Apur Panchali is the new movie by the director Kaushik Ganguly. Though the movie based on a real-life story of a once child artist, Subir Bandyopadhyay, one should not mistake it as a biography. This film differs with any other film of today. Now-a days most of the movies shot by digital cameras, but this movie shot through the 35mm format. Moreover, director Kaushik Ganguly bags the best director award for the movie in the 44th Goa International Film Festival, 2013. The film got well-appreciated and now set to hit the multiplexes on the 25th of April, 2014.

Apur Panchali: Story
The unforgettable role played by the child artist, Subir Bandyopadhyay, (as the iconic Apu) in the Satyajit Ray film, Pather Panchali (1955), appreciated by the audience. Though, he was the renowned child actor of the industry, people forgot him. With the passage of time, no one cared to find out about this little talent and about his well-being. Soon, his name got wiped out from the mind of the audience. Director Kaushik's new film based on this theme. A young promising talent getting behind the curtain without anyone being aware of it.
Preview
Director Kaushik has come up with a new storyline based on a real-life story, especially of an icon character which got swayed away from our mind with the passage of time. It highlights seven to eight minutes of footage from the film Pather Panchali (1955) in its introductory part. It could be categorised as a film based on family, drama or history. The film has all the ingredients to attract every section of the masses. The music has touched the heart of the audience. The Song, “Apur Paayer Chhaap” by Arijit Singh hitting the popularity list. We believe, the film would certainly do well at the box office and it would be more than successful in drawing the audience to its never before told story.
