Satyajit Ray- Nayak aka The Hero Eng Sub

Nayak is one of the lesser-known films of Satyajit Ray. The movie is about a film star who, upon failing to get a plane ticket, decides to travel by train from Calcutta to Delhi. On the train he meets a journalist. The two develop a bond and the film star ends up sharing his journey to stardom with the journalist along with his guilt and fears. There are a couple of parallel storylines too 'bout the other people that are travelling on that train. An interesting piece of info is that the guy who plays the film star is actually a superstar himself. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's a great film nonetheless. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060742/ I got this off a private Indian tracker & decided to upload it since the film deserves wider recognition. I doubt if there's any other copy on the public trackers. The quality ain't superb but it's good enough if u plan to watch it on ur computer.

One headline states that Arindham got involved in a brawl and the other states his nomination for a prestigious award. While travelling to Delhi by train (in order to receive the award) he comes across various people including a young simple but modern journalist Aditi (Sharmila Tagore) to whom he confides his inner thoughts. In the process, the actor further discovers himself and his fear. Aditi too is moved as her prejudice against the cocky pompous movie star changes while she discovers the man behind the name. Ray cleverly tells Arindham's story about how he made it to stardom, his sacrifice of his art, loss of friends leading to isolation, fear of failure, seeking comfort in alcohol, his inner conflict...He weaves it all into a screenplay that takes place during a train trip from Calcutta to Delhi. A lot of it is shown in flashback mode. The dream sequences are another example of fine writing and execution. We're also given a brief view of the corrupt world of cinema, how art is long lost and how it's become all about money, fame and name...very relevant and applicable to today's Indian film industry. Uttan Kumar, being the biggest star in Bengali Cinema perfectly fits the part. One wonders how much of the character resembles Kumar in real life. Though Ray is known to cast Soumitra Chatterjee (who happened to be Kumar's arch rival) in most of his films, he made the correct decision by casting Kumar for I cannot imagine anyone else play the part. Sharmila Tagore is wonderful. The actress has an amazing presence and with her grace, simplicity and sincerity, she shines. 'Loved her scenes with Uttam. Like most of Ray's powerful work, 'Nayak' is a rather less known but remarkable film. One of my favorites! http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss292/theoneleggedrooster/vlcsnap-1097801.png http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss292/theoneleggedrooster/vlcsnap-1098795.png http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss292/theoneleggedrooster/vlcsnap-1099870.png http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss292/theoneleggedrooster/vlcsnap-1100831.png http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss292/theoneleggedrooster/vlcsnap-1101625.png http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss292/theoneleggedrooster/vlcsnap-1103256.png ********************************* FREAKYFLICKS ********************************** Freakyflicks is a free and open community dedicated to preserving and sharing cinematic art in the digital era.
