I was 14 when I watched "Aparajito" and I still remember weeping irrepressibly as the film eventually resonated in my heart and mind forever. Unarguably, the greatest film of all-time, its like a celestial creation. How humane a man can be, how perfect a man can be, how realistic a man can be.....I often think when I watch Satyajit Ray's films. I have seen masterpieces by Kurosawa, Federico Fellini, Bergman, Orson Welles, Michelangelo Antonioni and the likes, but Satyajit Ray's films stands so different and unique from them. How does he manage to craft such films? Aparajito is a universal film that celebrates human compassion and strive. A simple story, just like Pather Panchali, told with utmost perfection and craftsmanship, I have no words to describe this chef d'oeuvre. I believe anyone who is associated with cinema, directly or remotely, should watch this film at least once in their lifetimes. It is a kind of movie that will always stay with you forever.
