Sandip Ray (Bengali: সন্দীপ রায়, Shôndip Rae?; born 8 September 1953) is an Indian film director and music director who mainly works in Bengali cinema. He is the only child of the famous|Bengali]] director Satyajit Ray and Bijoya Ray.
Life and education[edit]
Sandip Ray was born in Calcutta. Initially schooled at the South Point School and the Patha Bhavan, Kolkata, he subsequently attended the University of Calcutta.[1]
Career[edit]
Ray started his professional career in film at the age of 22 as assistant director on the sets of his father's film Shatranj Ke Khilari (The Chess Players, 1977). Prior to this, he had aided his father in various capacities including still photographer on set. His own directorial debut was Phatik Chand (1983) based on Satyajit Ray's Fatik Chand – the film received an award in the International Children's Film Festival in Vancouver.
Sandip Ray is also a noted photographer. He was the director of photography on Satyajit Ray's last three films, Ganashatru (An Enemy of the People, 1989), Shakha Proshakha (The Branches of the Tree, 1990) and Agantuk (The Stranger, 1991).
Sandip Ray also guided the children's magazine Sandesh, which was founded by his great-grandfather Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury, and continued by his grandfather Sukumar Ray and his father Satyajit Ray. From 1992, after the death of Satyajit, Sandip was the Joint Editor of the Sandesh. Since 2003 he has been the editor of the magazine.
Sandip Ray has recently come up with his account of the time he has had with Feluda, the famous Bengali detective created by his father, in a book named Aami aar Feluda, published by Deep Prakashan. Aami aar Feluda was one of the best sellers in the last Kolkata Book Fair. First published in the magazine Sukhi Grihokon as a short series, Aami aar Feluda retains the flavour of Ekei Bole Shooting, written by Satyajit Ray. Sandip's book deals with the background stories of all Feluda movies and telefilms. Aami aar Feluda is ghost-written by author Sebabrata Banerjee. Sebabrata has tried to follow the smart and fluent style of writing introduced by Satyajit Ray which has made the new Feluda number a good reading experience. He has made a video-documentary film on the late Kishore Kumar in the year 1989.
In 2003, Sandip Ray began working on adapting his father Satyajit Ray's original 1962 story Bankhubabur Bandhu into a Bengali television film of the same name.[2] The film, directed by Kaushik Sen, was eventually shown on Indian television in 2006.[3] He started to score background music for Feluda from the film Bombaiyer Bombete (2003). Sandip Ray used his first written thriller story for his own directed film Hitlist, 2009. In 2016, he directed a new Feluda film titled Double Feluda which is the sequel to Royal Bengal Rohosso (2011). During the shooting of Double Feluda, produced by Eros International, Sandip Ray filmed his father's famous library.[4]
Currently he is directing a new film titled Professor Shonku O El Dorado[5], based on a story of Satyajit Ray's Professor Shonku series called Professor Shonku O El Dorado. The film will star veteran actor Dhritiman Chatterjee as Professor Shonku. The film is being produced by SVF Entertainment.

Remarks[edit]
- Satyajit Ray felt Sandip was the best assistant (director) he ever had. (Satyajit) Ray told–[13]Sandip is handicapped by the additional weight of being my son. His latest work – The Return of Goopy & Bagha is hundred percent his own work. Only the plot and a few songs were mine. But the direction, the photography, the script were all Sandip's. In his handling of the camera, he is a master. His skill is better than mine. The bravura work of his cinematography is incomparable...

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
In December 2014, director Sandip Ray revealed that the sequel of the reboot film Badshahi Angti (2014) will be based on Gangtokey Gondogol, and another sequel will be Nayan Rahasya if he finds an actor who is suitable for Jatayu's role.[3] But in May, 2016 Sandip Ray cancelled the reboot series because Abir Chatterjee started a new version of film series based on Byomkesh Bakshi franchise under Shree Venkatesh Films and Surinder Films. The other reason was the new Feluda movie Sandip Ray intended to make under a Mumbai-based production house Eros International, but Abir has a strict contract with Shree Venkatesh Films and Surinder Films. For the cancellation of the reboot series Badshahi Angti is now considered as a stand-alone reboot film.
It was declared by Sandip Ray instead of continuing the reboot series he will continue the previous Feluda film series after Royal Bengal Rahashya (2011) and Sabyasachi Chakrabarty will return as Feluda and Shaheb Bhattacharya will return as Topshe. There will be two stories in the new film and the film is named Double Feluda.This is a sequel of Royal Bengal Rahashya (2011) and the movie released in December, 2016. The movie will be a tribute to 50 years of Feluda. Sandip Ray said that there will be two stories in the film, Samaddarer Chabi and Golokdham Rahasya.[4][5]
Casting[edit]
After Abir Chatterjee decided to opt for the role of Byomkesh Bakshi, Sandip Ray decided to cancel the reboot series because the director and many others were of the view that the same person doing both Feluda and Byomkesh Bakshi won't be accepted by the audience. Ray again proposed the role again to Sabyasachi Chakraborty, who earlier proposed Ray to take Abir Chatterjee for the role. Though, initially reluctant, Chakraborty decided to accept the role since he can't reject Ray's proposal. Chakraborty has reportedly decided to look young to fit himself in the role.[6] Along with Chakraborty, Saheb Bhattacharya also made a comeback with the role of Topshe. Ray also stated that his upcoming Feluda film would not star the character of Jatayu, since he couldn't find any suitable replacement for Bibhu Bhattacharya and it was a godsend that both the stories he decided to interwind to put into celluloid did not have the mention of the character.[7] Apart from veterans Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Dhritiman Chatterjee, Paran Bandopadhyay, Bratya Basu, Rajesh Sharma (actor) and many more, Gaurav Chakraborty was announced to be the part of the cast.[8]
Critical reception[edit]
The Times of India gave the film four stars out of five.[9]BookMyShow rated the film 8.8 out of 10.[10]
