		Roy was hardly 20 years old when he migrated from East Bengal to Calcutta with his widowed mother, two brothers and a trusted companion—his camera.
		As Bimal Roy had seen the ordeal his widowed mother had to pass through, he turned out to be quite supportive of women protagonists in his films.
		Bimal Roy hit the bullseye with Do Beeghaa Zameen (1953) which was the story of an impoverished farmer Shambhu Mahato (Balraj Sahini) who valiantly fights to save his do bighaa zameen from the clutches of the village landlord.

	rediff.com, Movies: The perceptive camera of Bimal Roy
		Roy and Nutan brought to startling life a remarkable woman whose binding love for a revolutionary brings about her ruination as well as deliverance.
		Roy's polished filmmaking continued to rely on searing visuals, whether it was Sujata soundlessly switching off the lights (of her hopes) after being serenaded on the phone by her lover; or the long wordless scene in
		Roy was only 57, but his genius spreads through Hrishikesh Mukherji, Gulzar, Basu Bhattacharya, the actors and the musicians who had benefitted from their association with him.

	Bollywood - Special Feature - A Tribute To Bimal Roy
		Nirupa Roy who played roles in mythologicals and was used to being dressed accordingly, was asked to wear used, unwashed clothes from Chor Bazaar for her portrayal of Paro.
		While critics lamented that Bimal Da was pandering to the masses, his wife, in a later interview claimed that it was his most commercially successful film, which kept the money flowing for his later ventures and supported him financially for a long time.
		Bimal Da cast Nutan as Kalyani in Bandini (1963) in what is arguably the strongest performance by an actress seen on the Hindi film screen (in the same league of the quiet, yet raw and volcanic performances of Nargis in Mother India, Shabana Azmi in Ankur and Smita Patil in Bhumika).

	Kakiseni.com - Bimal Roy, The First Neo-Realist Auteur in Indian Cinema
		Bimal Roy was born into a family of landlords in East Bengal.
		Bimal, inspired by the neo-realism of Italian cinema and in particular De Sica’s Bicycle Thief (1949), pitches the fate of the poor farmer against the wider context of urban alienation and rural poverty.
		Bimal’s narrative is told by the leading character Kalyani, played with understated pathos by Nutan (one of Bimal’s favourite actresses) in a series of flashbacks that chart the evolution of a gentle human being to one driven to momentary but beautiful insanity by her circumstances.

	Untitled Document
		Unlike the novella, or Bimal Roy’s own remake of the film he first photographed, Barua’s Devdas does not introduce his main characters as children, but as naïve young adults; Barua, however, does suggest that, the title aside, this is largely Paro’s story, as she introduces the narrative.
		At first glance, Roy’s version of the story seems subtle and naturalistic, with affinities to the emerging Bengali art cinema of Satyajit Ray: the actors are restrained and convincing, and often placed in realistic locations rather than the studio sets which provide the stylized background for other versions.
		The Yash Raj Films DVD of the 1955 DEVDAS in their Bimal Roy Collection is of good but not superior quality; it features complete subtitles and also includes an illuminating interview with Dilip Kumar by Nasreen Munni Kabir and “Images of Kumbh Mela,” unedited footage shot by Bimal Roy before his death.

	BIMAL ROY Review
		This man was Bimal Roy, one of the greatest directors of Indian cinema, and the movie I was referring to was Do Bigha Zameen.
		Bimal Da had earlier watched the 1949 Italian neo realist cinema, The Bicycle Thieves and was heavily influenced by it.
		Bimal Daâs next two movies in 1958 were a break from his tragic, neo realistic stuff.

	Bimal Roy
		Bimal Roy was one of the greatest ever directors of Indian cinema.
		Parakh sees Bimal Roy venture into satire territory and is a witty, perceptive film and looks at how greed and money affect the behaviour of people.
		The film finds Bimal Roy truly enjoying himself as he blows the lid off so called respectable people and shows to what levels people can stoop to for money.

	BIMAL ROY Review
		Bimal Roy touched upon the social themes in his movies.
		May it be the indebtedness of the rural farmer in Do Bhiga Zameen or the untouchability in Sujata, or even may it be the tragic life of a woman pisoner in Bandini, he never hesitated to send strong social message through his movies.
		Each movie of Bimal Roy is priceless for me. Still, if I make a list of my favourites, the list will be as follows.
