"A film about changing films"- describes the film perfectly, it shows how an ordinary filmophile can make a film different from all the conventions and change the vision towards film forever. The film is not only about how Ray made a masterpiece but also about himself.
The film deals intelegently with all the topics with many subtle comedic dialogues which is not forced upon. It is not an event by event documentary but a storyline that portrays the journey very swiftly and beautifully. It will give you a nostalgic feel with added back stories. Many untold story is shown, some of which is very shocking and interesting. Cinematography is as usual very lively, the type we see in Anik Dutta. Casting is the main USP of this film, almost every character fits perfectly, the makover department has done a very good job. Music is also very subtle yet powerful and well placed in the scenes.
Now coming to acting, Jeetu is just outstanding and mind-blowing, his resemblances is just spot on, but that is not all, his acting, expressions, body language and posture us just uncanny. The person who did the voice reconstruction for the role is something that will be recorded in history. Coming to negative points, there are some side scenes mainly the public scenes are a little bit loose, although it is common in most of Bengali movies.
Anyway this movie is worth watching in every way.

It would take ages and decades to realize how remarkably talented Mr. Ray was! Satyajit Ray isn't just a name but an emotion to millions of Bengali_s as well as Indians. I am sure, people would have failed to accept just any other actor playing this character. I would say Jeetu kamal is the best invention of the century. The movie, the direction, how the story was arranged, realistic aspect- everything was beyond expectation. It is hard to express the experience in words. Good job team.

Best tribute to the legend of all legends in Indian Cinema - Satyajit Ray. Congratulations Anik Dutta & Team. Splendid work. Jitu Kamal what an acting, special mention to that person who did the voice over for him. Sandip Ray, with all due respect & utmost humility have to say this, sir you should have made a film on this long back. Also kind request make Satyajit Ray open to all good directors to explore further, instead of clinging to his work as ancestral property ! Manikbabu is for all. #Salute #Respect Maharaja of Indian Cinema, Ray once again.

I have been absolutely fizzing to see 'Aparajito The Undefeated ' from the day it was announced, Biopics touch people in a way few other stories do. In the case of Aparajito the film detailing the life of Mr. Satyajit Ray, The film does a fine job portraying the story behind the making of Mr. Ray's iconic film 'Pather Panchali'.
The screenplay is pasted by Jeetu, and the film is directed sensitively by Anik Datta.
A Great Start, Jeetu Nails It.
A Story To Admire.
Some people might not agree with me but Aparajito is a beautiful movie all around, the shots are mesmerizing, and the cast is on point.
The story is inspiring and feels real, the film was masterfully directed.

The movie started with a scene where Satyajit Ray's wife and mother were tuning on the radio to listen to an interview with Ray on All India Radio. Satyajit Ray just completed the movie Pather Panchali a few months back and the movie was being applauded by the people of various countries the movie was awarded prestigious awards in the various film festivals. In the conversation between the interviewer and him, then he told us the story of his love for film and his journey of overcoming various barriers to create the masterpiece Pather Panchali. Jitu Kamal's transformation into Satyajit Ray's character, his voice, and his act are commendable. Big Congratulations and Thank You to director Anik Dutta for bringing this for us.
