Jalsaghar Jalsaghar (1958), known in English as The Music Room, is the fourth feature film directed by Satyajit Ray. Based on a novel of the same name by Tarashankar Bandopadhyay, the film is a detailed dramatic study of the last days of a zamindar - a semi-feudal landlord in Bengal. Told with a detail and sense of empathy that typify Ray's films, Jalsaghar drew high praise internationally (e.g. Bosley Crowther in The New York Times, Derek Malcom in The Guardian), and is discussed in the second volume of Roger Ebert's Great Movies as a landmark film in global cinema.
