Hand-written script of Satyajit Ray’s Ghare Baire to release soon

The script was scheduled to be released at the WBFJA Awards on January 16 to mark Ray’s birth centenary, but it had to be cancelled because of the surge in COVID-19 cases, he said. “We will wait for an appropriate occasion for the release, preferably the award ceremony to be held when the situation becomes conducive. But certainly, we wish this can be done on the centenary year,” Dhar said.

Ghare Baire, made by Ray in 1985, had the freedom movement and the boycott of foreign-made goods as its backdrop. Soumitra Chatterjee, Victor Banerjee and Swatilekha Sengupta played the lead characters.
