Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne (1969)

Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne (Bengali: গুপী গাইন বাঘা বাইন Gupi Gain Bagha Bain) is a 1969 Indian fantasy adventure comedy film written and directed by Satyajit Ray and based on a story by his grandfather Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury. It is a fantasy-musical film, with the music and lyrics written by Ray himself. This is the first film of the Goopy – Bagha series, and there are two sequels – Hirak Rajar Deshe, which was released in 1980, and Goopy Bagha Phire Elo, written by Satyajit Ray but directed by his son Sandip Ray, which was released in 1992.

The film was based on the characters Goopy Gyne and Bagha Byne, who made their first appearance in the Sandesh magazine in 1915, with illustrations by Ray’s grandfather Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury.[2] In 1961, after the revival of Sandesh, Ray began contemplating the idea of making a film based on that story, and he was partly compelled by his son Sandip to make a film which was less ‘grim and adult’.[2] This was matched by Ray’s own desire to make a movie that, unlike his previous movies, would cater to children. Plus, this would also give him an opportunity to lace the story with music and dancing, a point his movies’ producers and distributors were always insisting upon.[2][3] Ray managed to convince producers to finance the movie, even though it was clear from the beginning that the film would cost a lot of money.

The movie released to great critical and commercial reception, which held the record for longest continuous run of a Bengali-language movie in Bengal, as it ran for 51 straight weeks.[5][4] It won the Best Feature Film and Best Direction awards at the 16th National Film Awards, and went on to win many other international awards as well.[6][7] Critical reception was highly positive. Raja Sen called it to be the most innovative movie to have ever come out of India.[8] Phil Hall said that the movie “comes as a delightful surprise – Ray, it appears, not only possessed a great sense of humor but also enjoyed a stunning talent for musical cinema.
