than you should try some of Mrinal Sen's films. I totally agree with everyone's views on The Apu Trilogy - I grew up with them.Mrinal Sen is another Indian director who has directed films both in his native tongue and in Hindi. Tremendous depth and quiet poignancy in his characters. Sen has been overshadowed by Ray, and it's too bad really because he is a great film maker. He has even been honoured with France's Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters.
My personal favourites are Khandahar (The Ruins) and Ek Din Protidin (A Day Like Any Other). Both very powerful films.
