Apu (at first played by Pinaki Sen Gupta, then by Sumiran Ghosjal) grows up in Benares and studies for university.

Reviewed by Chris Tookey


The second part of Satyajit Ray's masterpiece, the Apu trilogy, is a slow but memorable study of a child growing away from his mother and his rural background. Though the least gripping of the three films, it was still voted Best Film at the Venice Film Festival.
