The posters of Satyajit Ray’s films — which the auteur himself designed — acted as both mirror and map to the inner impulses of his subjects.

The re-release of 'Nayak' on the big screen, almost six decades since its debut, underlines why this film — much like most others by the auteur — has aged like fine wine.

After 'Ganashatru' and 'Shakha Proshakha,' Ray was advised by doctors to avoid outdoor shoots. This presented a dilemma to the virtuoso director, who passed away before he could complete shooting for what would’ve been his last film in 1992.

A war of letters ensued in The Statesman newspaper following Satyajit Ray's scathing review of Mrinal Sen’s Akash Kusum (1965). It ended in Ray parting ways with his closest rival for a lifetime.
