Ray’s cinema was emotionally powerful
Ray’s cinema was subtle, yet emotionally powerful, which was more inspired by the nuances of character and status than the spectacle. His story of telling the story was deeply in Indian culture, yet was universally relevant. During his career, Ray discovered a variety of subjects, as well as tried to engrave on the screen, from the conflict between ‘Charulata’ and ‘Jan Aranya’, to the moral dilemmas of power in the ‘chess player’ to the ‘chess player’. Ray received several awards, including India’s highest civilian honor Bharat Ratna and the Honorary Academy Award in 1992 which was given to him a few days before his death. In his acceptance speech given from the hospital bed, Ray politely showed his life’s love for cinema, a medium that he described as a ‘mixture of many arts’.
Cinema gives inspiration even after three decades

Today, when we remember Satyajit Ray, we miss the power to tell calm, compassionate story.
