Rahul Bose: 'In memoriam : He would have been 92 today. thank you for a lifetime of wonder. the Apu trilogy. still my top film(s) of all time. charulata, jalsaghar, nayak, goopy gyne...all devoured before i turned 21. then picked up again to taste more slowly. Played Feluda in two BBC radio plays, The Golden fortress and The Mystery of the Elephant God, in 2007. incredible fun. A USC film grad told me 'aranyer din ratri' was introduced in class as 'the closest to perfect screenplay ever written'. Was filming 'English, August' when Ray passed away. in tribute, Dev Benegal has me holding that newspaper headline in a shot.'
