Aparajito
Aparajito picks up where the first film leaves off, with Apu and his family having moved away from the country to live in the bustling holy city of Varanasi (then known as Benares). As Apu progresses from wide-eyed child to intellectually curious teenager, eventually studying in Kolkata, we witness his academic and moral education, as well as the growing complexity of his relationship with his mother. This tenderly expressive, often heart-wrenching film, which won three top prizes at the Venice Film Festival, including the Golden Lion, not only extends but also spiritually deepens the tale of Apu. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 1996.

‘Aparajito’ is the second film of director Satyajit Ray’s Apu series. The films from that trilogy are connected but standalone (you don’t have to watch all 3 and not necessary to watch them in order). The first film (Pather Panchali) covered the childhood of Apu from birth to the end of chil More

Oh, poor Apu!
_Aparajito_ perfectly captures the bittersweet struggle of growing up, a universal experience we can all empathize with. The delicate balance between protecting loved ones and the irresistible urge to break free is at play. Young Apu, brimming with ambitious ideas fueled by his new More
