Among these, Pather Panchali is Satyajit’s first full-length feature film. The film received national and international awards, critical acclaim and commercial success.

The two films are quite different in terms of material-selection, compositional style and taste, almost of two types Although Pather Panchali has lyrics, it is fundamentally different from the mood and imagination of the original novel. In Aparajit, the place and role of material consciousness is more. Five deaths—Indira Thakur, Durga, Harihara, Sarvajaya and Aparna—have set the pace of the Apu-trio, which is one of the most natural deaths on screen to date.
