The World of Apufollows Apu's life as an orphaned adult aspiring to be a writer as he lives through poverty, and the unforeseen turn of events. But he sidetracked from this goal when he meets Aparna, whose impending wedding is canceled when the groom turns out to be mentally unstable. In order to save Aparna from a custom-dictated life of spinsterhood, Apu marries her himself.
Director Satyajit Ray, with greater technical means, makes the truth of his relationships and the revelation of India the main trumps of the film. Wit, tenderness and intrinsic human revelations illuminate this unusual film.
Though the rhythm of the storytelling is choppy and Apu himself seems incompletely realized, the first appearance of the remarkable Sharmila Tagore as his well-to-do bride upgrades the film's middle section.
