Wissenswertes
Halfway through filming, Ray ran out of funds. The Government of West Bengal loaned him the rest, allowing him to complete the film. This loan is listed in public records at the time as "roads improvement", a nod to the film's translated title.

Patzer
Although the film is set in early 20th-century rural India (a time in which public health campaigns presumably did not exist), when Apu and Durga are shown hiding in the fields waiting to catch a glimpse of the train, a vaccination mark is clearly visible on the right arm of Uma Das Gupta, who portrays Durga.

Zitate
Durga: Come close.
Apu: What?
Durga: We'll go see the train when I'm better, all right? We'll get there early and have a good look. You want to?

Alternative Versionen
There is an Italian edition of this film on DVD, re-edited with the contribution of film historian Riccardo Cusin. This version is also available for streaming on some platforms.

What a story!

I have just finished Pather Panchali. To be honest, it took almost two weeks to watch it. Not only interruptions, but the shear poverty of the individuals--the family--is overwhelming. Each member exhibits their poverty and destitution in a different way. My favorite character is Durga, who gives and gives until she reaches the point where she is tired of not receiving.

I will forever remember this movie, and I hope to watch the other two parts of the trilogy.

I have to have this film in my collection. Movies that make you think and think again, and search your heart for answers that sometimes never come.
