Ray is an anthology web series created by Sayantan Mukherjee and directed by Vasan Bala, Abhishek Chaubey, and Srijit Mukherji, the series authors are Siraj Ahmed and Niren Bhatt. There are four episodes in the first season. All four stories are different from each other.
The series is a festival of the late Indian author Satyajit Ray. He was one of the Indian greatest writer and movie directors. All the stories were written by Satyajit Ray. The series highlights Manoj Bajpayee, Ali Fazal, Harshvardhan Kapoor, and Kay Menon as central characters.
The creators of this web series were mindful of that while assuming the test of reconsidering the expert Satyajit Ray’s short stories that have had their clique following over many years. The four shorts set in various universes bring out different states of mind.
As I said ray portrays four short stories composed by the late Indian creator, Satyajit Ray. Every story plunges into the existences of these boundlessly various characters and their excursion to turn into the absolute best man in every one of their separate vocations. These men are eager for power, goal-oriented, and will stop at literally nothing to become God-like in their status.
Ray: Forget Me Not
A corporate supervisor with a radiant memory and presumption to coordinate values his distinctive memory until an experience with a lady he can’t remember. He tries to remember but fails every time. It sends him to a phase of self-question and self-doubt. Ali Fazal playing the alpha male who ends up on a descending winding after an apparently chance experience with somebody from quite a while ago.

Ray: Bahrupiya
A hesitant cosmetics craftsman starts making and utilizing prosthetics to get back at those he feels violated by thinking his veils could be his shield. The story is a spine chiller with a shocking turn eventually, the key role played by Kay Menon assumes the nominal part with relish. Srijit Mukharji is a self-admitted enthusiast of the craft of prosthetics and has co-composed and coordinated a Bengali suspenseful thrill ride hit, a skilled make-up craftsman’s tryst with wrongdoing. Obviously, the subject keeps on captivating him.

Ray: Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa
A singer artist with compulsive thief inclinations experiences the survivor of one of his burglaries years after the fact, his compensation endeavor doesn’t go very as arranged. This story is a great anecdote about a vivid person with an embarrassing habit. Abhishek Chaubey, who is obviously attracted to the unpretentious, whimsical humor that frequently underlies Ray’s accounts, treats the two his source material and his entertainers with love. Furthermore, it is clear in the film that is suggestive of Ishqiya in the charming science between the two lead entertainers – Manoj Bajpai and Gajraj Rao-the enchanting humble community Esque universe lavishly itemized with a noteworthy appearance by Raghuvir Yadav, among different contacts. This short is maybe remains most genuine to the soul of Ray’s works.

Ray: Spotlight
A famous yet innovatively unsatisfied entertainer wrestles with his developing frailties as another symbol’s amazing quality takes steps to diminish his star. It’s anything but a commended entertainer Vikram “Vik” Arora who is known for a specific brand name look and a sort of existential emergency that he goes through when he meets a divine figure known as Didi. Vasan Bala’s interpretation of Ray’s story Spotlight is maybe the most exploratory, in the way it reconsiders the characters, the treatment, and the narrating. The story features significant female characters in this film about a star who unexpectedly loses his X-factor when an impossible opponent springs up in his reality. What might have been a sharp parody on star personality and frailties, winds up as somewhat of a narcissistic recognition for the expert, a feature of unmistakable contemptuousness.
