Teen Kanya

In the year of Tagore's centenary, Ray made a documentary about him, and this anthology. Based on three short stories of Tagore, for which he should have got another Nobel Prize I think, the titular women are the central character of the stories. All shot in wide angle cameras, these stories are mostly filmed in rural bengal and the beauty of it enhances through the lens. And speaking about beauty, all the main mans - oops, womans - here successfully make us cry, scared or giggly, accordingly to the different genres of the short films in it. Eventually we will get better supporting characters and awesome ensemble in Ray's films, but this should be noted for writing so much strong and prominent non-lead characters in it.
