Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne

(1969)Directed by Satyajit Ray129 minComedy, Music, Fantasy, Adventure, Family

Goopy Gyne (Tapan Chatterjee) sings and Bagha Byne (Rabi Ghosh) plays the drum, and both are so bad at it that their villages throw them out. Lost in the forest, they please the king of ghosts, who grants them three boons, and two kingdoms, Halla and Shundi, are edging toward war. Satyajit Ray wrote the songs himself, and the story keeps returning to one plain idea: music can do what armies cannot.
