Aparajito
Aparajito ("ÔporajitoThe Unvanquished") is a 1956 Indian Bengali drama film written and directed by Satyajit Ray (1921–1992), and is the second part of "The Apu Trilogy".
It is adapted from the last one-fifth of Bibhutibhushan Bannerjee's novel "Pather Panchali" (1929) and the first one-third of its sequel "Aparajito" (1932).
It starts off where the previous film "Pather Panchali" (1955) ended, with Apu's family moving to Varanasi, and chronicles Apu's life from childhood to adolescence in college, right up to his mother's death, when he is left all alone.
When Ray started making "Pather Panchali", he had no plans of following it up with a sequel.
The critical and commercial success of the film prompted him to start making "Aparajito".
Unlike his previous venture, where he stayed faithful to the novel, Ray took some bold artistic decisions here, such as portraying the relationship between Apu and his mother in a very different manner from the book.
As a result, in contrast to its predecessor, the film was not received well locally; Ray recalled that "as for the suburban audience, it was shocked by the portrayal of the mother and son relationship, so sharply at variance with the conventional notion of mutual sweetness and devotion".
Critical reception outside of India, however, was overwhelmingly positive.
It won 11 international awards, including the Golden Lion and Critics Award at the Venice Film Festival, becoming the first ever film to win both.
Veteran film-maker Mrinal Sen said he considers it to be one of the best Indian movies he had ever seen.
Bosley Crowther said that "It is done with such rare feeling and skill at pictorial imagery, and with such sympathetic understanding of Indian character on the part of Mr. Ray, that it develops a sort of hypnotism for the serene and tolerant viewer."
The critical acclaim this movie received encouraged Ray to make another sequel, "Apur Sansar" (1959), which was equally well received, and thus concluded one of the most critically acclaimed movie trilogies of all time, as Roger Ebert later pointed out—"The three films ... swept the top prizes at Cannes, Venice and London, and created a new cinema for India — whose prolific film industry had traditionally stayed within the narrow confines of swashbuckling musical romances.
Never before had one man had such a decisive impact on the films of his culture."

Pather Panchali
Pather Panchali is a 1955 Indian Bengali- language drama film written and directed by Satyajit Ray and produced by the Government of West Bengal.
It is based on Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay's 1929 Bengali novel of the same name and is Ray's directorial debut.
It features Subir Banerjee, Kanu Banerjee, Karuna Banerjee, Uma Dasgupta and Chunibala Devi.
The first film in" The Apu Trilogy Pather Panchali" depicts the childhood of the protagonist Apu( Subir Banerjee) and his elder sister Durga( Uma Dasgupta) and the harsh village life of their poor family.
Production was interrupted because of funding problems and it took nearly three years for the film to be completed.
The film was shot mainly on location, had a limited budget, featured mostly amateur actors, and was made by an inexperienced crew.
The sitar player Ravi Shankar composed the film's soundtrack and score using classical Indian ragas.
Subrata Mitra was in charge of the cinematography while editing was handled by Dulal Dutta.
Following its premiere on 3 May 1955 during an exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art," Pather Panchali" was released in Calcutta later the same year to an enthusiastic reception.
A special screening was attended by the Chief Minister of West Bengal and the Prime Minister of India.
Critics have praised its realism, humanity, and soul- stirring qualities while others have called its slow pace a drawback, and some have condemned it for romanticising poverty.
Scholars have commented on the film's lyrical quality and realism( influenced by Italian neorealism), its portrayal of the poverty and small delights of daily life, and the use of what the author Darius Cooper has termed the" epiphany of wonder", among other themes.
The tale of Apu's life is continued in the two subsequent installments of Ray's trilogy:" Aparajito The Unvanquished", 1956) and" Apur Sansar The World of Apu", 1959).
" Pather Panchali" is described as a turning point in Indian cinema, as it was among the films that pioneered the Parallel Cinema movement, which espoused authenticity and social realism.
The first film from independent India to attract major international critical attention, it won India's National Film Award for Best Feature Film in 1955, the Best Human Document award at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival, and several other awards, establishing Ray as one of the country's most distinguished filmmakers.
It is often featured in lists of the greatest films ever made.
