story of two village lads achieving new heights
2 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne is a must watch for any one who loves good cinema.it is a movie for all those who enjoy the beauty of life in all it's simplicity.the story starts with Goopy who is eventually ousted by village king and how he meets Bagha and how they encounter the king of ghosts and thereby receiving three boons from him.it is from here that these two lads set on an adventure.

This movie scores in all direction.the music,lyrics and the screenplay are by the master director himself and he shows his mastery in each and every field he explores.indeed a true legend!!!The performance of Rabi ghosh and Tapan chatterjee is brilliant.they have immortalised the character of Goopy and Bagha.Santosh dutta a regular in ray movie is outstanding along with Jahar Ray in the role of a cunning minister of Halla.

the kind of message the movie conveys is what stays with you till the end of the day.the movie highlights the power and beauty of music in sharp contrast to the war loving minister of halla.ray shatters the romanticism associated with war through his mastery.

one scene that deserves mention is the morbidly under fed spy's report on "Shundi's" military secrets where he dreamily describes the calm peaceful serenity of birds in lush green pastures and the happiness of the folk only to be ridiculed by the obese ,war mongering minister chomping on his mid day feast

this movie has remained in the hearts and mind of the people since the time it released in the year 1968.if any of u haven't watched this movie then u have definitely missed something.so all those who have missed this movie get hold of a DVD and for those who have watched it,do the same!!!
