Alex Cunningham travelled to India to find the shooting location of Satyajit Ray’s 1955 masterpiece, Pather Panchali. Once a rural village, Boral is now a bustling suburb with electricity, running water and densely packed paved roads—the signs of any modern Indian town. However, in many ways, Boral remains the same. The town knows and is proud of its place in cinematic history, but life goes on uninterrupted.
