| Description | This is a handwritten field notes diary ('Kheror Khata') or Shooting Script, which depicts several sketches and costume design of Satyajit Ray's film 'Hirak Rajar Deshe' (International release title 'Kingdom of Diamonds'). |
| Abstract | 'Hirak Raja' (The King of Diamonds) lives in a castle on top of the mountains, detached from reality. Everyone in his castle, unlike the people living outside, speak in rhymes, which shows how they live in their own rhythm, their own bubble. The king has a hunger for power, so he destroys all education systems in his land, so that no one gets educated enough to understand his politics and rebel. People who could be successful in life and could prove to be real gems in the society, turn out to become mine workers in the Diamond King's mines, digging out gems which serve no good to the society. This is the second film in the Goopy-Bagha series and revolves around the duo's adventures in the kingdom of an egoist, tyrant king. It was eleven years after delivering the highly successful film Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne that Ray decided to bring back once again the delightful singer-drummer pair in Hirak Rajar Deshe. It will be a pleasure for any reader to look at Ray's field notes for the film recorded in this manuscript. Being the epitome of excellence, Ray has sketched the film's characters, made notes on their props and postures and even stapled cut-outs of fabrics he thought would suit each character. He has beautifully done up Goopy-Bagha's magic slippers too. For a generation that has grown up watching Ray, this manuscript will serve as a gem. |
