This is third film in the Apu trilogy. It took my emotions on a rollercoaster ride. The end! What will happen to Apu down the road? Has he finally learned selflessness? No more tragedy... please!

This is favourite of the Apu Triology. If possible watch the version with Director's cut. The explaination makes it even interesting.

The movie has a soul which will get destroyed if you make even the slightest change to the story, acting, cinematography, music.

Satyajit Ray's Apu trilogy is one of the crowning achievements of cinema. Ravi Shankar's soundtrack is engaging in an of itself. Although part of a larger story this film stands firmly on its own.

Very manipulative (hasn't Apu had enough grief by now?), but the romance (brief as it is) is so touching. Also wonderful photography throughout, with a nice mixture of rural and urban scenes.

Wow. Simple, tragic, beautiful. Incredible story and acting make this perhaps the finest movie trilogy ever made. I look forward to tracking down Satyajit Ray's other works.

At first bullied into an arranged marriage, he finds it a blessing in disguise, until cruel tragedy again interferes in his life, and it seems this is one pain too many. But, as Ray shows, life is just a balance between joy and sorrow and it is something we all must come to terms with. Less artistic but just as human and emotional as the previous two films, 'Apur Sansar' is a fittingly upbeat conclusion to an incredible series of films and seals Ray's reputation as an underrated master of cinema

The third and best movie in the Apu-trilogy is more ambitious and dramatic that it's quite good predecessors. Very modern.

Possibly my most favorite death scene on film is in this film, ironically which happens off-screen. Here everything makes sense finally (for both Apu and this viewer) and the next moment nothing makes sense at all. My world was just as shattered as A...

Here everything makes sense finally (for both Apu and this viewer) and the next moment nothing makes sense at all. My world was just as shattered as Apu's. One Fine Film. And Soumitra , much to my surprise , is absolutely brilliant but Sharmila Tagore outshines him and makes her performance a memorable one.Brilliant .

With Ravi Shankar's music to take you through, this trilogy held me captivated throughout. Following Apu's struggles through his tragedies and discoveries left me marked forever with my already intense love for India. I savored every minute of this story and will keep it with me always. A beautiful, raw emerald of a film...simply BEAUTIFUL.
