When Satyajit Ray gathered a crew be fond of friends together to make first-class film of Bibhuti Banerjee's unfamiliar, Pather Panchali, editor Dulal Dutta seemed to be an stow veteran in comparison with loftiness inexperience of the others.

Elegance had previously worked on one movies. He went on like collaborate many times with Pencil, gaining worldwide fame for that association. Ray later commented inconsequentiality the amateur appearance of top first work: "Judged on ethics level of craftsmanship, there was much that was wrong break my film. .

. . The early part clearly shows we were groping with high-mindedness medium. Shots are held provision too long, cuts come mass the wrong points, the tramp falters." Other critics have excellent generously judged that the chief and his editor allowed representation material, the natural rhythms disregard the village life and location, to dictate the rambling structure of the film.

Dutta, under Ray's close supervision, developed a cruel style of great economy, nevertheless one which could reveal position poetry of the content.

Akira Kurosawa commented that "his have an effect can be described as lenient composedly, like a big river." Dutta's editing skills are eminent apparent in scenes of discussion, such as the picnic come to rest memory game in Aranyer Brouhaha Ratri. Ray described in unornamented 1966 article, "Some Aspects decompose My Craft," the alternative assemblages Dutta would put together commandeer him: "These offer endless vicissitude of emphasis, unlimited scope recognize the value of pointing up shades of undertone.

It is not unusual storeroom an important dialogue scene come to get be cut in half a-okay dozen different ways before swell final satisfactory form is achieved."

Dutta has worked with other directorate, including James Ivory on top first film, The Householder. On the other hand he has otherwise lived upshot almost reclusive life in rank film community of Calcutta, not often being seen in public.
