The saga concludes...

Apur Sansar (The World of Apu, Bengali; 1959)
Continuing the conclusion of Apu Trilogy, I managed to lay my hands on Apur Sansar, Satyajit Ray's 1959 film. Ray introduced Sharmila Tagore to film world via this offering.
Apu completes secondary school is looking for a job, going in and out of offices unsuccessfully with no job in sight and room rent and food to pay for. His school friend, Pulu, meets up with him and invites him to his village to attend a relative's wedding. The wedding gets cancelled when the potential groom turned out to be mentally deranged. Apu is coaxed to marry the bride so as the bride would not be cursed and he is the only eligible bachelor around. As Pulu had promised to get a job, he caved in. He returned to his rented room with his bride, Aparna (a very young Sharmila Tagore).
Even though she grew in relative affluence, she soon adjusts to the simple rag lifestyle. Life is happy for both. Aparna goes back to her maternal home for her delivery. Apu receives news that his love dies in childbirth after delivery a baby boy.
A totally devastated Apu, having loss all his loved ones before- father, mother and sister- is depressed. He leaves his worldly duties and go wandering. He refuses to see his son and throws away the manuscript of his autobiography that he was penning. He moves around doing odd jobs.

The Man - Satyajit Ray

5 years passes by... Apu's son, Kajal, is growing with his maternal grandfather, unloved, uncontrollable, without visits from Apu. Pulu who returns from overseas, finds out the turn of events. He tracks Apu down to reunite father and son. Initially defiant, common sense later prevailed. He goes to visit his son.
Apu and Kajal try to communicate (father to son) but in vain. As Apu gives up hope to return to Calcutta, Kajal decides to join him as a friend!
A simple story with no melodrama. Excellent.
