Sandip Ray based his first feature film, Phatikchand (Phatik and the Juggler, 1983), on a story by his father. Ray did the screenplay and scored the music for the film. Ray also scored the music for Sandip’s 1991 film Goopy Bagha Phire Elo (The Return of Goopy and Bagha), based on his own story. Later, Sandip based two other feature films on screenplays done by Ray, Uttaran (The Broken Journey, 1993) and Target (1995).
He based another full-length feature film, Bombaier Bombete (Bandits from Bombay, 2003), on a Ray novel. Currently he is at work on yet another film, Tintorettor Jishu (Tintoretto’s Jesus), which is again based on a popular Ray mystery. |
