Nayak (The Hero), 1966, India, Bengali
Scene Description Ray has continued to take a satirical interest in holy men. The spiritual guru who shares the compartment with the advertising agent Sarkar plays an interesting digression. He wants some paid publicity for his organisation and offers a lump sum to Sarkar, thus tying a loose end. The spiritual man is a facetious businessman dousing his mouth with freshner. He is no different from an actor, just like Mr Bose, Mr Sarker or Arindam for the matter, although Arindam shows much more diplomacy and courteousness than any of these men. (21/22)
