Jackie Shroff is one of the few stars who genuinely respects cinema history. Most Bollywood celebrities only remember each other's birthdays, but he remembers stalwarts like Satyajit Ray. That's classy.

Ray's contribution to world cinema is unparalleled. From Pather Panchali to Ghare Baire, every film was a masterpiece. It's a shame the current generation doesn't watch his work enough. More Bollywood celebs should do what Jackie does.

Respect to Jackie Shroff for remembering Ray sahab. But I wonder if today's Bollywood has any filmmaker who can match Ray's vision. We need more meaningful cinema like his, not just masala movies. 🎬

Satyajit Ray's influence on global cinema is massive - even directors like Scorsese and Kurosawa admired him. Glad to see Jackie Shroff acknowledging this icon. The black and white portrait he shared really captures Ray's timeless aura.
