Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne (Bengali: গুপী গাইন বাঘা বাইন Gupi Gain Bagha Bain), directed by Satyajit Ray and based on a story by his grandfather Upendra Kishore Roychowdhury, is a popular Bengali children's film. It is sometimes released in the English-speaking world as The Adventures Of Goopy And Bagha. It is one of Satyajit Ray's few films with an abundance of musical numbers.
According to Ray, the film was made as a request from his son who had encouraged him to make a film specifically for a younger audience. Adapting the story "Goopy Bagha," which was written by his grandfather Upendra Kishore Roychowdhury, Ray wrote the screenplay and also composed the songs and music for the film. Working with source material already familiar to audiences, especially in Bengal, Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne has become one of Ray's most well-known and successful films in India, but remains one of his least-seen or known films elsewhere in the world.
The film was followed by a couple of sequels. Hirak Rajar Deshe was released after eleven years and Goopy Bagha Phire Elo was released after twenty two years. All of them followed the commercial success of the first film.
