Ray story (no spoilers)
Ray is a Hindi-language drama anthology series that premiered on Netflix on 25 June 2021. Created by Sayantan Mukherjee, it adapts four short stories by celebrated auteur and writer Satyajit Ray for the screen. The four episodes range from satire to psychological thriller, each telling a self-contained story with its own characters and conflicts. The series features an ensemble cast including Manoj Bajpayee as Musafir Ali, Kay Kay Menon as Indrashish Shah, Ali Fazal as Ipsit Nair, and Ajay Madhok as Hotel Manager Pritish, among others. Directed by Srijit Mukherji, Vasan Bala, and Abhishek Chaubey, the show blends dark humour, suspense, and human drama. With only one season of four episodes, each running about 63 minutes, Ray offers a compact, twisty viewing experience that explores the many shades of Ray's storytelling. The tone shifts from playful satire to unsettling thriller, reflecting the range of the source material. All four episodes are available to stream now.

Our verdict
Ray brings four Satyajit Ray stories to life with a strong cast and directors who know how to build tension. The anthology format means each episode stands alone, so you can sample the satire or the thriller first. At four episodes, it's a quick watch that leaves you thinking about Ray's timeless themes.
