"In addition to winning Best Picture (and seven other awards) at the Oscars last week, Slumdog Millionaire passed a major box office benchmark.

In Aparajito, Apu lives on his own, independent of his family. In this last film, The World of Apu, Apu experiences love, which knocks him out of self-absorption (for a time). This last film is a film of redemption, but not perfection.
