Tv series, lectures, podcasts, anything really. Bonus if it has subtitles in hindi as well as in english

    Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen are the big ones. Ritwik Ghatak's supposed to be great, too, but I haven't seen as much of him.

    Ray - the Apu Trilogy, The Music Room, Charulata, The Big City, all masterpieces. The Coward and The Hero are very good, too. Those are all on the Criterion Channel; the ones MUBI has tend to be his later films (which I haven't seen but I'm sure are still good; the man was incredible). MUBI also has The Chess Players, his one Hindi film.

    Sen - the Calcutta trilogy, In Search of Famine, Khandhar. I just got into him recently and would like to see more.

    Sen was a Marxist, and I think Ghatak was as well. Ray was a liberal but his films have good politics.

      Thank you so much! I'm really not that familiar with Indian movies so this helps out a lot 😊
