ada the leading man is my tpye

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

joythemallick Gupi Gyne Bagha Byne is the most famous child fantasy in bengali films.....whether a child have seen Titanic or Jurassic Park but he/she definitely have seen this movie...i first saw this movie when i was 3 yrs old.and then i have seen this movie more than 100 times.after banishing from their villages gupi n Bagha met in a jungle and became friends.and then the king of ghost impressed with their music and gave them 3 boons.first,they get food,clothes etc by clapping their hands,second,they can go wherever they want by clapping their hands,third,they'll became master of music.and then they headed to a kingdom called Shundi.where they were send to a mission which they accomplish at last.but the great director Satyajit Ray have done an wonderful job.in 1968 with a shoestring budget of 600000 rs he have done great special effects,lighting,camera work etc.so atlast i can say just one thing in the movie gupi n bagha got 3 boons and we bengalis got 1 boon which is the great Satyajit Ray.

Suman Kumar Ganguly (Reviewed on the basis of watching on Video 44 years after release)Plot: Goopy and Bagha, after being exiled from their villages encounter a gang of ghosts in a bamboo-forest. The king of the ghosts grants them 3 boons which bestow them with supernatural powers. They soon head to Shundi where news arrives of the imminent attack by the kingdom of Halla. The king of Shundi sends them to Halla for espionage to prevent this war. Will Goopy and Bagha be able to save Shundi by using their magical powers?Review: 'Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne' written by Upendra Kishore Roychowdhury has forever been a children's favourite. So when his able grandson, the great Satyajit Ray decided to adapt this book for the big-screen; expectations were bound to surge. And it's a joy to say that they have been far exceeded!Although the genre of children's films was not totally absent, yet in the 60's they were still hard to come by. With the filmy-scenario ruled by emotional dramas and occasional comedies, Ray's version comes as a refreshing diversion; not only in mainstream Bengali cinema but also in Ray's own body of work. Considering the Apu-trilogy was not meant for children, 'GGBB' was the first of the many children's films to roll out from Ray's stable. The fact that this film is meant to entertain the children is evident from the characters and their mannerisms. Most of the characters are often seen behaving in a childish manner; be it in their animated expression of anger, fear, and wholehearted laughter and breaking into spontaneous jigs with crazy lyrics. Plus the unprecedented special effects to go with it. All of this makes an instant connect with the little ones is undeniable. There is a distinct feel of comedy running throughout the film, seen before only in 'Parash Pathar' and 'Mahapurush'.But it would be a huge misstatement to regard 'GGBB' only as a kiddy- flick. Just like any film of a great director, this film also communicates with its viewers in different layers. While it might not mean much more than fun entertainment for the adolescents, it conveys an anti-war message for the grey-hairs by discouraging wars among 'brothers'; a theme that shall remain as relevant till eternity.The film begins with a light-hearted tone and it doesn't budge from it for an instant. But as the film progresses and the actual devilry of the minister and his magician become gradually apparent, the gravity of the story gets well understood. Yet, all this is conveyed sub-consciously without once breaking the ambiance of fun; which is where Ray's mastery stands well distinguished.Tapen Chatterjee as the bumpkin Goopy with a childish smile and expressions is a great discovery. Robi Ghosh after 'Galpo Holeo Sotti' gets another lead role as the ambitious, commanding and shrewd Bagha; and he does full justice to it. Although, a better wig could have been expected. Jahar Roy is suitably cast as a comic villain in the role of the bandit-turned-cunning minister. Harindranath Chatterjee as the evil- magician Barfi who speaks in an alien tongue and resides in a curiously designed den, is a revelation. His total get-up, movements, phonetically hilarious dialogue-delivery and occasional expressions of the man who knows it all, are marvelous. But the show-stealer is undoubtedly Santosh Dutta in a virtual triple role. While the kind-hearted king of Shundi is a cake-walk for him, he shows his class as the dual-sided king of Halla. He is flawless as the innocence-personified twin brother (with a lovable voice) who turns into the executioner-loving tyrant upon being drugged. The contrast in body-language and dialogue-delivery is simply brilliant. A special mention has to be made of the character of the 'smiling assassin' wickedly flaunting all his teeth all the time. Kudos to Ray for creating this character which appears in just two scenes, doesn't utter a single word yet leaves a deep impression. It's due to him, Jahar and Santosh that the whole sequence involving the foreign delegates becomes my favourite from the film.But the character which over the years has become synonymous with Goopy & Bagha, is the iconic 'Bhooter Raja'. Immortally voiced by Ray himself, the king creates a lasting impression not only with his incredible appearance but also with his largesse. This, one of the earliest appearances of a ghost in Bengali cinema certainly played a big role in altering people's perception towards the super-natural.A truly-gifted never ceases to amaze with his/her bounty of talents. Such is the case with Ray. After spellbinding the world with his film- making and writing skills, he decides to bowl us over with his music and lyrical talents. Barring 'Jalshaghar' before this, hardly any other Ray- flick featured separately composed songs. Wonder why; when he could create songs like these! He garnishes the film with eight masterpieces, different in taste and feel. The lyrics are thought-provoking or insane but always simple. 'O Mantrimashai' is my personal favourite. Unearthing Anup Ghosal as Goopy's voice deserves credit; so does the odd choice of actor Kanu Mukherjee for the song 'Halla choleche juddhe'.Yet, the script has some minor loopholes. When Bagha plays his drum to please the kids, they don't become 'spellbound' in the literal sense. When the sentries capture Goopy and Bagha, Goopy could have easily started singing and escape; unless he was gagged which then should have been shown. The first message received by the king of Shundi was in some pictorial language, while later he received another one in pure Bengali; both from Halla! The ability of Goopy and Bagha to order the sweets to drop from the skies is also debatable; but can be pardoned considering the cinematic effect it creates.Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne shall forever remain a distinguished film in Ray's filmography; for the fact that it is his only all-out mainstream entertainer. But more importantly, it's a classic children's fare that shall enthrall generations to come.

somakd This movie depicts three basic needs of a human being : Food, Travel and amusement. Gupi and Bagha are two characters who meet in a jungle being banished by the King of their village. They by chance meet the King of Ghosts and he gives them three boons for their simplicity and innocence. The first boon : 'They will get food whenever they want' , ' the second : 'they can go anywhere they want' and the third : 'they will master art of music and everybody will be spell bound and motionless while they sing'. Only for the first two boons they have to clap each others hand. They travel (by clapping) to Shundi (a kingdom) to participate in a music competition and win. They become the King's court musicians. They found that all the people in Shundi except the family of the King were dumb because of an epidemic. Unfortunately in Halla (another kingdom governed by the King of Shundi's brother) the Minister drugs the innocent King and prepare to war against Shundi. He engages his chemist to prepare a cure for the dumbness of the people of Shundi. The reason is strange. According to him " If the people of Shundi don't say what they need then how can I bar them from having that?". Gupi and Bagha journeys to Halla and the things start to happen.

Manu I was not merely pleased, rather I was shockingly impressed by the level of finesse in the art work of this movie. Some of the stuff is years ahead of its times.The dark shadows of ghosts, their dances and the part of the movie in which Goopy and Bagha meet the beings from the other side is plain superb. A must see.
