Among the films shown in its founding year were Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood and Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali.

In his book, Terrorism, media, liberation, John David Slocum argues that like Satyajit Ray's classic masterpiece Pather Panchali ( 1955 ), Khan's Mother India has vied for alternative definitions of Indianness.

Satyajit Ray cited Italian filmmaker Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves ( 1948 ) and French filmmaker Jean Renoir's The River ( 1951 ), which he assisted, as influences on his debut film Pather Panchali ( 1955 ).

The Bengali Writer Vibhuti Bhushan Bandopadhyay ( often written as " Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay ")' s book ' Pather Panchali ' ( The Song of the Road ) was adapted into a film by Satyajit Ray.

It was cited as an influence on several early Indian art films, including Bimal Roy's Do Bigha Zamin ( Two Acres of Land, 1953 ) and Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali ( 1955 ).

This version can be heard played by a marching band in the Bengali film, Pather Panchali, directed by Satyajit Ray.

He commented that while Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali took on " a slim poetic form " the structure and tempo of it " would barely pass as a ' rough cut ' with editors in Hollywood ".

His best known work is the autobiographical novel, Pather Panchali ( The Song of the Road ), which was later adapted ( along with Aparajito, the sequel ) into the Apu Trilogy films, directed by Satyajit Ray.

Many of his novels are set in the city of Bongaon, including Pather Panchali, Adarsha Hindu Hotel, Ichamati and Bipiner Sansar.

However, it was not until 1928, when his first novel Pather Panchali ( also known in English as Song of the Little Road ) was published, that Bibhutibhushan received critical attention.

Pather Panchali brought Bibhutibhushan to prominence in Bengali literature and the novel and its sequel Aparajito, were subsequently translated into numerous languages.

Pather Panchali is considered Bibhutibhushan's masterpiece and is included in the CBSE syllabus for students choosing to study Bengali.

Author Humayun Azad opined that the novel form of Pather Panchali is superior to its cinematic rendition.

In his introduction to these excerpts, Chaudhuri writes: " Unique for its tenderness and poetry ... Pather Panchali rejects both nineteenth-century realism and social realism ( the social milieu described in it would have logically lent itself to the latter ) for an inquiry into perception and memory.

Martin Seymour-Smith, in his Guide to Modern World Literature ( 1973 ), describes Bibhutibhushan ( he uses the form Banerji ) as " perhaps the best of all modern Indian novelists ", going on to write that " probably nothing in twentieth-century Indian literature, in prose or poetry, comes to the level of Pather Panchali ".
