Bimal Roy: A Man of Silence

 

It is highly improbable there will be another film maker like Bimal Roy. He was totally Indian in his vision of society, its aspirations - yet seemed to belong to the whole world.

 

Bimal Roy: A Man of Silence by Rinki Bhattacharya, presents aspects of the man and the maker. The book is not a biography, nor a monograph. Indeed it is a homage to this extraordinary maker who represents a deeply humanist vision. The book pays rich tributes to this renowned Indian auteur from his contemporaries, colleagues, stars with a linking commentary by the author, his daughter.
