The first of the city "tetrology" should have probably featured as the "roller-coaster" ride of a jobless, middle aged man from the lower middle class society of the city... The man's life changes as he finds the "magic stone" one fateful rainy evening.... The gripping and equally hilarious saga of gaining all wealth in the world and losing it within 2 hours... Based on the famous satirist "Parashuram" (Rajsekhar Basu)'s short story, this film is one of the most striking depictions of the filmmaker favorite city.."Calcutta"

In Devi Sharmila Tagore was daughter in law of Chobi Biswas. Not Daughter. Please do some homework before you become expert. it is not review of Lungi dance. Shameless fellow.
I am not a Bengali however i was fortunate to find Chiryakhana with English subtitles on youtube. Must say it was a compelling watch. Wonder why they say it didnt work.
Good news that the classics of Ray are digitalised and ready for release. Late Satyaji Ray would keep a portion of his Kurta in his pocket. (Bengali style)In 1973 The Bharat Ratna was sitting in the same row where I was sitting. My son said (he was only 7),'Look Pappa, that tall man has forgotten to take out his kurta portion from his pocket'. This is with reference when I got The National Award. Dhiru Mistry
Again an unqualified blunder by the whimsical Raja Sen. Ray's two outstanding works, 'Pather Panchali' and 'Apur Sansar' find no place in this list which is truly baffling. Films like 'Hirak Rajar Deshe' can in no way be counted as among Ray's best.
