Ayushmann Khurrana pays tribute to legendary Kishore Kumar When it comes to music, Indian music lovers can never forget the contribution of the legendary singer Kishore Kumar whose mellifluous voice breathed life into songs.

There are innumerable stories about his work and his fun-filled banters that immortalises Kishore Kumar. In one such story, we came to know that the Oscar-winning director Satyajit Ray had approached Kishore Kumar for a song for one of his Bengali films titled Charulata (1964).

UPDATED: July 2, 2021 21:52 IST (From top) Actors Kay Kay Menon; Ali Fazal; Manoj Bajpayee; Harshvardhan Kapoor; and Giriraj Rao as they appear in the TV Series Ray The four-hour length shorts that make up the Netflix anthology film Ray all differ in tone and treatment. They adapt and make contemporary the Bengali fiction of Satyajit Ray, but the results, like the responses to the film, are mixed. In Srijit Mukherji’s Bahurupiya, a revenge-seeking make-up artiste beds a prostitute with a mask of his unattainable lover on her face, while in Vasan Bala’s Spotlight, a Bollywood heartthrob finds himself in a “Kafkaesque” nightmare. Though there is much Satyajit Ray can tell us about the times in which we live, one thinks, while watching Ray, if it’s a good idea at all to give his timeless writing a contemporary spin.
The purists, who have grown up reading Ray’s short stories are calling it a waste of time, but the Mukherjee loyalists are ecstatic about what they feel are dark, intriguing masterpieces which comply with idiom of filmmaking on OTT platforms. Sandip Ray, his son and a senior filmmaker himself, has shied away from passing a judgement on the anthology - admitting he is apprehensive as he doesn’t know what to expect from the films. It’s not easy to be in Ray Jr’s shoes. The venture by Netflix India has been to pay a tribute to Ray on his ongoing 100th birth anniversary year and once he has agreed on a professional agreement over filming rights of the stories, there can be no interference on the creative process. Ray Jr has admitted in an interview that he wasn’t consulted on the script, while the jury is still out if the short films have missed out on the soul of Ray’s stories altogether.
