Martin Scorsese adores him. His work drew Wes Anderson and Christopher Nolan to India. Satyajit Ray’s works are considered a benchmark for Indian cinema even today. Photographer and writer Sumit Ray’s weekend session at a Bandra venue offers an opportunity to rediscover these qualities.

The 38-year-old began rewatching Ray only after the passing of actor Soumitra Chatterjee in 2021. Sumit reveals, “The passing of the thespian was the trigger. It was the pandemic and with time on my hands, I rewatched Joy Baba Felunath (1979) to relive my childhood.”
