Dir. Satyajit Ray · Starring Utpal Dutt, Dipankar Dey, Mamata Shankar, Bikram Bhattacharya, Rabi Ghosh, Dhritiman Chatterjee · Music Satyajit Ray
Drama

A well-off family is paid an unexpected, and rather unwanted, visit by a man claiming to be the woman's long lost uncle. The initial suspicion with which they greet the man slowly dissolves as he regales them with stories of his travels, tales that are at odds with their conventional middle class perspective on the world.

VIBE

A slow-burn drama that simmers with unspoken tension. It feels like a quiet interrogation, where every word carries weight and the air is thick with suspicion and the weight of unspoken truths.
