Not very much sure that Satyajit was actually 6'4'1/2, even though he mentioned several times to be 6'4', I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually 6'3' because he never looked more than 4 inches taller than 5'10', 5'11' Soumitra Chatterjee, I think even if he was actually 6'4', he was a weak one.. I'd say 6'3'-6'3'5 for Satyajit at his peak, during his last days he didn't look more than 6'2' to be honest, 6'4'1/2 might just be a little exaggeration cos at times he even looked 6'2' with Soumitra in some pics or with 5'10'5-5'11' Tapen Chatterjee, he did look 6'4' with a 5'10' Utpal Dutt during the late 70's.

During an interview in radio station Korchi sabyasachi told the audience that at the time of casting for feluda he was trying to get the role, when he came across Satyajit Ray. A conversation held between these two. During Which Satyajit Ray asked Sabyasa hi about his hight. He replied that it's 6' 1.5" in reply Satyajit got up to leave the room and replayed that he himself is 6' 4"

You are right Zahid.I have seen Sabyasachi Chakraborty and Amitji together in Khakee. At that time Amit just was in his 60's so he was 6'1" and Sabyaschi was half an inch shorter than him so he was 6'0.5"(184cm) at peak.

I have seen many other actors with Sabyasachi Chakraborty like deepak adhikari who claimed be 6'1" he looks an inch shorter than 6'0.5" Sabyasachi, Abir Chatterjee looks same as Sabyasachi, Jisshu Sengupta looks 1.5 inches shorter than him. Sabyasach looks half an inch shorter than Amitabh Bachchan in Khakee who was 6'1" on that time. So Sabyasachi Chakraborty os 6'0.5"(184cm) at peak so what is the real heights of Deeps Adhikari, Abir Chatterjee and Jisshu Sengupta. And what would be the peak height of Uttam Kumar and Soumitra Chatterjee ?

I had the rare privilege of meeting Sabyasachi Chakraborty in person a few days back. I am 5'11.5" (doctor measurement) and he was about the same height.
Considering his age and posture, his peak height would be 6'0.5". He mentioned during a discussion last week that Satyajit was 2.5" taller than him.
That means Satyajit Ray was 6'3". The same height I had guessed him at judging by his pictures.

With 5'11.5" Akira Kirosawa, 5'11" Soumitra Chatterjee and Uttam Kumar Satyajit Ray does not looks 6'4.5" or 6'4". According to Quota by Beetihotra Basu Satyajit Ray was a legit 6'3"(191cm) tall which may be right. Ray was only 1 inch taller than his fictional character feluda and Amitabh Background who were 6'2".

Average height of bengal man is 5'6", if he looks 7-8 inches taller than that he would be 6'1"-6'2". I am a Bengali man I stood 5'7". Ray looks definitely 3 inches taller than 5'11" Soumitra Chatterjee so would be 6'2".

I think his height is not more than 6'2" because he is 3 inches taller than 5'11" Soumitra Chatterjee, 4 inches taller than 5'10" Uttam Kumar, 2 inches taller than 6'0" Shatrughan Sinha. He also towers 6'1" Amitabh Bachchan. He think his height is given to feluda as 6'2".

In Kolkata the average height is around 5'8"... And 6 feet plus guys are common here... I'm 5'10.5" tall and yes looking at him I can say he's over 6'4" easily without shoes... As he looks 7-8 inches taller than the average...

I don't get all these stereotypes whenever a South Asian over 6 ft comes along. Oooh he might have been a giant in Lilliput land. What the Hell. 6ft+ height is tall for most of the world including Europe and Americas, statistically speaking, except some Dinaric and North European Nations. Height depends on diet and a major percentage of Indians including well to do people do not take adequate amounts of protein(because of religious issues) not to mention all those street people that Tourists see when they visit India are Below Poverty Line. There was a time when Dutch and other people were quite short. Secondly, in India thanks to endogamy among castes, imposing physique is more associated with the Kshatriyas(Warrior castes). Priests and Merchant castes tend to be shorter. Thirdly, I am 5' 10.25". I was never considered sufficiently tall by my friends and peers.
And @Neelasish Sen Roy, I have stayed all regions of India and very tall people can be found in every region. Some of the tallest individuals I could recall from my college were a Bengali Brahmin, a Jatt Sikh and an Indo-Portuguese from Goa. From my personal experience I can say that Bengalis from Northern Bengal, Delhi tends to be taller than southern Bengalis from where Satyajeet Roy is.

He listed as 6'4.5" or 6'4".But it is too tall for a bengali. From BBC he is described as " over 6'1". I think Quora is right. His original height was 6'3" at max.

