Jalsaghar[1] (Bengali: জলসাঘর Jalsāghar, lit. 'The Music Room') is a 1958 Indian Bengali drama film written and directed by Satyajit Ray, based on a popular short story by Bengali writer Tarasankar Bandyopadhyay, and starring Chhabi Biswas. The fourth of Ray's feature films, it was filmed at Nimtita Raajbari, in Nimtita, Aurangabad, Murshidabad. Despite initial poor critical reception in India, Jalsaghar went on to win the Presidential Award for best film in New Delhi,[2] and played a significant role in establishing Ray's international reputation as a director. It has since gained near-universal critical acclaim,[3] and has come to be regarded by the cinema community as one of the greatest films of all time.[4][5][6][7][8]
