Satyajit Ray
's
Aranyer Din Ratri
(now restored in 4K), starring
Soumitra Chatterjee
,
Sharmila Tagore
, Simi Garewal, Samit Bhanja, Aparna Sen, and others in lead roles, is based on the novel of the same name by Sunil Gangopadhyay. The film will be screened in the
Cannes Classics
section. Sharmila Tagore, who played the cool and intellectual Aparna in the film, will attend the special screening at the French Riviera. Along with her, Purnima Dutta, the producer of the film, was initially expected to attend the festival. Previously, Ray's
Pratidwandi
, also produced by her, was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022. Film Heritage Foundation's Shivendra Singh Dungarpur will also be joining the screening.
'I have known about this wonderful news for the past month, but the official announcement came on Wednesday. I had thought I would attend the festival, but given the current global situation, I am not in the mental state to participate in anything—it feels like a battlefield all around, and I've lost all interest. Still, I'm delighted by the news.
Pratidwandi
, our previous film, was screened at this prestigious festival, and now this. Our third film,
Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne
, has gone for restoration, and we are hopeful it will make it to Cannes next year—then the circle will be complete,' said Purnima with a smile.

She added, 'Rinku (Sharmila Tagore) will be attending the festival, and I'm sure the audience will have many questions. Rinku will be able to answer them, as she was associated with the film from the beginning. I could have answered them too, but I'm not going. My daughter and daughter-in-law will be attending the festival on my behalf. The restored version of
Aranyer Din Ratri
is beautiful to watch, and I'm confident the audience will have a wonderful time. The film's theme is modern and layered, with rich details. Ray's masterful storytelling, subtle character development, and insightful exploration of human nature against the backdrop of nature will surely resonate with the audience when the film is screened on May 19.'
Aranyer Din Ratri
was also nominated for the Golden Bear at the 20th Berlin International Film Festival.

Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Day 4: Akshay Kumar's Film Enters Rs 100-Crore Club
Last Updated: Housefull 5, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, crossed Rs 100 crore in four days. The comedy stars Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan. The madness is paying off… literally! Housefull 5, the latest instalment in Bollywood's most loved comedy franchise, is raking in moolahs at the box office. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, this star-studded laugh riot has officially crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office within just four days of release. Featuring a quirky and colourful ensemble cast that includes Nargis Fakhri, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh, and Soundarya Sharma, Housefull 5's collections have shown steady growth over the weekend, pushing it into the Rs 100-crore club even before it wrapped up its first week. Housefull 5 is still going strong at the box office, even as the weekend buzz settles. On its fourth day, which was a Monday, the film collected around Rs 13.1 crore, according to early estimates. Since weekdays usually see a dip, this drop was expected but the movie still held steady. Sunday was the biggest day for the film so far, with collections hitting Rs 32.5 crore, its highest single-day earning yet. With these numbers, Housefull 5 has now crossed the Rs 100-crore mark, reaching a total of Rs 101 crore in just four days. On Monday, Housefull 5 recorded a Hindi occupancy of 17.62 per cent, a decent hold for a weekday. With this, Housefull 5 has officially overtaken the India nett collection of Akshay Kumar's earlier film, Kesari Chapter 2, which had earned Rs 92.53 crore. Now, all eyes are on whether it can top the Rs 149-crore mark set by Sky Force. Housefull 5 is winning hearts and filling seats, and it's quickly turning into one of the biggest comedy hits of the year. But apart from all the laughs and star power, there's something else that has everyone talking — the film has two different endings! Yep, depending on which show you watch, you'll either see Housefull 5 A or Housefull 5 B. Each version ends differently. Director Tarun Mansukhani spoke about why they decided to do this. He said the idea came up during the writing process, and they thought it would be fun to surprise the audience. 'Sajid (Sajid Nadiadwala) sir had this idea about 30 years ago. And finally, he brought it to Housefull 5. And that was one of the most exciting things for me as a director to make a film with two different climaxes." News18 Showsha gave it 2.5 stars. An excerpt from the review read, 'What makes the movie slump even lower is the music and the number of songs pushed into the scenes and the screenplay to make the film longer. Imagine dealing with an already stretched script, and then you have to tolerate even the unnecessary dance numbers. If this is the standard of comedy we get from the Housefull franchise, then Nadiadwala has to step up and raise the bar in the next instalment." Housefull 5 unfolds on a luxury cruise, where three men — all named Jolly — find themselves in deep trouble. The twist? They're all suspects in the murder of a wealthy industrialist onboard the ship. What follows is a rollercoaster of confusion and mistaken identities in the most hilarious way possible. Housefull 5 is backed by Sajid Nadiadwala's banner, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, and it brings together one of the biggest ensemble casts. The film stars Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan in leading roles, along with Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Ranjeet, and Johny Lever. The leading ladies include Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, and Soundarya Sharma. Rounding out the cast are Chunky Panday and Dino Morea. First Published:
