Gupi and Bagha have long since taken their place in the annals of Bengali cinema and of course, folklore! With two brilliant Gugababa movies already in the cans Ray owed his audience some more of that magic. This genre of films have enthralled young and old alike. So when this one came out it was difficult to get tickets. And wow! He's done it again. Gupi's singing and Bagha's playing and their magical shoes like before kept us spellbound. This story is about a evil wizard who was afraid of a boy who's supposed to be his nemesis but he doesn't know who(reminds one of Harry Potter.Doesn't it?Maybe she was inspired by it! Who knows?ET sure in hell was lifted off Ray's script that he had submitted to Universal in the 70's). So he kills/imprisons all boys in his 'kingdom'. The soundtrack and songs all composed by Ray (or is it?) himself was very good. Even though it doesn't compare well with the previous two this one is quite good. This is a good wholesome entertainer for the family and while you are at it catch the other two and you will have something to remember. Long live Satyajit Ray!

I expected more but it was great too. Mind refreshing ending of great goopy bagha triology!
