Ray magic goes on8230;

Korean filmmaker Kim Di Duk may be the crowd-puller at the Kolkata Film Festival this year but the serpentine queue outside the Nandan on Friday againnbsp;bore testimony to Satyajit Ray8217;s enduring appeal. The screening of Two, the much-awaited and rare short film of Ray, was a roaring success to say the least.

8220;Ray had a special way of dealing with children, and the film confirms that,8221; said film scholar Sanjay Mukhopadhyay of Roop Kala Kendra.nbsp;

The film, restored by the Academy of Motion Pictures of US, is one of the five Ray films to be screened at the festival this year.

8220;Even widely-available films like Joi Baba Felunath and Teen Kanya have attracted huge crowds. No one comes near Ray in Kolkata,8221; said Apurba Chatterjee, Chief of News Bureau, Information 038; Culture department.
