Satyajit Ray was an auteur, he didn’t just make poverty porn, he had a great range. Charulata, Mahanagar, Feluda series etc were far from it. But it’s also true he was an Anglophile. Craved the western validation. Hated the natives. Didn’t let Soumitra & Madhabi work in Bollywood. Soumitra had to give up ‘Anand’. So yeah, he had his grey shades.
