PVR INOX, India’s largest and most premium cinema exhibitor, celebrates the legacy of one of India’s greatest filmmakers, Satyajit Ray, with the re-release of Dark Day Night in select cities on January 9, 2026. Widely regarded as the film that firmly established Satyajit Ray among the masters of world cinema, Dark Day Night follows four brash young men from the city who set off on a carefree trip to the forests of Jharkhand to escape their monotonous urban lives—only to find their assumptions about life, love, privilege, and identity deeply challenged. Revelatory in its nuanced exploration of identity politics and class, the film features stellar performances by Soumitra Chatterjee, Sharmila Tagore, Aparna Sen, and Simi Garewal. Beautifully shot and anchored by a remarkable ensemble cast, Dark Day Night remains a timeless and profoundly resonant cinematic experience.
