The Wanderlust of Apu (Avijatrik)

With The Wanderlust of Apu — the enduring and endearing character of "Apu" is all set to return after 60 years! It is the sequel to the classic Apu Trilogy, directed by Satyajit Ray.

The plot takes off from where The Apu Trilogy had ended in 1959 with Apur Sansar. The film focuses on Apu's overwhelming desire to explore the world outside, instead of his inner journey and self-growth — as portrayed in the earlier trilogy.

Apu is a warm and affectionate father to Kajol, who lost his dear mother to an unpropitious fate during his birth. Aparna, Apu's late wife, still exists in his surreal space — a space where he involves himself in eternal philosophical discourses with his beloved.

Life has come full circle as he lives his moments through his son Kajol. Yearning for more adventure, he finally bids farewell to his village, his city, his motherland, and embarks on a spirited journey with Shankar and Kajol on some unknown terrains in search of new beginnings in a faraway land.
