Supreme Court remarks on bail denial order may give ray of hope to Umar Khalid

Published by Parlour News

The Supreme Court’s critical observation on the denial of bail to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) scholar and Delhi riots accused Umar Khalid could brighten his prospects of challenging the decision against him by filing a curative petition,a member of Khalid’s legal team said. The January 5 judgment had rejected bail pleas filed by Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the Delhi riots conspiracy case while granting relief to five co-accused.

Editor’s Take – Revisiting The Genius of Satyajit Ray: Five Films and Infinite Emotions

Editor’s Take – Revisiting The Genius of Satyajit Ray: Five Films and Infinite Emotions

Published by Parlour News

What’s left to say about Satyajit Ray. That he was a seminal influence on every filmmaker in the country whether they admit it or not. For me, it’s the moving images and the simple storytelling. While the world praised Pather Panchali, my heart went out to Apu and Aparna in Apur Sansar. To their little quaint but tragic love story culminating in little Kajol. My heart goes out and hums Ami Chini Go Chini Tomare with the beautiful Madhabi Mukherjee and one of the best actors in the world, Soumitra Chatterjee in Charulata. To the shenanigans of those friends in the jungle in Aranyer Din Ratri who learn uncomfortable truths in pristine natural surroundings. And of course, my personal favourites Mahanagar, Devi and Nayak. Nayak for “Ektu bastobikotaar obhaab,” the bespectacled Sharmila (Tagore) in a fine performance sneering at Uttam Kumar and his world of movies.z Happy birthday, Mr. Satyajit Ray. There’s so much you gave us. Your economy of expression, your shot taking, your dialogue, the actors you gave us. The world of Bengali …

Editor’s Take – Inside Manik and I: Bijoya Ray’s Intimate Portrait of Satyajit Ray

Editor’s Take – Inside Manik and I: Bijoya Ray’s Intimate Portrait of Satyajit Ray

Published by Parlour News

50 years living with a genius may not have been easy but it must have definitely been memorable. The late Bijoya Ray’s biography, Manik and I, gives you a fairly candid ringside view of what life must have been being married to a genius like Satyajit Ray. Being his first cousin, their courtship in the ’40s was conducted in utmost secrecy over 8 years – a hush hush marriage in Bombay where she was a fledgling actress. And through it all, family disapproval. Bijoya or Monku, as she was fondly called, passed away in 2015. Her memoir was serialised in a Bengali magazine and this book is that translation. Told simply but lucidly, it’s like a drawing room conversation with your favourite “pishi” over luchi and maangsho about the couple’s various European travels, her various health problems, her shopping sojourns, the numerous awards her husband won including the lifetime achievement Oscar. For me, the most interesting parts were her childhood days spent in Bihar, the sudden loss of her father and the courtship with Ray. …
