Plot
Four friends from Calcutta spend a holiday in a forest and meet local women.
Sinekatalog’s take
Satyajit Ray's subtle comedy-drama sends four Calcutta friends to a forest holiday where they meet local women and face their own shallowness. Witty, observant and warm, it is a gentle, richly human masterpiece.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
