Comments:

In 1965, Ray was approached by Esso World Theater to make a short film in English with a Bengali theme. Never very comfortable working in any language except Bengali, Ray decided to exchew the spoken word altogether. Two is the result. Its a gem of a film, drawing out the class distinctions between the rich and the poor, bringing out the competitive one-upmanship that exists in all of us and yet stating Rays recurrent theme — the real meaning of life is in contained in human relations.

Many of the scenes found an echo in his later film Pikoo – the loneliness of Pikoo is very similarly presented – although Pikoo is on a different theme altogether.
