Jalsaghar to be Screened at World Cinema Repertoire
RBN Web Desk: Auteur Satyajit Ray’s Jalsaghar (The Music Room) is all set to have a special screening in a repertory of world cinema. Jalsagahar has been widely acknowledged as one of the best performances of veteran actor Chhabi Biswas.
Ray’s 1958 classic had Biswas playing the role of a decadent landlord and was adapted from a story written by popular Bengali novelist Tarasankar Bandyopadhyay. It was Ray’s fourth film as a director and the first of his three projects with Biswas. The British Film Institute included the film in its list of 360 Classics.
