Ghare Baire (film) by sudden bursts of activity." Ghare Baire (film) Ghare Baire ("The Home and the World") is a 1984 Indian Bengali romantic drama film by director Satyajit Ray, based upon the novel "Ghare Baire" by Rabindranath Tagore. It features Soumitra Chatterjee, Victor Banerjee, Jennifer Kendal (in her last film appearance) and Swatilekha Chatterjee (Sengupta). Ray prepared a script for it in the 1940s, long before he made his first film "Pather Panchali". It deals with a subject that has often appeared in Ray's work: the emancipation of women and what it does to them and to the men who love them.
Pather Panchali established crew. Funding was a problem from the outset. No producer was willing to finance the film, as it lacked stars, songs and action scenes. On learning of Ray's plan, one producer, Mr Bhattacharya of Kalpana Movies, contacted Bandopadhyay's widow to request the filming rights and get the film made by Debaki Bose, a well-established director. The widow declined as she had already permitted Ray to make the film. The estimated budget for the production was 70,000 (about US$14,613 in 1955). One producer, Rana Dutta, gave money to continue shooting, but had to stop after some of his films flopped.
