When Bimal Roy, the auteur and director behind such acclaimed film classics as Do Bigha Zamin, Bandini, Sujata and Madhumati, embarked on his journey into Indian cinema, filmmaking in India was still in its infancy. Even those who admire Bimal Roy are not aware of his extraordinary grip on the art of filmmaking. At our Online Talk #SpeakingInPictures, Bimal Roy's biographer (and daughter) Rinki Roy will share a two-tier vision of the man and his cinematic journey.
