This was a nice, feel-good story but nothing exceptional.

In comparison with most of the rest of Ray's filmography this is very light, cliched and generic. I'd hate for this to be someone's introduction to Satyajit Ray as it's a bit of a step down in terms of quality. Still pretty good though.

The story is a bit cliche here, but you can see the great work put into the film. This is actually the first Ray film I've seen, and I can definitely see why he is so highly regarded. I haven't seen a film this old use this structure either.

Felt light for Ray, though that is not necessarily a bad thing. For starters it is actually quite funny at points, and it's kind of nice having a film which can look at human relationships intelligently and present the difficulties they can meet without having to end the film in tragedy. As usual Ray's film is deeply humanist, and for his first film in colour I thought it looked really rather beautiful especially as the mist rolls in. I'm not head over heels for it but it's hard not to like.

Primarily the story of a young couple on vacation with their families, being pressured into marriage, but it also explores other marital themes through the other characters. The multi-threaded narrative is unusual for Satyajit Ray, and although sometimes the diversions are distracting, generally it works well. I kind of liked it, but I would consider it a rather "low impact" film from Ray. The Darjeeling locations made quite pleasant backdrops.

Tells of two sisters, Monisha and Anima, each in her own way oppressed by social conventions and conservative values held by their upper-class Bengali family. The story takes place in real time over a single afternoon. Ray had grown as a filmmaker and this is a more mature film than those in his early Apu trilogy. It's sort of light but it's one of my favorites of his.
