      There are many fans of Satyajit Ray and his Apu Trilogy still screened by many theaters and cinema halls regularly in other countries, but in India very few people have seen Satyajit Ray’s Classic movies..

      Irfan Khan nearly escaped winning the Oscar award for his exceptional performance in Life of Pie. Even though, his role in the film was merely piece of mince, but his background vocals touched the audience.
