Ray is an unforgettable name in Bengali film and literature. Although he started writing a little late, he has an abundance of stories and literary works. He has taken the Bengali language and film to a unique height in the world. An extraordinary director. Many famous directors have admitted that he is one of the best directors in the world.
His first film is a milestone in the history of Bengali and Indian cinema. He has shown that cinema can be so real and lively. However, it took him three and a half years to make this film. It took so long to finish this film due to financial reasons.
However, today I will discuss his writing, not his movie. Another day we will talk about movies. He has become immortal in the hearts of Bengali readers by creating characters like Feluda Professor Sanku and Tarini Khuro. I will discuss one of the many short popular stories written.
The name of the story is "Nakulbabu". This story will be called true science fiction. How far-sighted Satyajit Ray was can be understood by reading this story. A mechanical man is favorable here. A robot company hires this mechanical servant from a rich family. Possessing intelligence.
In this story, the author shows the feelings of the machine man. The owner expresses his inability to keep him in financial distress. The machine man falls in love with his owner and removes the owner's lack of money in a fancy way.
The combination of instruments and blood and flesh shown by the author is truly impeccable.
N. B This story is recorded in Ananda Publishers' Aro Satyajit' collection.
