Tragic death occurs twice in the film. First, Indir dies after being thrown out of the home. The two children, Apu and Durga, are disturbed to find her lifeless body in the forest. Then later, after playing in the monsoon for too long, Durga falls ill and eventually succumbs to death. The death of Indir was disturbing enough, but the death of a child, with so much life ahead of her, is a particularly tragic event for the family, and they are driven to leave the ancestral home by this tragic event.
