Contemporary responses
A frame from the 'discovery of train' scene. The scene is widely considered as the magic moment of the film[3].
While it was in production, a number of westerners, including Monroe Wheeler from the Museum of Modern Art, saw the rushes and immediately recognized its originality. This helped Pather Panchali to get a screening at the Cannes Film Festival. The film was screened toward the end of the festival and at the same time as a party thrown by the Japanese delegation, so only a small number of critics attended; however, although some were initially unenthusiastic at the propect of yet another Indian melodrama, they reportedly found "the magic horse of poetry" slowly invading the screen.[4] The film was awarded the Best Human Document prize at the 1955 Cannes film festival.
Akira Kurosawa said of the film, "I can never forget the excitement in my mind after seeing it. It is the kind of cinema that flows with the serenity and nobility of a big river."[5]
Newsweek critic Jack Kroll reviewed the film as "One of the most stunning first films in movie history. Ray is a welcome jolt of flesh, blood and spirit."
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert of LA Weekly wrote that the film was "as deeply beautiful and plainly poetic as any movie ever made. Rare and exquisite."[6]
"The first film by the masterly Satyajit Ray - possibly the most unembarrassed and natural of directors - is a quiet reverie about the life of an impoverished Brahmin family in a Bengali village. Beautiful, sometimes funny, and full of love, it brought a new vision of India to the screen" said Pauline Kael.
"A beautiful picture, completely fresh and personal. [Ray's camera] reaches forward into life, exploring and exposing, with reverence and wonder" wrote Lindsay Anderson.[6]
After the success of Pather Panchali, Ray was able to obtain a grant from the government of West Bengal, and completed the Apu trilogy at the behest of the Prime Minister of India; this indicates the extent of the first film's cultural impact.
Philip French of The Observer has described Pather Panchali as "one of the greatest pictures ever made".[7]
The Village Voice ranked the film at #12 (tied with The Godfather) in its Top 250 "Best Films of the Century" list in 1999, based on a poll of critics.[8]
Prolific web reviewer James Berardinelli writes, "This tale, as crafted by Ray, touches the souls and minds of viewers, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers".[9]
In 2005, the film was included in Time magazine's All-Time 100 Movies list.
The novel is included as part of the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) and ICSE syllabus for students in India choosing to study Bengali.
