movies. We all know Apu as a character in Satyajit Ray's "Pather Panchali". But in the movie we can see that Apu is not only a character, he is a boy, a boy we can find in every corner of our villages who grew up among the paddy fields and struggle in their lives when they lose their close ones. Mr. Ganguly also focused on the life of a famous child actor who was once famous but with time gets forgotten and with that the effect of that past fame in his life. But here Subir Banerjee's(the actor who played Apu in "Pather Panchali") life is compared with the life of Satyjit Ray's Apu by showing few clips of "Pather Panchali" and "Apur Sansar" in the movie. Mr. Ganguly brilliantly compared their lives and surprisingly their lives were same in multiple aspects. And also hats off to the actors specially Parambrata Banerjee who played the role of young Subir Banerjee. Of all the scenes in the movie I liked the scene when Subir mistakenly enters in the film set of a movie when he saw a child actor acting in the movie. The fact that he still misses the famous child actor in himself was brilliantly represented. Also I like to mention the scene where he hears the news of his wife's suicide in his Boss' telephone. But i felt that the representation of present day Subir Banerjee was not that good(considering the overall quality of the film). And the transition between the scenes of this film and "Pather Panchali" could have been done in a slight better way. In the end I want to congratulate Koushik Ganguly for successfully making a film based on a new and interesting concept in a brilliant way and setting a milestone in the world of movies(specially Bengali movies).

The beautification of this movie has increased by showing three different but related stories simultaneously and I am pretty sure it was a very tough job to edit a movie like this. As the name reveals, the story is about the forgotten hero of Pather Panchali's "Apu" whose real life name is Subir Banerjee. It shows how a movie changed his life and the uncanny similarity between Apu and Subir Banerjee.All actors of this movie did awesome job, it is hard to compare them, Ardhendu, Param, Parno, all of them were superb. But the most beautiful part was the story telling process, kudos to Kaushik Ganguly for such a movie and personally I feel this movie should be considered as a landmark in bengali movie history.
