Hero/Bd, Criterion Collection, Blu-Ray

Between the breaking scandal on his bad-boy behavior and his latest project's rotten reviews, dissipated movie star Arindam Mukherjee (Uttam Kumar) was glad to be grabbing a Delhi-bound train for an awards dinner. Coaxed into an interview by an attractive journalist (Sharmila Tagore), the disinterested leading man finds himself surprisingly opening up about his career shortcuts and character shortcomings. Satyajit Ray's incisive industry study also stars Bireswar Sen, Somen Bose, Sumita Sanyal. AKA: "Nayak." 120 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Bengali; Subtitles: English; featurettes. In Bengali with English subtitles.
