Growing up with Satyajit Ray's film.

Satyajit Ray renowned Indian filmmaker create various fictional character on his film. Goopy Gyne and Bagha Byne, two fictional characters of Upendrakishor Roy Chowdhury, came alive in the movies of Satyajit Ray. This two guys were left out from their village and the got three promises from the king of ghost. Their life changed and they became a king's son in low. Director showed a excellent music skill on his whole film.  From these characteristics director made another sequel named Hirak Rajar Deshe . Though an apparent children movie, it was full interesting messages which are still relevant. The true picture of politics and social power struggle could not be portrayed any better than this movie. 

According to storyline, Goopy and Bagha were invited to the court of the Hirak Raja, for their musical skills. They had to perform at the kingdom's celebrations. The musical was one of akind where the king talks in rhyming word and so does the crazy scientist who invents the Brain-wash machine for the king. A rhyme of their own was created for the people of each and every trade, which was imprinted in their mind while the brain-wash took place in the laboratory called 'Jantarmantar'. What the line they were! Very cleverly, taking concept from the old word to mouth publicity, through the characters. 

Satyajit Ray reached his audience ranging from the age as early as six to 90 and above. This film provides elements of interest for all age groups. A sarcastic interpretation, as such of the government system and its impact over people's life is one of a kind. I remember as a child, I took interest in the music of the film which is equally entertaining and the charismatic tiger in the treasury. As I grew up, the rhyming verses started to make more sense, and I started to question why the poor were pushed into one big tent right before the big occasion of the Jubilee Celebration? It did not take me too long to link the story with the existing socio-political situation and everything seemed to make more sense.

My perception of Satyajit Roy reached his the film changed with my age. By the time I was making a connection between the film and real life, the dialogues of the film got embedded in my mind. I had no trouble uttering references from the movie in various places. The manner of storytelling and narrative of this movie demonstrates sheer intelligence.   The master filmmaker branded this movie as a part of our lives. The movie set a beautiful nationalism in me. I now give it names, I could understand human rights and need for education from a very early age. The film simulated me to ask questions, to my surroundings.
