Satyajit Ray's film Nayak showcased the struggle of a matinee idol.

Thanks Jayaji there is english subtitles in the film.

@sathviksouvik okay I'll search it.

@Starkinds Thanks Jayaji it is a reality that even matinee idols have their struggles. They have to struggle during initial days, once they assume fame they struggle to maintain their fame.

Thanks Kokilji the film was message oriented.

@sathviksouvik I can watch it if it has subtitles or dubbed in hindi

@amitkokiladitya Thanks Kokilji the film Nayak of 1966 of Ray received President's gold medal and many international awards. So it had english subtitles.

Thanks John Satyajit Ray was one of the best Indian directors ever. He himself wrote the stories, wrote the scripts, did cameragraphy, gave the music and also gave direction.His films showed realistic images.

Thanks Staplostick great information, his stories of Feluda and Prof Shanku are still read by numerous readers. He could make only 2 films including Sonar Kella and Joy Baba Felunath in his lifetime. But he was a fantastic writer no doubt about it.

@stapllotik Thanks Staplostick, you are very informed person. Yes Amanush was director Shakti Samanta's double venture, both bengali and hindi version. Satyajit Ray was such a realistic director they he told superstar Uttam Kumar that no make up will be given in his face. He had pox 2 years back. So those marks were also evident. But Uttam Kumar gave a marvellous performance in Nayak. He was the first male actor in India to get national award in 1967 for the films Chiriakhana and Anthony Firingi. It was started in 1967 with the name of Bharat Puraskar.

@sathviksouvikI've seen Uttam Kumar in Amanush (Hindi version). I will try to see Nayak

Thanks Lakshmanji yes the film was outstanding.
