Big changes in the big city

 

Mahanagar (1963)


Directed by Satyajit Ray this film stars Hadhabi Mitra, Anil Chatterjee and Haradhan Bannerjee. When the family struggles with finances a housewife gets a job.


No one hands either the social problem film or Indian independent cinema like Satyajit Ray and this is another example of his excellent work. The film does a good job of arguing for progress while showing the social pressures on the characters. Thought provoking and real at the same time.


4/5