I think he was never 6'4.5". But he was taller than Amitabh Bachchan. In his biography he was described as 6'4" (193cm) tall,dark,handsome,lanky man with a remarkable Rich Smooth Voice.But I think he was 6'3" at max after watching a photo where, Ray and 5'11" or 5'10" Uttam Kumar was standing. I never think that he had same height as 6'4.5" Sir Christopher Lee, Rob?

See uttam kumar and satyajit ray standing together picture.Ray is exact 3 inches taller than uttam kumar.If uttam kumar is 5'10/5'11" tall so ray would be 6'1/6'2" tall. I think ray would be 6'2" at max which is perfect height for a man.I think 6'2.5" at peak.

It couldn't be ruled that Mr. Ray was a smidge over 6'5" for a good part of the day but the 6'4.5" figure is precise enough that it was doubtful he wasn't measured at it at some point.

Spot on Sam yeah. For me it's all about the experience, the surreal like quality or realism of the dialogue, the poetic nature of them, metaphor and emotional dynamic which you don't get in Hollywood, that's what makes them so special. I do think you need to have a certain level of intelligence to really appreciate them, and understand what the filmmakers are trying to achieve as a lot of people are going to the cinema to watch something which looks more like a conventional entertainment film. In a way it's like comparing some of the best classical music/opera with popular rap and hip hip music, the majority aren't going to appreciate it. A lot of people in fact won't pick up on a lot of the qualities in those sorts of films, that's why they think they're boring.

The thing is with these kind of directors is that with the black & white, subtitles and artistic and unflinching approach, that people think of there works as academic, challenging (which they can be), boring even...but directors like Kurosawa, Eisenstein, Miyazaki, or Fellini, couldn't make a boring, non-kinetic or non-entertaining film. Films by Ray, Ozu, Mizoguchi or Renoir are often way more moving and more deeply evocative than any drama made in Hollywood.

Also, here's another shot from when Ray and Kurosawa met.

I guess a fairly good representation of a 5 inch difference. Kurosawa looked about 4-5 inches taller than Andrei Tarkovsky when he met him and 3-4 inches over his leading man Toshiro Mifune. Kurosawa also looked roughly 4 inches over George Lucas and near 3 inches over Spielberg despite being of quite advantage age when photographed w/ them. Can't find any other shots of Ray next to people of known height.

One director I have immense respect for is Hayao Miyazaki. I'm generally not a big fan of animated films but what he achieves with his films is sensational, they're a surreal experience, the sort of thing we dream of as kids. Tarkovsky, Kubrick, Miyazaki, Kurosawa, Ray, Ozu, Mizoguchi, Renoir, Godard, Bresson, Bergman, Eisenstein, Fellini, now we're talking!!

@Sam Pathar Panchili I think is technically the best film of his I've seen, but Charulata is a masterpiece too and really quite charming. Zayak was very good too, but not quite so much. I've only a few films of his and Kurosawa's to finish off now and I'll have seen all.

I haven't seen Distant Thunder, Nayak and Charulata, I've got a lot of catching up to do!...Ray was super-prolific especially for a guy who wrote, produced, directed, edited and scored all his films. In The Music Room, the main character could have just been pitiful but the amount of sympathy Ray generates for him is remarkable.

Yeah, he and Kurosawa were mutual fans almost from the beginning, how cool is that? Ray got started later so I think was more likely influenced than the influencer but I think Kurosawa was a very outspoken Ray fan! When I watched Pather Panchali, the dynamic camerawork and artful use of black & white and shadows reminded me very much of Kurosawa.

If you want to use the English titles Charulata is The Lonely Wife and Nayak is The Hero. Admittedly I didn't recognize some of your English titles though and I think a lot of Indian visitors won't either. Even in my 1001 movies book some of the films are given in Bengali names. I think they're better known under those titles. Like if somebody asked me "Have you seen The Hero", it wouldn't ring a bell, but if they said Nayak it would be obvious.

Awesome addition, cheers Rob! Can you shorten Pather Panchali, The World of Apu and Aparajito to The Apu Trilogy, add the Calcutta Trilogy, Charulata (my favourite of his), Distant Thunder and Nayak?
I think 194 is likely accurate as he was described as both 6'4 and 6'5". Also remember he was getting on a bit when a lot of photos were taken and still looked a big guy. Did look the same sort of height as Jeff Goldblum,

Bengali Hindu like me. Hes a very very very tall Hindu Bengali male! We average at 5'6-7 honestly, taller than Muslim Bengali men(5'3-4 average). I'd say at 6'0 you get wows and amazement from other people at how tall that person is. 6'0 is low tall for white men but for a Bengali Hindu its remarkable. A 6'4.5(194cm) Bengali Hindu male??? People must have thought he was a giant. He was very very tall.
He was a good director too. Rip. 1992
6'4.5.
