Devi (1960), directed by Satyajit Ray, is a haunting critique of blind faith and patriarchal control. Set in 19th-century Bengal, it tells the story of a young woman who is suddenly declared a goddess by her father-in-law. What follows is a slow, painful unraveling of her identity and autonomy. Through quiet visuals and subtle performances, Ray exposes the dangers of superstition and the suffocating expectations placed on women-making *Devi* one of his most powerful and unsettling works.
