Hirok Rajar Deshe

Chandan Sen’s presentation of the evergreen story of Gupi Gayen & Bagha Bayen’s second adventure based on the movie bearing the same name directed by Satyajit Ray. With some fine modifications on the actual theme, Kharaj Mukherjee’s songs and lyrics adds a different flavour to the drama. Added to this is the excellent use of lighting that gives the play a new dimension though my recommendation will be to take seats a little at the rear to appreciate it justly. The acting is classic and watching the actor playing the part of Bagha, one can’t help remember Robi Ghosh whose performance made this character a legend. Produced by Asoknagar’s Nataanan this play is a memorable watch.
