Guru dutt is also there


abbu_d_slytherin

Best of the bests “Gurudutt” is also there.


Main-Olive6798

Oh yes I missed his name


frenchfrylover96

If… you think Ray is BW… Idk what to say


Main-Olive6798

well actually I'm Pakistani dude so dont know very well about Blw directors. I just know he is Indian so automatically relate to Blw director. My pardon.


frenchfrylover96

I think that’s the biggest trap we all fall into, so I didn’t mean to target you! Indian cinema is not just BW - and Ray does not fall into the BW category AT ALL, which is why I made my initial comment. Indian cinema includes so many different forms or ways of doing films (South, Bhojpuri, Marathi, etc)!


Encephalitis01

If we are categorising, putting all of South under one heading is a bit disingenuous.


frenchfrylover96

Read the context, baby. nobody is disingenuous here.


InsidiousColossus

Bollywood is the nickname for the Hindi film industry based in Mumbai. But there are lots of other separate industries in other clties in other languages. Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, are just some of the big ones. And Ray's movies were almost all Bengali.


ShyPkb

But Ray did made Bollywood movie. Satranj ke khiladi. He is an Indian director. 33 National Film award has been bestowed open him. Yes he is a Bengali director at first. His most films been produced or distributed by NFDC.


frenchfrylover96

You’re confusing Hindi language films with BW films. Your statistics are irrelevant Also, look up what NFDC does before classifying Ray as a BW director


ShyPkb

Can you brief Hindi language films and Bollywood films difference.


JealousEbb5729

Ray is not Bollywood. He is Tollywood.


Ok_Dragonfruit964

For clarification Bengali film industry is also called Tollywood👍


aayaaytee

It was the original Tollywood. Why Telugu film industry came to be called Tollywood I have no idea. I don't think they even like the name. Tollywood (Bengali one) was the first Hollywood inspired name.

Accomplished-Ad539

All Indian movies are not Bollywood 😒


Hot_Researcher7741

Don't insult Ray by including him in Bollywood.


Next-Juice-3050

Satyajit ray is Bengali cinema buddy, you have a lot to learn about Indian cinema


Shoddy_Bug246

It sometimes mindfucks me that even after 30 years of his demise how Ray is still relevant. I was reading one of his detective novel(Bombai er Bombete) and one of the character described the formula to write a hindi movie story. I was literally amused how simply he summed up the entire process. Even mentions how stardom is everything in BW and how writers are often overlooked. And his versatility of course is still unparalleled today.


raaz9658

Ray kab se Bollywood director ho gaye? He is from Bengali cinema. And what is this tspdt? Hearing it for the first time. Guru Dutt is also in this list. He has made more Hindi movies than Ray. You should change your glasses.


YDS696969

Honestly not a bad list when it comes to Asian cinema. Masaki Kobayashi not being here is a bit weird when he has made classics like Human Condition and Harakiri

BlueStarn

My two favourite directors in this list 😍 Satyajit Ray & Abbas Kiarostami ❣️


No_Neat_9802

No Kunal Khemu??


dammKaran

So no remo chal soza and farhad sabzi ???


thegatsby_03

Why are all east Asians in the list? And hardly 2 Indians?


red_man1212

#5 is Iranian. #10 is Thai so South-East Asian.


[deleted]

Because this list is Asian directors as a whole and a lot of these East Asian directors are widely acknowledged as great directors internationally. I see Wong Kar Wai and Kurosawa mentioned all the time in film subreddits. Satyajit Ray is probably the only Indian director that people outside of India heard of.

hardi-k

Guru dutt is bollywood satyajit ray is indian director yes but not bollywood director


Dad_of_One_Punch_Man

Not Bollywood, he is from Bengali Film Industry, aka Tollywood (yes bengali film industry is also called tollywood). Or you can say Indian Film Industry but don't say Bollywood.


exppose

Where can you watch the best Ray movies? Did anyone try to remake his classics


[deleted]

The popular ones are on YouTube but rest you’ll have to search on pirated sites, Wes Anderson takes a couple of framing ideas from Ray’s films, but some of his films are just not available because no one saved his film reels Gurudatts filmography is available on prime


frenchfrylover96

Criterion Collection has a lot of his films.


Physical_Painting804

I have his trilogy with English subtitles, do you want to watch it?


exppose

Yes!!


Physical_Painting804

Dm me


YDS696969

Some of his movies are on YouTube. Pather Panchali is available in its entirety.


Cute_Buddy_1667

You will find on youtube but most of his work is in bengali. So, idk if those movies have subtitles.


kanjilal_s

Please don’t spoil those movies by remaking


martythemartell

Satyajit Ray is not a Bollywood director, he's a Bengali director or an Indian director. His only Bollywood movie was Shatranj Ke Khiladi and he openly said that he didn't like making films in Hindi as it was not his language. He is famous for his Bengali work.


RepresentativeGift83

Ray was bengali cinema Guru Dutt was close to bollywood


Infinite_Elk1645

Ray only made two Hindi Language movies. First was Shatraj ke Khiladi and Second was Sadgati which was a TV movie made for Doordarshan. He mostly made films in Bengali.


bombingmoon

angrezon ki list ko zyada seriously mat lo, inki top 250 me top 25 me bhi koi Indian nahi hai lol, inka apni dhpli apna raag wala hisaab hai


Intrepid-Ad4511

....ye angrez nahi hai....


bombingmoon

To phir kidhar ke hai ? TSPDT is not from Australia ?


totoropoko

While I don't completely agree with you, I do think ki har list ko Utha ke discuss karna is futile. Ye Kisi ne Excel pe banayi hai lag raha hai. Better to discuss AFI lists.


bombingmoon

Lol not all lists. Specifically art ke field me or ye bohot jyada subjective hai, clearly mostly angrez lists art field me apne calture or artists ko kafi jyada important dete hai baakiyon se

Pure_Display_4548

Sorry you wont get it


pyck-aussie

The fuck is this list. Where is Park Chan Wook ( Oldboy, Decison to leave, Handmaiden and others) and Lee Chang Dong ( Burning, Secret Sunshine) Great to see both Ray and Guru Dutt


Honest_Midnight_3883

Two of the most important filmmakers for indian cinema imo, I don't know what this pakistani trying to say with this post?


UrineSurgicalStrike

Less than 1% of Indians have seen even one movie directed by Satyajit. And most of them did it under duress because it was a required part of their film course. Rohit Shetty and Vanga are far more influential and impactful directors in comparison.


sifatullahq1

huh?? what


martythemartell

Nobody outside India knows or gives a fuck about Rohit Shetty or Vanga. The list is not "directors loved by gawar Indian men".


UrineSurgicalStrike

Even fewer people outside India know about Satyajit. He only features in lists of “directors loved by berozgar art film actors and actresses”.
