      Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's a competently made fairy-tale film, but it's the kind of film perhaps any good director could have made and did not need a great one. Rated: B- Mar 11, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member one of my favorite movie...of all time ..:D Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A brilliant political satire that is always relevant. The humour in the language, the acting by stalwarts... perfectly done. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member First and foremost a children's movie, so the message against tyranny is well-meaning but rather blunt. In general it's formulaic but entertaining enough, with lovely (though cheap) sets and charming songs written by Ray himself. The major weak point is a 20-minute long scene in the first act, which doesn't even have Goopy and Bagha in it. It seems to me like this would try the patience of any child. And kids may be amused by Bagha's bug-eyed expressions, but I thought they were pretty stupid. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Most of the script is written in rhyme... except, conspicuously for one character. A good movie for kids, one of Ray's first color films is a solid effort. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The best musical film in the history of Bangla motion pictures. At the same time it's the- best fantasy film in Bangla cinema best science fiction film in Bangla cinema Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member very nice, though i think the first part was better ...
