Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  Passage: I kohia e Ray tetahi roopu kore wheako, ahakoa ko tana kaitango kāmera a Subrata Mitra me te kaiwhakahaere toi a Bansi Chandragupta i haere ki te whakatutuki i te whakanui nui. Ko te nuinga o nga kaiwhakaari he kaiwhakaari amateur. I tiimata ia ki te kopere i te mutunga o te 1952 me ana moni penapena me te tumanako ka nui ake te moni ka oti ana i etahi waahanga, engari kaore i angitu i runga i ana tikanga. I te mutunga, i pupuhi a Ray i a Pather Panchali mo nga tau e toru, he wa tino roa, i runga i te waa ka taea e ia, e tana kaiwhakahaere whakaputa ranei a Anil Chowdhury te kohi moni taapiri. I whakakahoretia e ia nga tahua mai i nga puna e hiahia ana ki te whakarereke i te tuhinga, te tirotiro ranei mo te whakaputa. Kaore hoki ia i aro ki nga tohutohu a te kawanatanga kia whakauruhia he mutunga harikoa, engari i whakawhiwhia ki a ia te putea i ahei ai ia ki te whakaoti i te kiriata. I whakaatu a Ray i tetahi waahanga kiriata wawe ki te kaiwhakahaere Amerika a John Huston, i India e rapu ana i nga waahi mo te The Man Who Would Be King. Ko te waahanga o te tirohanga a Apu me tana tuahine mo te tereina e rere ana i te tuawhenua, ko te waahanga anake i kiriatahia e Ray na te iti o tana tahua. I whakamohio a Huston ki a Monroe Wheeler i te New York Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) he taranata nui kei te taha o te pae.  Pātai: He aha te nuinga o te kaitapere?
