APUR SANSAR (1959) presents a picture of domestic bliss in the midst of economic privation. On the other hand, the natural abundance in the first two films of the Trilogy is transformed here into a sense of desolation. This dual aspect becomes particularly meaningful against the backdrop of the emerging new melodrama of the time.
