Ray: A series which is painfully long and monotonous

It is very interesting when a noted filmmaker and writer stories are presented before the public to commemorate his style of filmmaking. The adaptations if not made to the mark can lead to criticism and lynching. Ray is the latest anthology on Netflix which adapts Satyajit Ray's stories.

Though I have never watched Ray's movies or read his stories I can say that this is not an adaptation that even Satyajit Rai would have appreciated. The stories keep on stretching themselves on and on and it is a painful experience to watch the series.

There is no doubt that the cast and crew have done a wonderful job in the series but there is a problem with the adaptation. The series could have been better if the stories had a shorter duration.

Some of my favourite actors in the series have like Kay Kay Menon, Bidita Bag, Manoj Bajpayee, Gajraj Rao and Radhika Madan have given good performances. Regarding others, some shine while others lose themselves in the crowd.

You can watch Ray only if you do not have anything else to watch otherwise it can be conveniently skipped. The series is not a perfect tribute to Satyajit Ray.

The people were not safe inside their houses as well. Floods forced everyone to come outside their houses and gather in a single place or ask for help. The condition of the people had become very miserable and the government came forward to help them in these tragic times. They tried their best to help the people by providing them food and shelter so that they are not rendered homeless. There were many non-governmental organizations that came forward and helped the people in times of need and emergency. It is really saddening to see the situation that has taken over the world and we can only hope and pray that things are returned to their complete normal self so that everybody can leave peacefully and comfortably.

However, this series has faced a lot of backlash and criticism because it has shown how Rabri worked for Bihar but the people of Bihar say that this series is cleaning the image of Rabri Devi.

She slowly gains confidence when people understand the work she is doing and she becomes the favourite of the Bihar people and ultimately gains their trust. However, the series is faulty on many grounds. Fir...
