Jokhon Chhoto Chilam introduces us to the lesser known side of one of the world’s greatest film-makers, Satyajit Ray. It is a charming and delightful collection of stories from Ray’s childhood and film-making days.

Summary of the Book

Jokhon Choto Chilam is a memoir of Satyajit Ray’s childhood days. We get glimpses into the life of the master storyteller, a man who always appeared somber and detached from the outside world and get to discover a completely different and more approachable Ray. He shares some humorous and funny experiences he encountered as a kid, from his first taste of an ice-cream to the endless bullying he faced in school because of his famous father and grandfather. He writes about his talented family members and how each one had his or her idiosyncrasies. Ray also shares his experiences as a filmmaker, shooting for his epic debut, Pather Panchali. Rib-tickling and light-hearted, these stories were originally written for the Bengali children's magazine Sandesh. It is an essential read for all Ray enthusiasts.
