Amazon Quiz (June 23, 2022): Anik Datta’s movie ‘Aparajito’ is based on the making of which iconic Indian film?

Roja

Mother India

Mughal-e- Azam

Pather Panchali

Answer: Pather Panchali

Aparajito (1956) is an Indian Bengali-language drama film written and directed by Satyajit Ray (1921–1992), and is the second part of The Apu Trilogy. It is adapted from the first half of Bibhutibhushan Bannerjee’s novel Aparajito.

It starts off where the previous film Pather Panchali (1955) ended, with Apu’s family moving to Varanasi, and chronicles Apu’s life from childhood to adolescence in college.

When Ray started making Pather Panchali, he had no plans of following it up with a sequel. The critical and commercial success of the film prompted him to start making Aparajito.

Unlike his previous venture, where he stayed faithful to the novel, Ray took some bold artistic decisions here, such as portraying the relationship between Apu and his mother in a very different manner from the book.

As a result, in contrast to its predecessor, the film was not received well locally; Ray recalled that “as for the suburban audience, it was shocked by the portrayal of the mother and son relationship, so sharply at variance with the conventional notion of mutual sweetness and devotion”
