Desi Pride Here: Nolan Calls Satyajit Ray Film ‘Extraordinary’!

Let the desi dancing begin.

As desis who are often made fun of around the world for our Bollywood song-and-dance movies, we take this moment as our proudest ever. Because guess what, Christopher Nolan just said he watched the goddamn amazing Satyajit Ray’s Pather Panchali and thought it was the most ‘extraordinary’ piece of work!

I have had the pleasure of watching Mr Ray’s Pather Panchali recently, which I hadn’t seen before. I think it is one of the best films ever made. It is an extraordinary piece of work. I am interested in learning more about Indian film industry and that is the reason why I came.
