\"Goopy

Tapen Chatterjee as Goopy Gyne (R) and Rabi Ghosh as Bagha Byne<\/p><\/div>\n

Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne<\/em> is a film directed by Satyajit Ray. Starring Tapen Chatterjee (as Goopy) and Rabi Ghosh (as Bagha), it’s a story about two musicians \u2013 Goopy, a singer and Bagha, a drummer who are thrown out of their villages Amloki and Hortuki, respectively by their kings.<\/p>\n

In the film, the things I liked the most were first, the songs which had very funny lyrics. The film is full of suspense and every dialogue and scene is unforgettable.<\/p>\n

Let us get a small glimpse of the film. As I already said, Goopy and Bagha the two musicians are banished to the forest because of singing or playing the dhol just for their own pleasure. But then there is a twist in their destiny.<\/p>\n

The King of Ghosts (\u2018Bhooter Raja\u2019 in Bengali) gives them three boons. First, whatever food they would like to eat or any clothes they would like to wear would come to them instantly if they clap each other\u2019s hand (or what we now call a High Five).<\/p>\n

\"Goopy

Goopy and Bagha can eat their favourite food wherever and whenever<\/p><\/div>\n

Second, whenever or wherever they start singing, no listener will be able to move.<\/p>\n

Third, by wearing the magic pair of shoes given to them by the King of Ghosts whichever place they would wish aloud, they could go instantly after clapping their hands of course. Just think, if these types of boons or dreams come true, then what will remain in life to worry about? Everything would be in our own hands.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s talk about the kings of Shundi and Halla, the twins. Both of them (played by Santosh Dutta in a double role) are very kind and decent but the King of Halla has been brainwashed by his evil minister and a magician. That’s the reason, Halla wants war and Shundi wants peace. Goopy and Bagha both go to the King of Shundi where they sing the song Maharaja tomare selam<\/em>\u00a0(Salutations, your highness) at the music competition. Listening to their song everyone including the king becomes a statue. Only when Goopy claps thrice to break the spell, everyone starts dancing with joy and happiness.<\/p>\n

The scene I liked the most is the one where the King of Shundi falls asleep while listening to all the classical songs of the participating musicians. His crown, which looks more like an oversized cushion topples from his head when Goopy\u2019s song ends and the king starts jumping up and down, almost like a bhangra.<\/p>\n

Maharaja, tomare selam<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
