Gaaner Oparey, A Milestone
Gaaner Oparey, was the musical journey between two artists, bohemian Gora and traditional Pupe and their love and in the whole process reinventing Tagore's "music" . The story revolved around a girl called Pupe from an orthodox Tagore-worshiping family and Gora, an extremely talented but care-free boy, who keeps on experimenting with "Rabindra Sangeet". Now what intrigued was: never the twain shall meet? This TV show marks the beginning of a-year-long celebration of 150th birth anniversary of Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore.
GAANER OPAREY was for people who understand Rabindranath, his songs, his poems, his understanding of love and life. The show soon became favourite show of the educated and sophisticated Bengali's across the globe. It was path breaking and brought a new set of viewers back to TV and achieved "cult" status. The serial created a great awareness among the young generations about Tagore, his philosophy and music. Most importantly it revolutionized "Rabindra Sangeet", and made it popular among youth who earlier shunned away from Tagore songs thinking it to be out of fashion.
It was initially scripted by Rituparno Ghosh and later by Anuja Chattopadhyay and was directed by Joydeep Mukherjee. The music director was Debojyoti Mishra. Majority of the songs sung by Samantak Sinha (i.e.for "Gora") and Sharmishta Paul (i.e.for "Pupe").
Gaaner Opaarey had outstanding cast, a blend of veteran actors and newcomers who did tremendous job and made all the characters immortal. Arjun's elder brother Gaurav Chakrabarty played a very important character named "Prodipto", his father Sabyasachi Chakrabarty was in a pivotal role named "Bisri" who was Pupe's father, and his mother Mithu Chakrabarty was also part of the cast.
Arjun portrayed the role of Gora (one of the ever best characterization), an immensely talented and gifted soul with terrific voice, who dared to sing "Rabindra Sangeet" in his own way causing a threat to big institutions like "Sonar Tori" who wanted to keep "Rabindra Sangeet" for elite class only and did not allow any experimentation on Tagore songs, for their own benefits and power. But Gora soon fell in love with Sonar Tori's Golden girl Pupe, who was considered to be torch bearer of Sonar Tori's tradition. Sonar Tori's exceptionally well crafted plan drifted apart the love birds on the Maghotsav day,and Gora completely heartbroken fled away, as he could not bear the betrayal and later wanted to sacrifice his love so that Pupe can stay happy getting married to Sonar Tori's choice. Arjun was absolutely phenomenal in such a complex role ,which had various shades of simplicity, innocence, romanticism, anger, betrayal, incapability,breaking down, agony, pain,suffering, sacrifice and finally getting back his love & succeeding in life, growth of a young lad to a complete man! Arjun was fabulous in all the emotions, and made Gora unforgettable.
