Written and directed by Satyajit Ray, this is perhaps the world's first short film. Produced for Essa, the oil company, in 1964, this short uses symbolism- the battery operated toys vs the simplicity of flute and kite. The coca cola drinking boy vs the urchin. Very Clever depiction of American oppression against the third-world. Music is composed by him too. Amazing camera work, considering the time and age that it was made. A must watch for aspiring story-tellers.
Lallan Miya says, "chota mooh aur badi baat ke liye maufi par dada ki iss short ko aaj bhi chala do ...it's relevant, it's current and it is fantastic"
