| Description | This is a handwritten field notes diary ('Kheror Khata') or Shooting Script, which contains several sketches of Satyajit Ray's short film 'Pikoo' (International release title 'Pikoo's Day'). The film is based on the short story 'Pikur Diary' by Ray himself. |
| Abstract | 'Pikoo' is a 26-minute short film based on a short story written by Satyajit Ray himself. Ray brings us an unforgettable vignette of upper-middle class life in Kolkata around the 70's. It is one of his relatively few movies in colour, but is profoundly and wryly philosophical. Pikoo is shut up in the family home. The father is away at work. The grandfather is ill and confined to his bed. The mother receives her lover. The film ends with Pikoo asking his mother, who is in the arms of her lover: “Shall I use black crayon to draw a white flower?” Needless to say, Ray's use of the background score and imagery is mesmerising. The film is a subtle commentary on human warmth, love, relationships, betrayal, life and death. This is the shooting script for the film where Ray has handwritten every detail about the film. It is an accurate reflection of his ideas and thoughts while working on the film. |
