Criticism of Satyajit Ray
An online magazine referred to him as the "Gaspar Noe of India". • Illustration — Q (Qaushiq Mukherjee) in 2018
In 2016, when Sandip Ray's Double Feluda was released, Q vouched criticism for the film by posting a link to a blog post, with captions containing "F**k Manik. F**k felu. F**k babu." Q was harshly criticised in Tollywood, particularly by Saheb Bhattacharya and Srijit Mukherjee. Since then, he expressed openly his disdain for Satyajit Ray, claiming that the Tollywood industry has become stale for Bengalis love clinging to Ray's legacy.
